TLDR : Answer Summary
During the ongoing pandemic, various provinces in Thailand continue to enforce restrictions on alcohol sales. For instance, residents in Pathumthani and Buriram are facing a ban on alcohol sales until the end of May, prompting frustration among expats and locals alike. There are also concerns regarding a lack of social distancing observed in crowded areas, raising questions about the potential return of stricter regulations.

Judging by crowds and no social distancing on some of those videos. I think they may go back to the ban

the crowds are because of the ban! If people were allowed to buy whenever they want, there wouldn’t be a problem.
