StoneSoup Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Looking at http://www.lawreform.go.th/lawreform/images/th/content/en/484/c484_3.pdf - specifically at Section 30 (3) and Section 32 - it would appear that any bar featuring a "happy hour" discount, or displaying any signs with brewery/distillery logo, combined with image of a bottle - is liable to big penalties. This provides an instant "shakedown" license to any cop shop in need of some quick cash. SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
