BANGKOK, 9th October 2018 (NNT) - The Alcohol Control Committee has urged each province to form a provincial alcohol control committee before this coming New Year. 

The Public Health Minister, Dr. Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn, said the Alcohol Control Committee had a meeting on Monday (Oct ???? to follow up on its plan to set up the provincial alcohol committees nationwide. So far, 42 provinces have already appointed such committees. 

Dr. Piyasakol has urged the remaining provinces to form them before the New Year to accommodate the implementation of safety measures during the holidays. 

He said the safety measures focus on strict law enforcement at provincial, district, subdistrict, and community levels to reduce injuries and deaths from road accidents caused by drink-driving during the New Year festival.

The solution to everything in Thailand.........a committee. In this case 1 big committee and 42 sub-committees.

Committees in Thailand are designed to carry on for years without every reaching a decision. And if by some mischance they do make a decision no single person can be blamed if the decision happens to be the wrong one.

Why don't they try sprinkling road users with fairy dust to reduce road accidents, worth a try, everything else has failed big time!

You miss a key point, perhaps THE key point;

 

Committees have honourariums and expense accounts...

An urge ,followed by a nudge followed by an appointment, ending in a ''Probe''...then repeat....I get dizzy reading thai news somedays...

And at the inaugural meeting of all these new alcohol control committees they will celebrate their selection by having a party with free booze ????

Jobs for the boys. More self-elected, important men in uniforms to discuss from a great distance what to do about drink driving instead of looking at what other countries do to good effect. Talk about top heavy government!

Waste of time & money when they allow millions of 7/11s to have licences  to sell alcohol.

And they are still looking for more outlets.

They really have no desire to control alcohol properly as long as they all make money.

eg: The non licenced bars that spring up about 11pm on Sukhumvit that sell all night without any toilets.

3 or 4 sois I nearly vomit with the smell of shit & piss

In Indonesia they banned all convenience stores from selling as became just too convenient. 7/11 bailed out.
