Alcohol Ban?
Been to three local shops today and it was business as usual.
Went to SuperDuper and alcohol sales were banned to the 12th
Went to a bar on 172 and was told there was no beer.
Went to a bar in TTP and told no problem.

The announcement isn’t particularly clear. I understood it to be restaurants and bars. I thought buying for private consumption was ok.
Was intending to buy a couple of bottle of champers this week - may now struggle to do so

I bought a case of wine yesterday, no problem
I think gathering in public or at home in large groups and drinking is prohibited
The law regrading eating in restaurants is (perhaps deliberately) ambiguous, on the one hand they say no in-house eating, and in the next paragraph they say it's ok provided the canteen or restaurant observes distancing and safety protocols

Pardon my engrish, thanks you.
The problem for most restaurants is that the average indoor seating cannot comply with the 1.5m rule. A neighbouring restaurant who was open until yesterday was told by police to close and offer take away only (BKK1).
At the riverside you are forbidden to sit outside (for example at Pink Elephant) and take out only. But most restaurants will allow known customers to dine in but keeping a low profile.
Rules do not mean a thing in Cambodia so as restaurant owner you are at the mercy of police patrols and their interpretation of the rules..... I wonder how many will make it through this second lockdown.

All this uncertainty is enough to drive a man to not drink.Harry Monk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 10:11 pmSo has the Kerfew *(due to end tomorrow at midnight from last annoucment) extended for another week

Just not after 10PM
I have heard that there was a 1 week extension and that it was 2 weeks and the next date for an announcement is the 25th. I guess we'll find out today.

Glad to see the present ban is keeping everyone safe from the coup. Now it's only people dying from bootleg alcohol. Three young girls yesterday, ages 17 & 18.
Myself I'll just have to wait until I can stock up on some good 16yo Single Malt Scotch although it seems like just about the time one ban ends the guv comes up with another.
Hard to see the logic in it all because if you read the Khmer Times daily it would appear that there are nightly group drinking busts. As of yesterday the chances of getting the C are .58% countrywide and the chances of dying are a little over 2%.
I'm more worried about dying from crossing the street or just being a pedestrian!

The people dying of Covid-19, so be it. That is already low.Ibenthereto wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 4:05 pmGlad to see the present ban is keeping everyone safe from the coup. Now it's only people dying from bootleg alcohol. Three young girls yesterday, ages 17 & 18.

The growing number of infections prevents opening up the economy any further and opening of schools, and is a visible threat in itself for incoming tourists.
When the numbers are really low, once a 97% vaccination level is reached, contact tracing is possible again, once an infection is found. Contact tracing with 500+ detected infections is as much as impossible, given the amount of labor needed for that.
Let alone, once you are at a very low level, with sufficient vaccination penetration, the incidental outbreaks are just manageable.
We have seen in many EU countries (as well as the UK), what happens, when the country is opened up to early: Within 1-2 weeks here is an explosion of cases.
We should realize, the Chinese vaccines aren't that effective, not suitable to contain the India variant, despite a huge vaccination level. It needs the booster and before that is applied, there are little other means than limiting the crowd-gatherings.

That's not how it works. I'd imagine you are abroad and not really aware of how things are going on on the ground here. It is still very easy to get alcohol. Drinking in a large group in a public venue is a problem and could attract the authorities. Buying alcohol and drinking it at home will not usually be an issue.Ibenthereto wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 4:05 pmGlad to see the present ban is keeping everyone safe from the coup.

The problem here is not that these young women couldn't buy alcohol legally. They could have bought a crate of beer or a bottle of Johnny Walker or Hennessy X.O anywhere. They just went for the cheap option, likely because they had few funds. So they bought the cheapest rotgut available. Unfortunately it was contaminated.

Lucky, if you want to consider BKK1 "abroad" up 2U. BTW, if there are places that are selling take out I'm unaware of them because all the stores that I've been to aren't selling any and I only drink at home.
