Chiang Rai to Trial Policy Allowing Afternoon Alcohol Sales
What happened
The government is testing a policy that allows the sale of alcohol between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. in Chiang Rai. This change, which follows strict enforcement of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, is being trialed for six months, pending a permanent decision. The trial begins with a 15-day public consultation period, after which the new rule could take effect in early December.
