Beer girls bliver måske forbudt

Beer gardens could soon be a thing of the past

BANGKOK: -- Beer gardens may become a thing of the past if a proposal yesterday by the national subcommittee on alcohol consumption control is approved.

Besides a halt to issuing beer-garden licences, the panel set up by the Public Health Ministry proposed three other measures to control alcohol advertising in a resolution passed at its meeting.

Disease Control Department director Dr Thawat Suntrajarn, president of the subcommittee, said the measures comprised a 24-hour ban on alcohol advertisements in all media, except tie-in adverts in live broadcasts from overseas; a ban on the display of alcohol products, brands and manufacturers’ names in all media; a ban on advertising competitions organised by alcohol companies; and asking the Excise Department to stop issuing licences for beer gardens.

“We see many activities in beer gardens, such as using beer girls, that are kinds of advertisement, so if the Excise Department still allows beer gardens, those promotional activities should be forbidden,” he said.

Thawat said the resolution would be forwarded to the main committee on alcohol consumption control for approval, after which relevant parties such as Chamlong Srimuang, who is heading opposition to the stock-market listing of Thai Beverage Plc – the maker of Chang Beer – would be invited to give their opinions. If the proposal is approved, the Office of the Consumer Protection Board and the Public Relations Department will enforce the new rules, he added.

Jeff Kimble, commercial director of Thai Asia Pacific Brewery Co Ltd – the maker of Heineken beer – said it was difficult for the company to comment on the proposals now. He preferred to wait for details of the restrictions.

A source at a local brewery, who asked not to be named, lamented that the Public Health Ministry would be trying to block brewers from doing business through the new restrictions and was making it seem like alcohol firms were bad guys who are killing people.

“The aim of any controls and restrictions applied to alcoholic beverages is to reduce accidents and promote good health. But this restriction set to eliminate beer gardens is beyond that … It is going to be a campaign to score political points,” the source said.

“I would like to know the real reason why they want to place tough restrictions on our business like this. Anyway, all they have done is fail to address the cause of the problem. They would do better to keep close controls on irresponsible drinkers and revamp the taxation process,” the source said. “Why don’t they prohibit manufacturing entirely?” he said, sarcastically.

Det virker som om alt skal goeres for at skraemme saa mange turister vaek som muligt disse dage... Naeste alle jeg kender inden for turisme/bar/restaurants siger at besoegtallene er meget lavere end sidste aar (og aarene foer) nar man sammenligner samme perioder. Samtidig fortalte en ven mig lige at barer nu er aabne til kl. 0600 i Singapore (hvis de gider Wink ).

Netop retur fra Phuket og der var ledige vaerelser overalt.

Lukke kl. 0100. ingen smoeger fremme, skal slaebe passet rundt, ingen alkoholindkoeb det meste af dagen, pis-tests uden legalt grundlag osv.....

Skaal! (hvis du kan koebe en oel - he,he)

ja man kan undre sig lidt over hvad Thailand er i gang med, for alt andet lige goer det fattige mere fattige.. selvom thaksin har spaaet at der ingen fattige er i Thailand om et aar.
Mit bedste bud paa den udtalelse er at enten skal han skyde alle fattige eller give dem en stor pose penge.

Hej jesper.dk,

Du skal læse længere nede i artiklen:

“We see many activities in beer gardens, such as using beer girls, that are kinds of advertisement, so if the Excise Department still allows beer gardens, those promotional activities should be forbidden,” he said.
