Thailand has introduced eight new regulations governing the sale and consumption of alcohol in public areas, transport facilities and government spaces, with the updated rules taking immediate effect after publication in the Royal Gazette, as reported by Bangkok Post. The measures revise parts of Thailand’s alcohol control framework first introduced in 2008, with authorities saying the changes are intended to better reflect current conditions and public use of shared spaces.
The updated rules prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages on roads, inside vehicles and in vehicles parked on roads.
