webfact Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 All The Beer Gardens Have Been Declared Illegal – Again By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Image: Chang World / Facebook BANGKOK — A top alcohol regulator said Monday his agency is suing the popular open-air beer gardens at CentralWorld Plaza for violating advertising laws. The legal action won’t stop there, said Alcohol Control Board director Nipon Chinanonwait, who threatened to crack down on similar events nationwide on the grounds that they entice the public to drink. A trade guild denied Nipon’s allegation.

watcharacters Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The government could sure make a lot of 500,000 baht fines by walking down Pattaya's walking street and citing every bar with lady barkers outside the bar. "Section 32 of a 2008 law that bans attempts to “encourage” drinking". Another misguided fiasco by this government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 There is no alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or sex in Thailand. I know this because I have seen their TV shows and all of those things are blurry. The people have grown up not knowing what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordblackader Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm not sure what they're talking about. People go to bars and beer gardens to drink Chang and Leo mineral water, we know this because the evidence is in the current TV ads from both :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 What else they are doing than showing the logo or theme of each brewery at the beer gardens. They not even advertise about the prices for beer etc...If they are that strict what about any other advertising or sponsoring from brewery companies. I think there are much more urgent problems for the anti alcohol minister than some temporary beer garden. How about the amounts of hard alcohol and cheap lao khao that are consumed every day. He should better take care of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 who creates these various agencies who are a total waste of time and money. Money and effort that could be spent on worthwhile cause like road safety and combatting corruption time for these useless agencies to be dismantled, in any developed country they are nothing more than crackpot voluntary activists who don't know how to enjoy themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask the owners of Singha or Chang, those are the logos of their bottled waters, not their beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZZPA Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Nothing makes sense in Thailand when it comes to ridiculous laws and outrageous punishments for minor offences.

Why on earth would Chang and Leo spend millions of baht a year on advertising their soda water if people didn't buy it? They must sell a hell of a lot of soda water to recover their expenses.

thenewgoo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 "This is because the form of beer gardens is event marketing. Because, let me ask you, who would open beer gardens without a purpose?”.....“We have to take it step by step,” he said. Strange logic - wouldn't all bars therefore be doing the same thing? Is that the master-plan - ban all bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
