Opinion: "cons" outweigh the "pros"

🔗 Thailand bans afternoon drinking, imposes hefty fines

Opinion:"cons" outweigh the "pros" 

1️⃣ on my mind is the large number of vehicle accidents and injuries related to alcohol. Cancer also can have its beginnings with light alcoholic consumption according to recent reports floating around

2️⃣  The relationship of alcohol and tourism results in multi-billion TAX revenue 

3️⃣  The government cost of "universal coverage scheme," (free medical services) has increased tremendously since its enactment 

Of greater concern to Thai tourism is local competition, especially recently rediscovered Vietnam. Cambodia border tensions have eased but have not been settled. Recent scam center events are also a tourism detriment

Hotels and resorts with a license to sell booze any time most likely will benefit.

Bars and nightclubs most likely will have a "LAST CALL"

mix of dirty air, high humidity, high temperatures cause for increase of pimples

With a little help from dust and air pollution, sweat, and body oils, high humidity creates a breeding ground for acne causing bacteria.

If you sweat it's a good idea to use a clean wet cloth on your face and neck a few times during the day.

The word which appears frequently in tropical climates applies here: HYDRATE.  It can work against you creating more sweat and may require more face washing
