Anyone else feel an alcohol ban is coming? I just drove around 7/11s here in Northern Bangkok, and over 10 of them had no alcohol whatsoever,.and there were no empty shelves or fridges. Everything was set up fully stocked.... But no alcohol. Two 7s close to my apartment still have alcohol, but they are the only two, and their stocks are very low... Any else seen anything like this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Concerns have been raised among residents about a potential alcohol ban in Thailand, especially observed in 7-Eleven stores in Northern Bangkok, where alcohol stocks seem to be depleting. Several users have reported similar shortages in other regions like Phuket and Pattaya, with various reasons speculated such as restrictions near schools, lack of delivery drivers, and general supply chain issues attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions also included alternative places to buy alcohol and the prevalence of empty shelves for other grocery items.
