A step in the right direction to defang those monopolies ...

THAI LOWER HOUSE PASSES HISTORIC COMMUNITY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE BILL
In a landmark decision, the Thai House of Representatives unanimously approved the Community Alcoholic Beverage Bill, marking a significant shift in Thailand’s beverage production landscape. The bill passed with 415 votes in favor, no opposition, and 5 abstentions.

The legislation, jointly proposed by the Pheu Thai Party under the name “Community Alcoholic Beverage” and the Thai Sang Thai Party as “United Thai Alcoholic Beverage,” aims to democratize the industry by allowing small-scale producers to legally manufacture and possess equipment for both distilled spirits and beer production.

Though I doubt we'll see prices for imported whisky or wine reduced at any time soon.

They can make it, but not advertise or promote it. Maybe bottle water as well? Image
