As of Nov 8th, Thailand has banned drinking alcohol during certain hours, and you can get major fines if you do
The updated Alcoholic Beverage Control Act (No. 2) B.E. 2568 means both selling and drinking alcohol are prohibited during these hours at most venues: midnight to 11 a.m., and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.. 
The ban now covers consumption, not just sale. So even if you buy a drink at 1:59 p.m., drinking it at 2:05 p.m. in a non-exempt spot can be illegal.

Standard hours when alcohol sales/consumption are allowed in non-exempt venues: approximately 11 a.m.-2 p.m., and 5 p.m.-midnight. 
Some venues are exempt: licensed hotels, entertainment venues, and international airports can still serve beyond these hours. 
Penalties: Individuals caught drinking during banned hours in non-exempt venues may face fines up to 10,000 Thai baht.
