Of course they were advertising beer , or was it just a coincidence tht just after the ban on beer advertising , Chang bought out a new water product and began a campaign to advertise water in the same colours and style of the beer adverts ?

Somebody must've peed in the water on the billboard, it's all yellow. Thai "perfection".

If people really are upset about this situation, vote with your wallet and go patronize the restaurant.

Such nonsense. By an administration that is so misled. And instead of real policy, what do we end up with? 

 

An utter and complete unwillingness to tackle the scams, and corruption in general, or the traffic and public safety issues, the lack of a competent and effective police force, that foreigners and locals can count on, when they need them.

 

The environmental issues, and so many other causes, are all having an impact on tourism.

The inept military government, who nobody likes, and most people despise, haphazard and xenophobic immigration policy, meant to deter tourism, and ex-pats, rather than encourage them, racist ranting from the government, often directed at tourists and ex-pats and a nonsensical nationalistic agenda, that is pure politics.

 

As always, 100% total sense from spidermike007, I propose you for PM of this land! Is there a Thai equivalent of you? A force for good for sure. When will this country realise that there is a better way.

 

If promoting alcohol consumption is so unlawful then surely the sale of the product should be banned. Everyday I see many sitting drinking at street corners, pavements, beaches, restaurants and bars.

Thank you for your kindness. I would have no interest, even if the opportunity were handed to me! National leadership only attracts the lowest of the low, worldwide these days. We see all too many examples of that. The days of nobility are behind us.

This law is very strange I think I know that restaurant in cnx.In a side st where mostly chinese stay in a hotel next door.Not a Place where lots of tourist will gather except to eat sushi.From what i see advertising any kind of beer or spirits is a no no.just like the freebies they used to give you if u owned the bar.this happens in cm and it seems every other big city seems to get away with it.In bkk they put out signs and then what is on offer everywhere,but not there.I could never understand , a bar sells spirits and beers and never allowed to put out a sign telling you the price or what brand.Along with ash trays or glasses.these days are gone  also the the promo nights and bar girls  from chang or singa are all gone.shame this happens in cnx

I do like it when you list all my pet hates, Mike. It saves me having to do it.

 

Don Mega, you are way out of your depth or just trolling... whatever.

You are just an spiteful old codger.
The section 32 law makes about as much sense as not allowing Thai Craft Beer to be made in Thailand.  These are Small Business's that could bring in tax revenue.  This is not allowed due to the large beverage company monopolies not wanting any competition.  Now the large beverage companies put out their own Craft Beer and put on labels looking like "western" names.  Is this great marketing too after they have killed any and all small business competition?

I went to this place without thinking about this situation (it was close to where I was) and the food was dreadful. Every dish was unpalatable. The place was not very clean and very cluttered. I would give this place 1 out of 5 stars.
