No smoking? Now Hua Hin police get tough with beach booze ban

Just when it was expected that signage would begin to go up to ban smoking on Hua Hin’s beach comes an altogether different directive.

A sign has gone up near the Centara Hotel forbidding the drinking or distribution (sale) of alcohol.

The sign that Thaivisa believes went up on Monday is ‘signed’ by the Prajuab Khirikhan provincial police.

No mention is made of any fines – or jail terms – for breaking the no drinking rule.

Smoking has been banned on twenty Thai beaches including the long coastline in Hua Hin from November 1st.

A jail term of one year or a 100,000 baht fine has been mentioned for violators.
