"After the meeting, the Deputy Minister of Public Health, Sathit Pitutecha, and Prof. Dr. Sally Casswell, the head of the international alcohol control assessment team, jointly announced Thailand’s outstanding success in controling alcohol consumption in the country, saying Thailand can be used as a good example for other countries in Asia."

 

Where is this "joint announcement?"

 

...or was it made in Thai, after Dr. Sally boarded her flight?

As she sat back in Business or 1st quaffing the free Champagne ????

This panel does not know much about Thailand.  Maybe on paper but I see consumption in extremes at every Thai event, weddings,funerals, Monk making etc.

Downing loa kow at 6 am before cutting the grass all day.

What a mouthful of a job description... One of those cushy jobs where you get paid  a bundle with all the benefits just for putting out useless information... I'd like to have this kind of job, How do you get a job like that?...

First, you have to be Thai.

Unbelievable and what rubbish! Did the assessment panel take into consideration the many hundreds, if not thousands, of illicit Lao Khao distilleries hidden away throughout the Country? Of course not! A plastic bag containing around half a liter of Lao Khao retails about 20 baht here.

They were particularly impressed with the alcohol sales ban between 2 and 5 PM. Alcoholics, now being thwarted during these hours, amazingly sobered up and switched to Pepsi. Rumor has it that, this restriction has been such a success, that beginning in February, alcohol sales will be restricted to between midnight and 2 AM.
