Yong anti-alcohol campaigners call on the management of Bai Yok (ใบหยก) Tower in Bangkok to remove a large alcohol advertisement billboard from the building.

They alleged the tower violated a cabinet resolution banning alcohol advertisements within a 500-metre radius from any education institution.

The billboard allegedly is only 283 metres away from Sri Ayutthaya (ศรีอยุธยา) School, they said, adding they supported the Public Health Ministry’s ban on alcohol advertisements in all media.

I have to say I find it an odd ad. On the one hand it is advertising an alcoholic bevvy and then underneath don't drink and drive

It actually says:

"Drink don't Drive"

i.e. it's advocating that imbibing is more pleasurable than driving.
