Justgrazing prolly thinks tourists come and stay in a locked room and online order booze online delivered to the room. Seriously this new "law" will affect very few (if any) non Thai's..... and yet here we are 6 pages deep with farangs arguing the toss and nitpicking points that don't exist.

So if i go to another province to buy unavailable beer in my province, not only would I need a special license but a work visa for a job not allowed by me.

Popular Post Kalasin Jo Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 Slowly, slowly, step by step, little by little, those puritans with a strangle hold on power and control in Thailand are taking the country backwards not forwards.. This is going to destroy overnight the small suppliers that specialise in quality imported wine for online sale. Almost the only way to get your hands on a decent ( and of course ridiculously expensive ) bottle of wine outside Bangkok, has been on line or in high end restaurants which are non existent in the provinces. Now we are denied even that costly pleasure at home and it's back to in store Thai " fruit" wines or low end Australian and similar plonk, still of itself expensive, if an import, for what you get. Of course if you only want to get off your head, and that's all the young and not so young Thais want, there are still plenty of cheap Thai spirits available in bulk in the big stores, and by the bottle in the village mom and pop shops..but even that has to be lugged home not delivered to your doorstep... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to run out of it before you buy it. Part of the fun is chatting with your Falang friends, discussing where we have purchased alcohol ,whether it be in city or village, some great buys if you look around. Also great to experiment with producing your own wine, some very interesting results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps all online services should be banned and the disabled could be locked away in institutions where paid staff can do everything to organise their lives! As this new law seems to be an idiot attempt to stop underage drinking what's to stop a 17 yo getting someone older to do their shopping chores?

From many who never buy booze online anyway but love to complain. Very easy to get booze in Thailand, they sell it at the thousands of supermarkets, the tens of thousands 7/11s and Family Marts, in thousands of service stations, tens of thousands local shops, in thousands of bars and pubs, in thousands of restaurants, in thousands of resorts. Calm down. We will be ok. That’s where they sell the cr**. If you want quality those above don’t carry it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they will all be shut down nationwide next month then? cmon wake up... do you really think its about age? do you beleive all you read?

DJ54 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Belonged to a couple of wine clubs US and they send two bottles a month to your residence. Their has to be someone min 21 years old to accept delivery... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaibill Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Silly, really. Not much of a boozer, myself, but why not just require proper ID at delivery? Simple, and less likely to drive yet another element of the Thai economy out of business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
