webfact Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thai boozy party at McDonald’s goes viral (PHOTOS) By Coconuts Bangkok Photo: Social Hunter/ Facebook RATCHABURI: -- Photos of Thais partying and drinking at a McDonald’s in Ratchaburi, a province west of Bangkok, have made national headlines today and drawn criticism from the Thai realm of Facebook. The photos, posted by the party people themselves, shows a group of three Thai men and one woman, drinking cheap lao khao (rice liquor) with soda while binging on McDonald’s fried chicken and fries. The poster later shut down his Facebook after the party post was shared and slammed by netizens. In response, McDonald’s told their version of the story, confirming that they do not sell any type of alcohol and forbid customers from bringing alcoholic beverages onto the premises of the restaurant.

smutcakes Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 A bit naughty but hardly something to get outraged about. A lot more civilized compared to what some see at home on a daily basis. Glasses, ice, soft drinks, food, sharing and socializing. Could be a lot worse. The onus is on McDonalds to request they leave if they are breaking their rules. I dont think i have ever seen a sign at mcdonalds saying no byo liquor. Probably because few in their right mind would consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 In the States, several Burger King and Taco Bell stores have obtained liquor licenses and are serving alcohol. This shows the pettiness of the Thai "netizen" community. Maybe Thai society would be better if Prayuth had his way and was able to shut down Facebook.

Agree, but in today's world, are children all that naive? Maybe certain western nations are more falsely conservative then others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Lao Khao? No, that half full bottle of amber liquid looks more like SangSom. Anyway, nice to know that McDonalds does not allow the consumption of alcohol on their premises. Someone needs to inform the manager of that location though.

Thechook Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Try doing it at McDonald's in Australia and you would be turfed out quicker than you can blink. Restaurants need a liquor licence for alcohol to be consumed on premises and they don't have and will never be granted one, even a BYO licence. The franchisee would be facing enormous fines and probably shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because few in their right mind would consider it. If my memory is correct, the company did in fact allow alcohol to be served in some of their branches, I think in the UK. But I am confused here. McDonalds say that they forbid people bringing alcohol onto the premises, but here we clearly have them being allowed to do it. A normal case in Thailand then of making rules and then totally ignoring them and no-one does anything at all about it. Which is why Thais always break the rules, because they can.
