Bars asked for “no-alcohol’ weekend
PHUKET: Bars and retail outlets are being asked to refrain from selling alcohol on Sunday and Monday to honor Asarnha Bucha Day and Buddhist Lent Day, respectively.
Natanit Phromthawee, an administrative officer of Kathu District Office, told the Gazette that her office had issued a formal request to that effect.
“We can’t force anyone not to sell alcohol over the two holidays and it is up to each business owner to decide, but in the past we have had good cooperation,” she said.
The request will not cover Tuesday, which is a “substitution day” holiday for Asarnha Bucha Day.
