Report Thailand Tightens Alcohol Sales: New Rules Take Effect
Caption: Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World In a significant update to alcohol regulations, Thailand has announced new sales restrictions starting today, affecting bars, restaurants, and travelers nationwide. According to an official announcement by the Royal Gazette dated June 26, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra issued new rules on alcohol sales. These changes update the 2015 regulations to better suit current conditions, based on recommendations from the National Alcoholic Beverage Policy Committee. Effective June 27, sales will only be allowed during specific hours: from 11am to 2pm, and from 5pm to midnight. This applies throughout the country, but with the following exceptions: Airports: Alcohol sales are permitted in airport buildings servicing international passengers. Service Establishments: Businesses can sell alcohol during their legal operating hours. Hotels: Sales are allowed under the rules set by the Hotel Act. Reasons for the Change These new regulations aim to more effectively manage alcohol consumption while accommodating the needs of key sectors such as tourism and hospitality. By allowing sales in airports and hotels, the policy supports international visitors and business operations. Businesses will need to adjust, particularly local bars and restaurants, which comprise a significant part of Thailand’s vibrant nightlife. The goal is to strike a balance between curbing excessive drinking and supporting the hospitality industry. Impact on Travelers and Businesses Visitors to Thailand should be aware of these time restrictions and exceptions when planning their activities. Businesses, especially those outside of the exception categories, must adapt to the new sales windows. Overall, this move represents a controlled approach to alcohol regulation, aiming for a healthier social environment without hindering tourism and business. Stay informed about these changes to enjoy your Thailand experience smoothly under the new rules. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-06-27 -

No True Move Wallet for Foreigners?
Don't use any of the so-called wallets as I've never had the need. Use a credit card for hotels and hospitals and some restaurants as the price is the same and no extra cc fees. I've never seen anywhere that won't take cash. Used a bank transfer with a QR code a few times. As far as I'm concerned, the less apps that have my financial info the better. -
