Thailand Relaxes Alcohol Laws, Sparking Public Safety Concerns

Thailand has relaxed its alcohol laws as of 13 May, easing licensing rules to support small brewers and boost economic growth, particularly in rural areas. The move is expected to help local craft producers expand and compete internationally. However, the Alcohol Watch Network has voiced strong concerns, warning that easier access could lead to more alcohol-related deaths, traffic accidents, and public health costs. With Thailand already reporting one of Asia’s highest road death rates, critics urge the government to monitor the impact closely and ensure safety measures keep pace with economic liberalisation.
