bushmill Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 All are talking about "schools" and universities may I have a misunderstanding. I thought it's Tertiary schools, Universties and Vocational Schools. That mean many 7/11 can still selling alcohol and no ban in the villages. Right ?

jaywalker Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Have they borrowed Spiderman's spidey powers or something? I was thinking they had "The Force" behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Stupid law, only making a mockery of the existing laws and even more, the police. There are students drinking all over Bangkok every day and night. If the sellers of alcohol were forced to ask for ID for everyone that looks remotely around their 15 to 25 age group and then if selling liquor have fines which mean something like 100,000 baht and 3 months jail and suspension of trading license for 5 years, then they might?? get somewhere. Also more frequent police presence where under age drinkers tend to congregate. Probably have to triple the police force though. I just bought a 12-pack of beer in Georgia not an hour ago. The cashier's register sings out a merry song of "Hey! Check that ID" whenever I buy tobacco or booze. In some places here the cash register won't work if they don't punch in a date of birth on the above items. ------------ I had a crazy old friend that lived in a shack & used to shoot cockroaches with a .45 pistol. This "Law" reminds me of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark131v Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It is really good to see in Thailand with its multitude of serious problems and failings that the great leader and his sidekicks are focusing their efforts on the big issues of youth drinking and road racing.....

eeworldwide Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 How about offering alternative entertainment. Youth centers, sports and rec centers, community centers, skate bowls etc. Nothing. Community and social awareness does not go beyond the Wat. It is bureaucratic negligence that this occurs. The powers that be, DO NOT CARE. They have no social conscience, and simply have no experience or concern in the betterment of the community. /RANT That would take too much real EFFORT my dear. It would require proper planning and worst of all - it would create jobs, and cause the government to spend money. How terribly unrealistic and foolish of you to dream up such an impractical notion. Why not think of a plan/idea that would show how much the country CARES for it's newer generations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 To prevent street racing, ban any car with more than 30 hp as measured by government testing centers. This creates a new revenue stream (inspection fee), employs hundreds (manning the testing centers and beauracracy) and keep fast cars off the road, making for less traffic too. win, win win.
