Recommended Posts

I think there is too much damage done because of alcohol ( not a theory. Real life examples every single day, on the roads, homes, everywhere and anywhere...). But, prohibition won't work. If someone wants to drink until kingdom comes, he or she will. Point.

What is this obsession with alcohol sales ?

To try stop underage drinking, but as usual they can't figure it out. Instead of targeting those selling the alcohol to underage customers, with say a B100,000 fine, a year in jail or both they just close it down.

As though this hasn't always been permitted?! Do any hotels come and empty the minibars at midnight and refill them again at 11am?

Expand  

Has been permitted. Now to be enforced ?

No denying the price gouging on mini bar contents might explain that !

Who cares. Anyone with a modicum of nous will head off to the local 711 fill up their bags with a lot cheaper booze and bring it on back.

Usual complete idiocy. Drink driving is ALWAYS a problem. As is speeding, inconsiderate drivers, inattentive drivers (phones), not wearing helmets, not wearing seatbelts, only using to the rear view mirror to see how wonderful your looking, kids crawling all over the car, multiple people on motorcycles, police not doing their job etc. etc. etc.

What you have listed are trivial societal issues.   Drinking in your hotel room before 11am or after 2pm and before 5pm.  Now that is serious and so many people are - well not dying but unhappy or unhealthy or ??? - and this issue which is at the heart of all problems in Thailand needs the focus of the entire government.   Drop everything and get behind something or someone or somewhere!!!!!!

Well at least the kids won't be killing each other at 3 am with their dumb booze and steroid rage fests in the streets.

 

Now if something could only be done about the pot shops.

Ridiculous. The biggest drug problem in Thailand is ya-ba. Able to be purchased any day all day and very cheap.

For the upcoming New Year celebrations, hotels in Thailand will allow guests to order alcoholic drinks to their rooms from in-house bars and restaurants at any time, thanks to a temporary rule change approved by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.

I drink alcohol, and I stay in hotels, but I have never, ever ordered room service alcohol from any hotel restaurant or bar, and I don't know anyone who has...

Do kids not have ID cards - with photographs on them? Or maybe I should say "Does someone who is old enough to purchase alcohol not have an ID card..............?

Mr. Somsak revealed that the State Railway of Thailand proposed selling alcoholic drinks in first and second-class sleeper cars, dining cars, and private charter services. However, the committee did not approve this proposal in its current form.

Good. Last thing needed is drunks on a train.
