https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/ge ... ur-tourismBANGKOK: Thailand's cabinet has approved a tax cut on alcoholic beverages and entertainment venues to boost tourism, a government spokesperson said on Tuesday (Jan 2).
Taxes on wine will be reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per cent and on spirits from 10 per cent to zero, Chai Wacharonke told reporters, adding that excise tax on entertainment venues will be halved from 10 per cent to 5 per cent.
The tax measures will expire at the end of this year, he said.
The announcement comes after authorities in November extended opening hours for entertainment venues by two hours to 4am for nighttime revellers and tourists.

You'd think that would be the FIRST thing they'd do to boost tourism, lol. That's always been a pain in the ass there.

Re: Thailand approves tax cuts on booze and night clubs to boost tourism
That's welcome news, but it has to be asked why is wine then so ridiculously expensive in Thailand ?Taxes on wine will be reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per cent and on spirits from 10 per cent to zero, Chai Wacharonke told reporters,
Presumably it's the import duties ?

Re: Thailand approves tax cuts on booze and night clubs to boost tourism
yea, its a bitch, but still u can drink in bars and restaurants ,so how will being able to buy it 24/7 increase tourism?General Mackevili wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 1:02 pmYou'd think that would be the FIRST thing they'd do to boost tourism, lol. That's always been a pain in the ass there.
It’s an old law from the Thai government.
It’s illegal for all shops to sell alcohol in the afternoons, only 11 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to midnight
And nobody knows why. The only thing for sure is the shop owners are strict about the rules.
just another thai quirk>>>
and still 28 million arrivals arent finding it something to get overaly concerned about

Probably in the same way that making beverages a mere 5% cheaper will increase tourism, lol.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 1:45 pm
