Intoxicated tourist detained after Pattaya restaurant altercation
Looking at the video the allegedly intoxicated was on a public street and announced he was on his way home. Then the idiot owner ? left his shop and confronted him, trying to show him who was the boss man. If the idiot owner had stayed in his shop, shut his mouth, and not come out on the street to confront him, the outcome may have been very different. -

New Alcohol Control Bill Nearly Finalised; Set for December House Vote
FILE photo courtesy: MGR online The Alcoholic Beverage Control Bill is nearing completion and could be put before Thailand's parliament by mid-December. Leading the review, Mr Wisarn Techathirawat, head of the special scrutinising committee, stated the bill is now 80% complete. Born out of five distinct drafts, the proposal underwent a demanding eight-month integration process. The five preliminary drafts, originally submitted by various entities including the government, the Pheu Thai Party, and public health advocates, had unique approaches to alcohol control. However, the committee has successfully amalgamated their key points into a single draft, currently 70–80% realised. Central to the new legislation is the devolution of power to local provincial alcohol control committees. This move aims to empower these bodies with the authority to determine zoning areas and establish tailored regulations. Discussions around the draft were held during a national conference on alcohol. Mr Wisarn remarked that alcohol prevention among youth remains a focal point. As such, representatives from youth councils are set to join provincial committees. This ensures young voices influence pivotal decisions on alcohol zoning and sales restrictions. The timeline is tight. By December 11, the bill should be ready for inclusion in the House of Representatives’ draft agenda. The new parliamentary season begins December 13, providing a narrow window for initial review. Mr Wisarn hopes parliament will prioritise this legislation. One of the bill's principal aims is to tackle Thailand’s increasing trend in alcohol consumption, especially among women. Control of alcohol sales promotions is covered extensively, with the law envisaged to curb related societal issues like health risks and road accidents. The legislation introduces strict penalties for selling alcohol to minors or visibly drunk persons, alongside empowering provincial committees with localised authority. Such provisions promise to fundamentally alter how alcohol is regulated, fitting concerns of public health with practical governance adjustments, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-19 -
