Hans Majestät Kung Bhumibol Adulyadej (Thailand) har avlidit, kan det påverka resande till landet?

En legitim fråga är, vad kommer att hända med alkoholservering på THAI flighter samt på THAI lounger under 30 dagars (eller ett års) sorg?
Blir det torrlagd?

Inte för att jag kommer att lida om det blir utan alkoholservering (jag dricker alkohol sällan) men det kan vara intressant för andra medlemmar.
 
Att förbjuda alkoholservering skulle vara ett dråpslag mot Thailändsk ekonomi så jag hoppas för deras egen del att de ej gör en sådan åtgärd.

Verkar inte bli något stop för alkohol förutom dom vanliga alkohol försäljnings reglerna, följande finns att läsa på thaivisa.com en sida med nyheter från Thailand riktade mot expats, det står dock ingen info om alkohol ombord på Thai Airways flyg.

Bars, restaurants and alcohol sales

Most bars and restaurants will be open, although some may decide to stay closed until after weekend.

For places that remain open it is likely will do so without music and may also choose not to serve alcohol, with the atmosphere understandably more subdued than normal.

However, alcohol sales are permitted, with the usual rules on the sale of alcohol applying - sales permitted 11am to 2pm and from 5pm to 12am.

There will be no alcohol sales on Oct 16th as this is a Buddhist holiday, Wanok Phansa, the last day of lent.
