No alcohol ban, but should we be happy?



First the smoking ban, now the alcohol ban. Okay, let's be honest, the smoking ban is a joke; most bars don't provide ashtrays but empty bottles. Even in agogos you can smoke, as long as you use the empty redbull bottles as an ashtray and as long there is no police, officially...

OK, relief! The alcohol ban during religious holidays has been scrapped, the reason is obvious. Tourism has been hurt already enough, but I'm worried a little bit about the fact that more than 80% was PRO ban. Some day, this alcohol ban will be back.

I'm still positive about life in Thailand, but don't they understand?
Every new stupid rule like this -almost- non alcohol ban, might move some tourists from Thailand to other countries like Cambodia where individual freedom is still untouched.

Thailand supports the poor Cambodians, now that's lovely...:-)
