    Thongchai said the ministry had only health data but did not have business and economic data, so they were unable to consider the matter thoroughly.

    They need to set up a committee to look into what is needed in order to set up a committee. Then, they need to go out into the field, and explore a few dozen restaurants to visualise the impact, then go back and set up a committee to evaluate the findings and report back. Should all be clear cut by, say, 2029....ish.

    A lot of tourists don't want to pay bar prices, which is fair enough. They also like to buy cheap "travellers" from the Seven and then wander around the streets with the bottle in their hand like lo-sos 😉

     

    PS. I used to do that when I was a backpacker. I was quite partial to the small cans of "Singha Draft". Of course, now that I'm older I frown upon such behaviour. Tsk tsk 😅

    I know many Thais drink in the street, heck, they ride around here with a bottle of Chang in one hand, and a spliff in the other. However, it is illegal, and a good little earner for the BIB to extort Farangs.

    Walk free from prison? He never spent a night there. 

     

    Walk free from luxury suite at the police HQ would be more accurate. 

     

    Either way, bad news for expats in Thailand. Thaksin is notoriously anti foreigner. I wouldn't be surprised to see visa crackdowns, increased financial requirements etc. Bad news all round. 

    Yep, get him and A nut in together and I am moving.

  4. This went through our village recently, but in a slightly different form. A receipt was dropped in the letter box. All appeared official, with a QR code to pay. That is when the money goes to a fake account. This was posted a few months ago, so we were wise to it. One crazy thing is when they drop them in the mailbox. It must be the middle of the night as our box is directly outside the shop front gate.
