Is this ban on alcohol on buddhist holidays going to affect me? Of cos not. There're still restaurants selling alchohol during buddhist holidays if you know where to find them. In the past, instead of selling them in usual beer mug, they pour it in plastic cups. Recent years, they're getting bolder. They just continue to sell it as it is because they have "sen yai". At least thats what the waitress told me.

To me, this is just one of the many "for show" laws in Thailand. If I am a true buddhist, I don't need this law to prevent me from drinking alchohol during "Buddha Day".
