-Following the ban on alcohol sales in Bangkok effective as of yesterday, City Hall officials have inspected shops and venues, all of which were found to be complying with the regulation.
The Deputy Governor of Bangkok Sakoltee Phattiyakul has accompanied officials from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and city law enforcement officers to inspect certain venues in Chatuchak district, following the announcement of an alcohol sales ban.
The team inspected areas around Central Lad Phrao shopping mall and around Major Ratchayothin cineplex. Shops inside the shopping malls were found to be complying well with the regulation, with no one found to be illegally selling alcoholic drinks.
