Alcohol ban for trains is a good idea

In past letters I have complained about those horrible, obnoxious drunks who get on the train and are so disruptive that it’s impossible to get a minute of sleep. Even worse the people who work for the Thai State Railway – possibly the most incompetent, dangerous and unprofessional train system in the world – who continuously serve those drunks large bottles of beer, thus showing total lack of regard for other passengers.

I drink beer myself. But I believe an overnight train ride should be a pleasant, wholesome experience and children should not be exposed to low-life bums who can’t sit on a train for a few hours without getting drunk.
