Thais invited to partake in anti-alcohol campaign during 3-month Lent

And to think, people actually move here with the understanding that Thailand isn't a Nanny state.......................

Edit: I know that the address is towards the Thais and not the visitor, but the visitor, long or short term, will be affected at the end of the day.

Fine, if they want to stop the Thais from drinking. Just don't force it onto the rest of us non-Thais.

It actually isn't fine if they stop the Thais either. It should be a matter of free choice.

Start by taxing alcohol based on alcohol percentage, not based on price.

And since I am not a Buddhist and don't drink to get drunk, I will continue having a glass of (overprived) wine with my dinner. Na!
