====Thailand==== Alcohol sales are prohibited during [[Elections in Thailand|elections]] from 18:00 the day prior to voting, until the end of the day of voting itself. Alcohol is also prohibited on major [[Public holidays in Thailand|Buddhist holy days]], and sometimes on royal commemoration days, such as birthdays.<ref>{{cite web |title=Thailand Public Holidays 2020 |url=https://pattayasanook.com/thai-culture/thailand-holidays/ |website=Pattaya Sanook |access-date=24 December 2020 |archive-date=21 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321200027/https://pattayasanook.com/thai-culture/thailand-holidays/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Thailand also enforces time-limited bans on alcohol on a daily basis. Alcohol can only be legally purchased in stores or restaurants between 11:00–14:00 and 17:00–midnight. The law is enforced by all major retailers (most notably 7-Eleven) and restaurants, but is frequently ignored by the smaller "mom and pop" stores. Hotels and resorts are exempt from the rules. The consumption of alcohol is also banned at any time within 200 meters of a filling station (where sale of alcohol is also illegal), schools, temples or hospitals as well as on board any type of road vehicle regardless of whether it is being consumed by the driver or passenger. At certain times of the year—Thai New Year ([[Songkran]]) is an example—the government may also enforce arbitrary bans on the sale and consumption of alcohol in specific public areas where large scale festivities are due to take place and large crowds are expected. Thailand strictly regulates alcohol advertising, as specified in the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, B.E. 2551 (2008) (ABCA).<ref>{{cite web |title=Regulations on Advertisement of Alcoholic Beverages |url=https://www.ilct.co.th/regulations-on-advertisement-of-alcoholic-beverages/ |website=ILCT, Ltd. |date=23 July 2020 |access-date=24 December 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, B.E. 2551 (2008) |url=http://web.krisdika.go.th/data/outsitedata/outsite21/file/ALCOHOLIC_BEVERAGE_CONTROL_ACT,_B.E._2551_(2008).pdf |website=Royal Gazette |access-date=24 December 2020 |format=Unofficial translation |date=6 February 2008}}</ref> Sales of alcohol via "electronic channels" (internet) are prohibited.<ref>{{cite news |title=Thailand bans online sales of alcohol |url=https://www.nst.com.my/world/region/2020/09/623127/thailand-bans-online-sales-alcohol |access-date=24 December 2020 |work=New Straits Times |date=9 September 2020}}</ref>
