vinapu Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Since last year (2023) I happened to be in Thailand during two of those NO ALCOHOL days I observed that few bars were still opened but definitely no alcohol was sold and traffic was almost non-existing. That the best time to utilize apps or secure presence bar boys few days in advance. One saves on off fee and boy will be double grateful for income on otherwise monetary dry day. If you happen to stock up on beer , he may even be triple grateful. In short , plan accordingly revengeboo and Marc in Calif 2 Quote
