Guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I still think it's a hoot that the bars where you are tucked away hidden inside have to close, but the sidewalk bars stretching along a good section of Sukhumvit stay open to daybreak for all the world to see.

jxxxl Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 That's the hilarity of policy making in Thailand. They make a policy to increase social order and get the opposite affect. Sukhumvit at night looks like Sodom and Gomorrah and nobody seems to care. Go figure. This country is in such a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebee Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 More bad news, including no booze on Sundays: Public Health Ministry plans to remove alcoholic beverage from retail display shelves BANGKOK: -- Buoyed by its success in removing cigarettes from sight in shop windows and shelves, the Ministry of Public Health has set itself a new mission to do the same for alcoholic beverages. Dr. Narong Sahamethapat, deputy director-general of the ministry's Disease Control Department announced that the department, following the successful campaign on cigarette visibility, will now focus on completing the drafting--and then enforcing--laws to clear alcoholic drinks off retail shelves. A draft law to control the consumption of alcoholic drinks has just been completed, Dr. Narong explained, and the process of public hearings for inputs into the draft is expected to be complete by the end of next year. According to Dr. Narong, the main thrust of the bill is to ban advertisements for alcoholic drinks on television and radio, and to extend the hours during which alcohol ads cannot be broadcast from the current blackout period of 5am to 10pm. A set of related legal measures will be enforced under the law to restrict children's access to alcoholic drinks, banning sales near schools, temples and petrol stations. Once in force, the law will also ban trading of alcoholic drinks during public holidays and Sundays. Dr. Narong said that imposing controls on alcohol sales, advertising and consumption constitutes a more formidable task than banning cigarette sales in retail outlets. Among the factors at play includes the fact that there are many players in this financially lucrative sector, the majority of whom are Thai. More importantly, the public health official said, about 20 million Thais consume alcoholic beverages on a regular basis, compared to 10 million smokers. This task therefore requires massive commitment from all sections of the society, he said. --TNA 2005-11-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Scrutinizer Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Eyebee, Yeah, read that this morning. Simple bastards. Yet call girls stand on the streets in front of their bars calling out to every guy walking by, whether he's with his wife or lady or not. Social order my ass! Kids can't see ciggies and booze in a shop, but can see prostitution daily all around them. These guys are royally fucked in the head! :D :rotfl: How's things in the city of sin? Any suggestions for a New Year's hotel down there where you don't have to pay for the party in the hotel if you aren't going to go to it? Have to call the Siam Sawasdee and see what they are doing. Maybe see you there then? Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 And to add insult to injury, here's a clip from todays BBC news concerning developments in UK licensing. 'New licensing laws which allow pubs to apply for 24-hour drinking in some areas come into force at midnight.' Apparently, the teacher shortage in UK has ended and the price of property in Britain's seaside 'retirement' towns has soared. Statistics show that the number of visa applications from Thai brides wishing to enter the UK is also up sharply. Groundbreaking comedy sketch show 'Little Britain' is leading the way. Singha to be brewed in Newcastle under license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
