The kids will just have to mail their orders in to get their booze.

I was wondering about call-in ordering... Pick up the phone, tell them what you want, they tally the order and give you a price, then send it out for delivery and payment...  Just like they would with an online order.

 

They could even do the payment via bank card over the phone, but probably don't want to entrust the phone answering staff with writing down and process telephone bank card charges.

 

if the shop gives you his mobile phone number and has prompt pay enabled, that's enough to transfer the money

What is it with these idiots and alcohol?

I don't really rink anymore so no self-interest here, but this is ludicrous.

Thailand needs a Monopoly Commission set up, just to make sure they have no monopoly 

In Thailand a Monopoly Commission would make sure there are monopolies.

"Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday (September 8 ) scotched rumours of a coup d’etat, telling the press they were pure nonsense."

 

However, it did not keep him from crushing on-line sales.  Seems he must have scotched it all up wonder if it was Glenlivet

 

Not such a bad idea. Except nothing works in Thailand. During the booze ban village shops were still selling alcohol. I even saw a policeman buying whisky. Too much drinking going on in general. Creates huge social problems. Just go to a shop and buy your poison. You don't need to do it online

Home brew anyone??

is there another country in the world that limit the sales to certain hours ?

 

lol

 

if you want to get drunk at home ...

Thats part of the primary issue. 

 

These ‘Bans’ (online sales, selling alcohol near schools) actually achieve nothing and circumnavigate the genuine issues with a an outrageous degree of sanctimonious hypocrisy. 

 

Those in positions of decision making power don’t care if kids get their hands on alcohol, they only care that they don’t take criticism when it happens - their naivety is glossed with their ego filled arrogance as believe a media announcement and a ‘ban’ or a ‘crack down’ takes care of these issues. 

 

The reality is the organised, above broad, legal places selling alcohol responsibly are penalised where as every other place selling whatever it wants when it wants continues in any place without an electrical sign out front or without an official 'online store’.

 

 

The response as always, knee-jerk, juvenile and ultimately continuing to enable the absolute laziness of those who should be enforcing the perfectly reasonable laws. i.e. Police being incredibly ineffective.

I think they also upped the penalties for that. It's obvious who is behind these bans.

Does that really mean that we wont be able to order online booze delivery at Big C Extra for instance ?

 

To preserve some kids, instead of drinking peacefully at home, they prefer that we go drive drunk in bars or to pick up more booze in one 7-eleven ?

Quite a few, including Finland where I come from.

 

It's idiotic there too.

Yes I laughed when I read it. Took me 7 years to get a phone line even though it stopped 2 houses down from me. Internet was always dropping and cutting out and never ever got the speeds I was paying for oh and our mobiles only worked in half the house even though we could see the mast 300m away well maybe 250m.

So I won't be able to buy alcohol online from Big C or Tesco Lotus anymore? Carrying a pack of 12 bottles of beer on a bicycle is a serious risk to my health!

And, everybody else's 

I wonder how much money wended its way from Thai Bev to the cabinet rooms to facilitate this wee bit of corruption? 

Based off effective date, how many days will you give it until people will loophole the hell out of it? (disregard peope who won't give a f one way or another, strictly speaking loophole).

It’s the fastest internet on the planet in a Thai speaking country.

And you risk braking the bottles.

 

I bought a bottle of whisky last week, and was worried that I would fall with my bicycle and break the bottle.

 

So I decided to consume the whisky before I rode home.

 

And I was correct about my suspicions.

 

Before I had reached home, I had fallen 4 times with my bicycle

“the National Alcoholic Beverage Policy Committee”

L????L well see what happens when you have a committee of alcoholics 

Do they include telephones as an electronic channel?

 

I would have thought that some enterprising person would host a website abroad with product details and prices, and give a local call centre number to contact. Even simpler would be to send SMS with your order and pay on delivery. I would like to see how they stop that.

Would e-commerce not be a good thing for Thai Bev?  They seem to have much to gain.  This government has it in for alcohol period ... not sure why.

It's coming !    I just picked up a few more bottles..... 

Boy Scouts taught me well.  "be prepared"

The supermarkets have long been fighting this and the space in those stores is leased to big booze who make a killing there. There is also deep paranoia about the rise of craft and boutique brews, which is at best absurd given the fact it's but a pinprick, and this is deemed a threat because of that.

So companies like wishbeer get wiped out? 

 

Would they not meet at the delivery? 

I guess alcohol is delivered to an address but the consumer does not have to be there to accept it in person?
