Did you actually read the article past the headline? "Early morning binge-drinking sessions" https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-doctor-reveals-why-you-shouldn’t-drink-alcohol-in-morning-482956

My uncle had a friend who was a brain surgeon. This person would have a shot of vodka every morning. That was it. One shot every morning and no more for the rest of the day. Couldn't function without it. This is one example of why the alcoholism/alcohol dependency debate is not as straight forward as many think.

You have absolutely no right or knowledge to espouse this drivel. This paricular law I hate as does everyone else who is affected by it. It's complete nonsense. Stay away from Thailand? Please keep your sanctimononius comments to yourself. This law which has been around for decades was only really enforced by Thaksin in 2004. I hated it then and I've hated it for each of the 19 years I've been here. I work here and I have a family here so again please keep your illinformed comments to yourself.

I certainly go to my closest M&P shop which is situated directly behind my closest 711. The beer is actually cheaper. Last Sat I went to buy some rice there and sit down and relax with a beer. Shop was shut (very rare) and it was 10:40 in the morning. Option of a relaxing beer was therefore impossible due to prohibition. Just complete and utter insanity with no reason whatsoever for it's existence.

Damn I've done it again. Ridiculous. Happy now. Your argument is ridiculous and continues to be. It's not about managing shopping habits. What's this got to do with restaurants. Again your argument is flawed. If I want to buy ONE can of beer at a 711 I pop into at 10:30 in the morning or 3:30 in the afternoon I should be able to but cannot because of what as I stated is somre form of a bizaare prohibition. There really is no sane or logical argument for this nonsense.

Your idea is somewhat correct but the hours you state are far from the reality of school hours. Apart from that students in school uniform will not purchase alcohol. Not that I've seen.

This is a rediculous argument. This is about the availability of a product to adults not about alcoholism or alcohol dependancy. This is about some bizaare form of prohibition not about people's drinking habits.

It would appear the laughing emoji troll is busy today.

I'm guessing you mean the midnight to 11 in the morning. Yep it's just BS. Go shopping at Big C at 8, 9 or 10 o'clock for example and alcohol cannot be purchased. Good to get the shopping done when it's not too hot and not too many people but NOOOOOOOO you cannot buy alcohol. Pure insanity.

Agree but if you want to buy a beer at 10:30 in the morning from 711 or go to a 711 to buy a beer at 2:00 pm you can't.

Let's see. 2 pm-5 pm and midnight-11:00 am. Yep 3 hrs. Being fair though everytime there is some chatter on this the hours of 12:00 am-11:00 am is never mentioned. The reality is there is only 10 hrs of alcohol sales a day when it comes to this extremely anachronistic law.

Alas it's Saturday. Brain's a bit foggy. Thank you though for your pedanticism.

Corrupt from the very top. Every Thai person knows this. Every Thai also knows that the elites are beyond legal consequences.

Chat GPT decided creature. The sentence is just rediculuos. On a mountain in Thailand, a “highly venomous” creature moved through the darkened forest.

Look back at what I posted. The US Embassy assisted them getting to Israel along with the Israeli Embassy. I did not say the US was "behind this". This is in the media. Look it up for yourself.

Of course in Thailand oppostion party means any party who is opposed to the elite not the party who did not win the election which is normally the case. We now know that any party opposed to the elite dictatorship will remain in oppostion no matter what % of the population votes for them. Gain 75% of the popular vote and you will not be the govt. You will be the opposition.

Someone found this comment funny. HaHa emoji poster would you care to explain why this is funny or are you just an emoji troll? You know who you are. Anonymizing helps the trolls and is a negative move.

Much more behind this than we are being told. US was involved in getting them out safely. Russia applied pressure to get them back. This had nothing to do about working without a work permit.

This is possibly the most puerile article, and I say article in the very loosest terms, that I've ever seen on here. We are talking about democracy, corruption and the dictatorship of the elite. This rubbish appears to be written by an infantile AI program. Should never see the light of day this complete and utter rubbish and should be deleted from this forum.

Kangaroo court?

Power comes from the top. The very top.

The so-called constitution was written to protect the powers of the elite.

I agree but ones is plural. I think if we go singular we find who is really in power and directing everything. The only thing this will achieve is increase the disaffection against that power.

I don't like them but the missus and kid do. Never feel full and I always get a gut's ache the next day. Having said this some are better than others but the prices have gone through the roof. Used to be bt99 per person (10yrs ago?) ago and that included grilled prawns and icecream.

Dung beetles serve a very usefull existence. Maybe perpetual reincarnation as the dung itself.
