The 5th Sin

Much like in the US, Thailand requires advertisers to place public health warnings inside ads for alcoholic beverages - such as "Don't drink and drive", "Drink responsibly", "Can cause liver cancer", etc...

But the other day I found one that took it too the next level - literally.

Above the Guinness ad it says: "Deum Su-ra, Phit Sin Ko 5"

Which translates as - "Drinking is the 5th sin", referring to the Buddhist 5th commandment. In other words, if you drink this beer, you'll go to Hell.

But that's play school compared to the warnings they place on cigarettes. See below:

They should have public health warnings for simply looking at boxes of cigarettes:

"Warning: looking at this box will make you vomit."
