Chalerm plans to ban sale of alcohol beverage on public holidays

Public Health Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung Thursday unveiled his plan to ban the sale of alcohol beverage on public holidays.

Chalerm said he had assigned the Disease Control Department to consider invoking the Alcohol Beverage Control Act to issue a directive to ban the sale on public holidays, such as New Year Day, Songkran holidays and religious holidays.

The Nation

I´m sure the tourists will be happy. They pay 4,000-7,000 Baht for their compulsory New Year´s Gala Dinner and then they will be told, "Sorry no beer or wine with your meal but enjoy your khao phat." Songkran without alcohol, how on earth will they enforce that? What is the use of getting new tourist cards when they are driving all the tourists away?

They will probably decide that New Years day starts at midnight on the 31st, now won’t that be a fun night; home to bed after the fireworks!
