TLDR : Answer Summary
From April 10th to 20th, 2020, there is a ban on alcohol sales in Thailand due to COVID-19 restrictions. This has sparked discussions among expats about how the ban affects their plans, with some joking about forced detox and expressing surprise at high beer prices compared to other countries. Comments highlight confusion about whether the ban applies to specific regions like Phuket and Phangnga.

Canada is the land of getting taxed out of your ass for everything especially fuel, liquor and cigarettes.

This has been coming for a while now. I've worked hard on it. I'll be ok for, hmm, around five days. Jeebus! Forced detox coming up soon.
