TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around uncertainty regarding the status of alcohol sales in Thailand amidst changing regulations during COVID-19. Participants express confusion over lifting bans and note potential loopholes, like being able to buy alcohol but facing travel restrictions across provinces. The most recent updates suggest that alcohol sales would resume on May 3rd, but concerns remain about ongoing legal ambiguities.

The ban was up to the 30th and being lifted the 3rd. What free-for-all was the 1st and today? If there is no law then it's a free-for-all 🍻👌
