Been told that carrying plastic bags with food in is now illegal???

[WineOh]

Was told by a policeman outside my local lotus this morning that It is illegal to have bags for my groceries. I said they are still giving them out so I took two and he said I could get fined 100,000 baht or maximum imprisonment for 1 year. the cop spoke good english and was waiting for an icecream at the DQ counter.

what the???? is this for real? I knew that they had started to slowly stop issuing bags to be threatened wiht a fine and prison?

seems a bit far fetched to me, but you never know, TIT.

Are you serious !! 

 

Did you laugh at him ?? If not, go back and laugh at him right now.. 

Take a selfie while you laugh at him too 

[CharlieH]

You can face execution for murder too, doesnt mean its going to happen.

Long way between "can" and "will". ????

 

Probably just messing with you.

Yes, it is illegal....but only for farangs with instant on the spot mandatory payment of fine........ (with no receipt, as handing out paper is also not ecologically sustainable).  ????????

[userabcd]

Do not think it is illegal.

 

Often times I have been shopping recently and keep forgetting to take a bag with me. I have purchased 6 reusable carry bags now and there is no way I am buying anymore of those things.

 

Now I just go off to the meat or vegetable section and take some of those quality clear plastic bags and when checking out my groceries, put my groceries in those clear plastic bags to carry my groceries home.

I waiting for the farang to lose his 800,000, all assets frozen, and deported for getting arrested for having a plastic bag that had food in it at one time.   lol

 

what would you do?  nothing.

 

since nothing is the correct answer, you retire somewhere else.

Did you remind the ****wit that riding in the back of a pickup and riding a mocy without a helmet is also illegal and where has that gone. These people are beyond stupid!

Is that why he didn't cuff you and throw you in the slammer?

I hope you gave him the raspberry.

[holy cow cm]

Should have told him it is as illegal as someone pleasuring your momma and your wife, but doesn't stop them from doing it.

[MikeN]

Remind him that spreading fake news is illegal.....of course it is legal to have plastic bags, with or without food in them. There is a voluntary agreement by the biggest retailers not to give out free "single use" bags at the checkout but you will still get your fresh meat etc in them.

[Nyezhov]

I wonder if  they will start doing cavity searches for bags. I havent had a good probing since the green dudettes (I hope) from Epsilon Auridane IV were by to check on human evolution (they chose me as an advanced model).

 

Aliens aside, I have a cloth bag in my pocket and I aint paying no $$$

[tifino]

ask the cop what he did with the icecream's plastic wrapper?

I am moving this topic to the forum "Jokes - puzzles and riddles - make my day!", where it belongs.

the people who believe the cop is serious are the not so bright ones.

[samuttodd]

if you outlaw bags, then only outlaws will have bags

[Suddenplans]

April 1st, possession of a plastic bag could be a life sentence.

You one of them guys who believe the moon is made of green cheese? next time ask him does he like sex and travel
