FLASH: Caution - As Reported
PHUKET: Alcohol will be off the menu as residents go to the polls on November 19 to elect presidents and council members for six Phuket Tambon Administration Organizations (OrBorTor).
The ban on alcohol sales, as is policy for every election in Thailand, will begin at 6pm on November 18 and last until midnight on election day.
Residents in Koh Kaew, Kamala, Cherng Talay, Thepkrasattri, Mai Khao and Sakoo will cast votes in presidential and council member races.
Each voter must select one president for the OrBorTor and two council members to represent their village. Currently there are 16 candidates for the six presidential positions up for grabs, and 183 candidates for 84 council member seats.
The terms of the people filling these positions expired on October 6, Phuket Election Committee (PEC) Director Kittipong Thiengkunagrit said.
Just a Heads Up - look for BBQs or go South to Pa Tong.
Mind you - the whole Island might be out of grog by then the way things are going.
