Buddhist Lent Day Designated As Thailand’s "no Alcohol Day", (Friday July 18, 2008)
Buddhist Lent Day, known among Thais as Khao Phansa, has been designated as Thailand’s “No Alcohol Day.”
The decision was made by the Cabinet, during its meeting on July 8, following a proposal by the civic sector network, which submitted a letter to the Government on July 7.
The letter states that it is a traditional practice by many people in Thai society to declare their intention not to have alcoholic drinks in observance of the Buddhist Lent.
Buddhist Lent Day marks the start of the three-month Buddhist Rains Retreat, usually between July and October. The request by the network for the Government to declare a No Alcohol Day is to promote the good traditional practice, in the same manner as the observance of “No Tobacco Day.”
The beginning of the Buddhist Lent falls on the first day of the waning moon of the eighth lunar month. This year, it falls on July 18, when several religious activities are held to mark this holy day. Refraining from drinking alcohol is considered a worthy act, not only for keeping people in good health, but also in the observance of Buddhist principles. One of the five precepts in Buddhism is to abstain from intoxicating drinks, which are a primary cause of carelessness and anti-social behavior.
A campaign to encourage people to refrain from drinking alcohol during the Buddhist Lent has been carried out since 2003. A study indicates that the campaign, conducted between 2005 and 2007, was successful in raising public awareness of alcohol abuse. More and more people were found to join the campaign during the Buddhist Lent and they voiced their support for the proclamation of “National Anti-Alcohol Day.”
According to an ABAC Poll conducted in 2006, most people, 88.6 percent, were in favor of the designation of a No Alcohol Day, and 61.6 percent were of the opinion the first day of Buddhist Lent should be proclaimed No Alcohol Day. The anti-alcohol campaign has received a positive response from the general public.
The civic sector network quoted a survey that Thailand ranks fifth among the largest alcohol consuming countries in the world. Also, the number of alcohol drinkers among young people, aged 15 and 19, is on the rise in the country.
Heavy drinkers may suffer from serious health problems, such as heart disease, abnormal blood circulation, and paralysis. They may become emotionally unstable, affecting their ability to make decisions and observe moral conduct. More than 50 percent of road accidents are caused by drunk driving, and many cases of violence in the home and other crimes are also caused by intoxicating drinks.
Thailand’s Alcohol Control Act, which came into force in February 2008, seeks to ban liquor advertising and restrict the sale of alcohol in or near temples, public parks, government offices, and schools. The proclamation of No Alcohol Day is also in line with the alcohol control law.
Bars may be open dry !

I just came back from Ratchdapisek. After a plate of oysters at Samboon Seafood I was ready for some action, but Emmanuelle, Poseidon, and Mataree were all closed. A taxi driver said they would be closed for 3 days, but he was most anxious to take me to an MP downtown for "only 50 baht taxi fare".
Oh Buddha, say it ain't so.

NEP closed Thurs, so was the beer bar complex on Soi 22.
Some of the bars in Washington Square "looked" like they were closed but they were not. On the same side of the street as Taffy and Bourbon St are two small bars. One is called the Hare and Hound and I forget the other bars name, but it is right next door - a British name. That is where we ended up from 5:30pm-7:30pm. A few beers were accepted and an offer to take me upstairs and f*** my brains out was declined.
From the outside, it looked like everything was closed and locked. It might pay to knock on a few doors.  On the way out, I noticed that Wild Country had a light on outside, not sure if they were open. Again, it might pay to knock on the door.
Tulip was open (I called to check but never go there).
Soi 7 beer garden was open and serving, as well as the two other pool bars on Soi 7. Sukhumvit street bars after midnight were on as usual. BK and I each took a girl that was in the beer garden. Actually, his was walking into the beer garden and mine (37 kilo) was walking down Sukhumvit after being in the beer garden. I spilled a whole glass of orange juice on my girl's dress, so I had to take her back to the room so she could wash it off.
