The maddest thing is although bars (cough cough) I mean restaurants can sell alcohol now, it still has to be in a paper cup or coffee mug ! how on earth did these police (Keystone Cops) find out he was serving alcohol after 10pm when they didn't know for the previous month when it was illegal!

Guess because either they didn't get there back hander or else they attempted to extort even more money and the owner wouldn't pay up.

Go to UK, US, Australia or New Zealand and see what happens when the police catch you violating the liquor licensing act. Guarantee the fine is far, far greater than this instance. 

The cynical barflys on this forum will find a reason to criticize anything that deprives them of their beloved ethanol-based beverages. 

When in reality, replacing grog with a lemon and ginger tea, for example, would probably do wonders for their brewers droop

Death penalty written all over it.

Or....resurrect the very unofficial Covert Disappearance Act.

I believe the time is ripe for a real and greater collected revolution - at least a grand and unified General Strike.

Sorry! This is on me. I was headed to an orgy that some Hi-So folks invited me to. I needed to wash down a knock off cialis that I bought from a street vendor and asked for a sip of Singha.

This headline should read 'ANOTHER MAJOR CRIME STOPPED IN THAILAND"  and include pictures of the officers with confiscated beer bottles and with the bar owner seated with his face obscured.    

How ludicrous that this is even "news"
