Was there ever a chance for legal amendment to the law that woud allow small breweries to retail in competition with the bigger ones? Yesterday saw the bill go before the house of representatives and fail to be approved by JUST 3 votes, saw the worries of the few mega brewers here allayed. The cabinet had approved the amendment seeing some think that it was an auto win but others commenting that brewing has been the privilege of just a handful of powerful companies for a long time here. Moving forward, the party proposing the amendment plans to continue to push for free competition but chances are it Won't be up for another vote anytime soon, as elections are expected early next year in Thailand.
