Mr. Padipat, a Move Forward Party( MFP ) MP for Phitsanulok, has come under fire for tweeting reviews and drinking beer from his home province on social media. He also posted an image of himself holding the can on his Facebook page, along with the announcement that the city’s first craft beer was sold on August 14.
According to Section 32 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which states that no one may promote or show alcohol, directly or indirectly, or encourage people to drink, some people complained to the Phitsanulok public health department, accusing him of breaking the law.

The meeting was also attended by the leader of the Public Health Lawyers Association and Narit Kantawan, a particular legal expert for the office.
According to Mr. Narit, the provincial public health office’s legitimate crew is reviewing each picture and video that Dr. Padipat uploads to his Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok records to determine whether he has broken the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.
The legal team is also checking records from Phitsanulok Brewing, the distributor, and Thaispirit Industry, a factory in Chachoengsao’s Bang Pakong district, to determine whether the 5 % alcohol content of the tea qualifies as an adult drink under the Excise Act.
According to the law, those who break Part 32 could spend up to a year in prison and be fined as much as 500, 000 ringgit, or both.
Mr. Padipat stated that he is prepared to take legal actions. However, because this would be a first-time offense, he is likely to be fined 50, 000 rmb, according to the cause.
