stubuzz Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have just been into my local 7-11 that is 50m away from the front gate of Rajapat University and it is still selling alcohol. What happened to the new law? Has anybody seen any evidence of enforcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadee Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thailand isn't exactly renowned for stringent law enforcement. Prostitution was made illegal in Thailand in 1960, what happened to that law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have seen it in action, but it is enforced 100%. One restaurant I know was forced to stop selling alcohol yet 2 or 3 others (and a seven eleven) that are nearer to the school still openly sell alcohol.

Matej Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Money and profit cause next to nothing law enforcement in this country, laws like this one are just a formality nothing more. As jadee said, prostitution is illegal in Thailand for 55 years, but it's still national sport number one ... Everywhere money talks, but in Thailand money shouts.

Rocceao Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I met an guy a few years back who had an interesting story to tell from his piont of view. He met a Lady in Pattaya and after a short romance she took him to her home town, when in town he decided to go for a walk dressed only in his shorts no shirt and drinking a long neck bottle of beer Chang, as he was walking he decided to walk past the local primary school as all the kids where going home. Soon after this he was approached by a police man who explained to him that some parents have complained about him and that he should get dressed and drink his beer at home as this is a small town and not pattaya. When he told me this story he was so upset, that he had been reported and approached by the cops and told to go home to clean up his act. I then asked him what would happen to you in your country if you walked past the local primary school half naked while drinking a bottle of beer? His response was" oh thats different" Is it? Thanks for taking the time to read my post Edited November 28, 2015 by Rocceao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
