it is a SIN , thats what Samarn Futrakul, head of the Alcohol Control Board and the chief author of the act says, .........

......Samarn is a deeply conservative Buddhist and high-profile prohibitionist. He has helped write drafts of a number of laws and regulations aimed to restrict the availability of alcoholic beverage, including the 2008 Alcohol Control Act........

Stop all Sins in Thailand .....

Find it quite amusing that a person gets prosecuted for putting a pic of a bottle of beer on their Facebook page but if that same person was to ride a motorbike on busy pavement nothing would happen to them.

Busy pavement? Heck, wrong way in traffic or amongst food stalls on a sidewalk.

Chang ought to deliver a dozen cases of their beer to Samarn as a gift and tip the international press to cover it.

I was thinking of another brand that refreshes parts other beers do not reach, I.E. above the neck...

This means " goodbye Chiang Mai FC " sponsored by Shinga beer.

You think so ? Who you think is this, and do you think they do anything against the law?

What's next ?

6 month suspended sentence plus a 2000 baht fine, no promoting sea food... !!

There should be a law against creatures eating creatures in public places. Hehe

I'm not into beers with animal names that's why I stick to premium suds.

Just think if there is a beer brand called Mia Noi Beer. That's a beer you wouldn't want to pose with. Not only could you face prosecution but divorce too.

This will never happen , just another silly proposal by an official who wants to move up the ranks.

Just like prostitution is illegal , but everyone knows about it . Drugs are illegal , but people get high every day. etc etc

I'll bet you didn't know that text in the same law diverts alcohol tax money to anti-alcohol groups.

Can they get absolutely more idiotic?

It seem's so.a new load of <deleted> every day.

Mind you this site is getting just as bad

Sounds like the advertising campaign for Chang Classic is working well - it has been carefully promoted by the BIB and the alcohol control board everyday for a week or more - in everyone's face - well done, without it most people wouldn't even have noticed the rebranding campaign.

yes and Chang has recently recruited a new marketing firm......Thailand police 5555
