Lawyer Decha clarifies legal aspects regarding the 'Lisa' alcohol consumption controversy on a foreign program
It has become a widely discussed topic online following criticism regarding 'Lisa' Lalisa Manobal, a world-renowned Thai artist, appearing on a foreign program while consuming an alcoholic beverage. This has led to questions among fans and the general public as to whether such an action constitutes a violation of Thai law.
Recently, renowned lawyer Decha Kittiwittayanan provided a legal perspective to clarify the matter, stating that Lisa's actions in this case are not considered a violation of Thai law. This is because the incident took place abroad, which falls under the jurisdiction and laws of that specific country, not Thailand.
Lawyer Decha further explained that Thailand's Alcoholic Beverage Control Act has a scope of enforcement limited only to within the Kingdom. Therefore, an artist participating in a program abroad and complying with the regulations or culture of that country cannot be judged by Thai law.
Furthermore, the legal expert urged the public to exercise discretion when consuming information, especially regarding the interpretation of potentially complex laws, to prevent misunderstandings that could affect others in society.
In summary, this controversy is merely a misunderstanding regarding the scope of legal enforcement. Events that occur abroad must naturally be governed by the laws of that country. Understanding this principle will help society gain a correct perspective and reduce conflict online.
