Anyone can shed some light on why Thailand has such a problem with alcohol?!

I think I can.

As Thailand is a Buddhist country and has a solid conservative core, many older Thais view drinking as a sin.

Hence why, since the ultra right-wing conservative army stole power in 2014, there has been a war waged on the alcohol industry via heavy taxation and regulation.

Ultimately the junta would love to do away with drinking all together, though they know that it is practically impossible so they opt for the next best thing - milk as much money from the sale of booze as they can whilst simultaneously being actively seen trying to discourage the promotion of alcohol to appease their right wing core constituents.

just another day in cloud cuckoo land.

Where murderers & drug smugglers have their fingers firmly on the button.

What an absolute laughing stock this country is.

They'll get a ten year visa thrown in. Those plans are in the discussion phase.

and they probably won't ever get passed the discussion phase...

Maybe they will reach the 'let's have a good laugh about this' phase around the lawmakers table, but that is only a maybe!

What is happening to Thailand? 

It's been going downhill since the ultra right wing army stole power in 2014 from a democratically elected government.

Sadly, all societies that have to endure such an atrocity ultimately end up going the same route.

The only way Thailand can save itself now is by a mass uprising of it's people.

But judging by the average persons attitude in the street, this may be some way off yet.

The Phuket Cesspit is a nonstarter.

Nobody is and ever will be interested in a ridiculous scheme such as this.

how will they advertise this back in the UK at your local travel agents?

Holiday in Phuket whilst wearing a police tag.
your movements will be tracked by Thai officials day and night

No wine or beer with your meal and definitely no clubbing.

Walking around is allowed providing you wear your mask or face a 20,000 baht fine.

terms and conditions subject to change without any prior warning.

hardly appetizing is it????

Visitors to Phuket under the ‘Phuket Sandbox’ scheme will be required to wear a wristband that will track their location, officials confirmed on Tuesday.

 

The GPS enabled wristband will be able to inform the authorities of the exact location of each tourist on the island.

That's it!

The final nail in the coffin for the Phuket Sandpit.

They will be lucky if they reach double figures when they open with draconian measures such as these.

Nobody said the minions were coming? ????

Exactly what is open in Phuket ????

 

Come 1st July - 14 days / 3 Covid-19 RT PCR tests

 

Restaurants open?, will visitors allowed to have a beer? beach? massage? bars?

 

Will there be any life at all ??

As far as I know all pubs and entertainment venues will remain shut throughout July.

And it's water with your meal as far as I can tell.

Who would want to fly 7,000 miles for that??

Lets have it right .

There is nothing even remotely 'Amazing' about Phuket.
