In Thailand, the sale and consumption of alcohol are prohibited on Buddhist Lent Day, which is also known as Wan Khao Phansa (วันเข้าพรรษา). It’s considered a religious observance day, and the sale of alcohol is not allowed as a sign of respect for the monks and their spiritual practice during the three-month monastic retreat. The ban on alcohol sales is enforced by the government, and businesses, including bars and restaurants, are required to comply with the restriction. During Buddhist Lent Day, many establishments close or limit their operations, and alcohol is not available for purchase in public places. It is a time when Thai people typically focus on religious activities, offering alms to the monks, and engaging in acts of merit and generosity.
