Jaxxper Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think in reality the mass produced beer and craft beers are at different ends of the market spectrum. I don’t think it will impact the big breweries to any major degree. Just my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonclark Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I'm more confused by the statement " the problems arising from liberal marijuana use" In the 5 months since marijuana was liberalized the sky hasn't fallen in on Thai society and its appears to be exactly the same as before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant have policies that are popular from other parties. Add to that the high chance that brewers have bought people off and then we get this. 200new ganja places in Pattata.

Walker88 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 You have to appreciate Prayut's honesty. Other world leaders pretend they give a hoot about their citizens, and a few might actually care. Prayut has no pretense. He couldn't care less about anyone who doesn't fill his coffers. Boon Rawd and Thai Bev likely keep him in silk, so he does their bidding, the people be damned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannabis is helping refill the coffers of the property class. All of the ma&pa shops, Family Marts, etc., shut down because of Covid are now Cannabis Dispensaries. From 100 meters down Soi 4 to a similar distance down Soi 8 in BKK, there are now 10 shops selling weed. That's 10 recently empty properties now pulling in rent again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their issue is nothing to with concerns about uncontrolled product, it's to protect the interests of their supporters at Boon Rawd and ThaiBev.

Guderian Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Payback for his mates in ThaiBev and Boon Rawd for the billions they "voluntarily" donated to his Covid recovery fund back in June 2020 to allow the sale of alcohol to resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perryjr2 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Of course this current administration would try and block this bill. They serve their donors and do not want to rock the boat...meanwhile stimming the potential competition and giving the people an opportunity to expand small businesses as well as the opportunity to taste something good for a change.

robertson468 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This ruling by the Thai Government comes as no surprise to many, but is very sad for the Nation. What they are implying is that because of their incompetance they are unable to regulate the brewing of beer, the Government is worried that some Craft Beers could make people ill due to this lack of regulation. This reflects very badly on the Governments ability to regulate issues and as many others have said, leaves considerable doubt in many people's minds, why they have refused to allow Craft Beer Brewing. The Public should be allowed choices, but sadly are so, so suppressed they dare not raise what would be constructive objection against this rule, thereby expanding the choices of this industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe after all these years Thailand has not got its act together with producing different quality beers.

spidermike007 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Perhaps they would be less resistant to craft beer, if there was high quality beer already available here. Since the major brewers make garbage, they have alot to be weary of, and have to continue their corrupt ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geisha Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Why would a legal brewery with all the correct controls and a licence be illegal and dangerous ? what does craft beer have to do with Marijuana and the loss of control. ? who allowed the production and sale of marijuana in the first place ????( laugh emoji). why is prostitution everywhere and yet craft beer illegal ? why don’t the government travel to first world countries and see how normal trade is done , and how normal people live ?
