PHUKET: Shops and other vendors of alcohol and tobacco are to be targeted by a new campaign initiated by the Phuket Alcohol Beverage and Tobacco Control board.

 

Specifically to be targetted are vendors selling alcohol “near communities and “places education”.

 

The new campaign was announced at a meeting held at the Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) in Phuket Town yesterday (Mar 28), and led by Phuket Vice Governor Thawornwat Kongkaew.

With all these wise officials in this country coming up with so many brilliant ideas and mind blowing campaigns on a daily base, I feel so humble, I wanna cry.

If you are selling alcohol or cigarettes without a licence you should be fined.

No need for all this hoo haa

Discourse at the meeting resolved that that licenses to sell alcohol should be limited number in residential communities.

“Licenses have been issued to many shops, so people can access alcohol very easily,” V/Gov Thawornwat noted.

 

And what difference will that make? If Somchai's shop doesn't sell alcohol they'll buy it in Noi's shop down the street or the 7-Eleven.

So if I was a school kid looking for a drink I would walk down the road to the nearest available.

And there is always a member of the RTP involved as the photo shows, just keeping an eye on business. No money moves without a little going their way.
