RE: Thailand makes an alcohol oopsie! Then immediately reverses it

in #politics5 years ago

Enjoying this post over a nice cod Leo, after a challenging afternoon cutting down the thorny pomegranate tree that was a casualty of yesterday's freak summer storm. If ever a girl deserved a Leo, it is me, today. 🍺

I find this whole Thai government prudish thing about alcohol - especially for women - really hard to handle. A working ladyboy all glammed up can walk into the local minimart and buy 5 packs of jumbo condoms, a bottle of saengsom and 2 packs of fags, and she gets not a second look and her shopping plonked in a clear plastic bag. I walk in for 1 bottle of Leo on a Friday afternoon and there are hushed tones and my bottle comes wrapped in old newspaper. for modesty. 🤣 wtf??!!

The whole moral police thing about alcohol needs some open, public, adult discussion.
