Thailand to remove alcohol, tobacco from FTA
-NNT 2010-08-02

BANGKOK (NNT) -- The Ministry of Commerce is revising frameworks of all Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) made with trading partners in order to remove alcoholic drinks and tobacco from the Inclusion List (IL) in a bid to prevent the flow of “vice” products into Thailand.

As detailed by Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Ponlaboot, the Ministry is considering a possibility of excluding alcoholic drinks and tobacco from the IL frameworks which are awaiting negotiations such as the Thailand-EU FTA. The move is to protect the health of Thai consumers.

As for FTAs which have been implemented, the Department of Trade Negotiations has been tasked with revising the tax privileges. Thailand has nine FTAs giving tariff reduction privileges to alcoholic drinks and tobacco products. Five of them have been enjoying 0% tariff since 2010.

The five FTAs are ASEAN FTA, Thailand-Australia FTA, Thailand-New Zealand FTA, ASEAN-China FTA, and ASEAN-Republic of Korea FTA.

I never tried Beer Lao but I like singha beer but my favorite drink is good wine.
there is a good wine I used to buy in big c, its BIG bottle and cost less than 1000 baht.
I think its a good bargain considering the other options are or too low and quality is also same or too expensive for my budget so I always buy this wine.
I have seen this wine also in some bars selling the wine in glasses only.  bananadance
