Question
Is it allowed to drink alcoholic beverages on the streets of Phuket?
Insider's Response
In Thailand, there is no strict ban on consuming alcoholic beverages in public places, so drinking alcohol on the street is allowed. However, according to Thai law, it is prohibited to drink alcohol in certain places, such as gas stations, temples, hospitals, pharmacies, educational institutions, and public parks. Please note that in Phuket, there is a restriction on the sale of alcohol in stores during the day from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at night and in the morning from 12:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
