I am not sure where this should be but i am sure mods will place accordingly.

My little darlings love "Market Place" , why because ther are lots of people and Thai's love crowds.

I on the other hand try to avoid crowds and franchise's . However it was my niece's day off from Index so MK was her choice to eat.

We were well into ordering when i ordered my usual chang , when the waitor informs me no alchohol until 5 pm. I left after informing them they were not interperating the law properly. My wife said it is to new they don't know the the law yet!!

I had lunch today in the flashy shiny new Japanese restaurant in Market Village. Had no problem ordering a Heineken!?

Great place by the way, cool decor, great food/service at reasonable price. Was very busy in there with mostly Thai's. Place will definately be a hit.

Could there be entirely separate laws regulating

A. The sale of cans of beer, wine, etc. in stores (such as 7/11) during those hours,

B. The sale and consumption of alcohol on the premises of a licensed restaurant or pub?

Off sales are now restricted to 11-3 and 5-midnight. 7-11's seem to be adhering to these times. I'd agree that on-sales in a bar, restaurant etc are not covered by these timings - except for closing time.
I was at my local shop one day a couple of weeks ago, about 10amish I think and the lady wrapped my bottles of Chang up in newspaper so they couldn't be seen throught the plastic bag.
Going and coming back from Bang Saphang last weekend, I tried to get a couple of beers at a petrol station 7-11. No way, at either of them. Alcohol sales at pertrol stations were outlawed at the same time last year as the new off-sales hours came in. The penalties can be severe - it's up to 100,000 or 200,000 baht fine for the retailer, I think.
What can alchies like myself do now if we're "on the road"? Cheers

I had lunch there last week and ordered a Heineken at 1: 45 pm, but I was told by the waitress that I wouldn't be able to order anymore after 2 pm. Seems like Fuji are following MK's policy.

My wife seems to think it is because they are all located in the same building - which means Tesco Lotus are now governing the sales of alcohol in a licenced restaurant. I am also confused.

between 14.00 and 17.00 we cannot buy alcohol in 7/11 and bigger petrolstation on the Phetkasem in both direction.
But my best advise if you still want a beer-I do it sometimes.
Go inside 7/11 grab a beer and open it and taste it-then go and pay it...
The cashier see me -a farang who dont understand and always ask her friens-What to do? and they say-Farang dont know so I always get it.
Exman is a bad boy sometimes.
