Thai Health Minister Blocks 24-Hour Hotel Alcohol Sales, Reviews Rail Plan
Years back I stayed in many hotels / many cities / many countries while travelling for work. In those days some hotels would say that beer cans / bottles that they had put in the mini-fridge were marked/stamped/coded whatever. If I wanted to drink I would take all the beer cans out of the hotel mini-fridge and hide them in my suitcase, and fill the mini-fridge with cans brought in secretly from 7/11. All easy. Then at an appropriate time (before daily cleaning / re-stocking) remove the 7/11 beer into my suitcase and return the hotel beer to the mini fridge. Easy and quick. -

Parliament is expected to prioritize this public health-focused legislation in the December session. -
