Prohibition extended till the end of April

The somewhat expected news was made public early wednesday afternoon. Alcoholics will have to either deal with withdrawal or find sources.  
Not a major problem for me.  I drink an occasional beer when I have an upset stomach. It relaxes the muscles. One beer is usually sufficient. Replacement medicines have undesirable side effects.
Most businesses will most likely get the ok to reopen by May 1.  
That will most likely happen because the Thai government has limited funds and may need to borrow money for further benefit payments.

Deeply appreciated the interruption

Half a dozen friends visited as a group very unexpectedly and did the Songkran ritual, placing flowers in my hands and pouring water onto my hands.  
GOOGLE In Buddhism water "symbolizes life,  purity , clarity and calmness , and reminds us to cleanse our minds and attain the state of purity . Water is used to clean away dirt ."

Prohibition started here

Some seem to think that Thailand Tourism will be up and running later this year.  I have serious doubts.  

Just because (eventually) borders are reopened, tourism is not going to rebound quickly. There will remain a fear to travel to distant lands. Thailand's neighbors seem to be having more serious problems with the virus than Thailand.

For the near future travel plans will involve close to home (domestic) travel. This requires domestics  with jobs and a little extra cash.

Health checks may be required for future international travel.  It would seem sensible to test a bit more than just the body temperature.

Sakon Nakhon has been surprisingly lucky with very little known virus. There were unconfirmed rumors early of just a few suspicions and only one confirmed case.

Sakon Nakhon was the first province to introduce alcohol prohibition.  Made international headlines within hours. It was also a very busy evening on my blog. It will be interesting to see if prohibition ends as scheduled or will be extended

Majority of shops are closed.  A few shops were open, but then they are also residencies.  

Quite a few people have left town and gone to distant villages for the holidays. I base that on a few facebook postings
