Booze laws need to cover online sales and ya dong, health official says

More changes to alcohol laws are being sought by health officials.

Regulators want to amend the law to expand restrictions to online sales and ya dong, a health official said yesterday.

The existing laws on alcohol needed to be updated, as orders can be placed online for delivery, according to Saman Futrakul of the Disease Control Department.

Saman also singled out ya dong, which has no age limit to buy, despite being much more potent than beer, Bangkok Post reported.
