Tightening of Alcohol Laws With New Fines for Drinkers
Not a bad idea. Have every tourist in Phuket go to the beach at 2.05. Open a beer and see what happens. Mass extortion? The western media would love that.

How important is it to learn Thai to build trust and deeper
Politeness aside, it just makes life easier if you can speak at least some Thai. You don't need to spend hours studying. You can learn a lot just by studying 20 minutes a day. If you do it consistently.

Medication for gout
Everyone has different triggers. When I was first diagnosed with gout the doctor told me to give up beer, which I did for 2 years. It made no difference. I went back to drinking beer and eventually figured out that in my case gout is triggered by crustaceans, shellfish and spicy food. I still eat them, but much less than I used to. A doctor in Thailand also warned me to stay away from fish sauce, but that's a non issue since I don't use it anyway.
