Bang Saen: Police move in to discourage people congregating at the beach

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported that the police and the local authority moved to stop people congregating at Won Napha and Bang Saen beaches in Chonburi amid fears that it would encourage the spread of the coronavirus. 

 

Social media was awash with negative comments on Saturday night after pictures showed crowds on mats close together at the beach. 

 

Last night the Saensuk police, protection agencies and municipal staff set up a checkpoint and urged people not to gather there. 

 

Sanook said that what few people there were were sitting well apart on Sunday. 

 

Traders in the area complained that their businesses were going down the pan. 

 

One female trader called Jae-pew, 55, said she might have to turn to loan sharks to pay her rent and children's tuition fees. 

 

She called on the authorities to tell traders about bans in advance so they can plan accordingly. 

 

As it was, things are just getting worse and worse for traders reported the media.

After the search of human intelligence in Mor Chit early last night was a total disgrace. Another attempt was made to restore the belief in humanity, by expanding the search to include Bang Saen Beach. Unfortunately we saw exactly the same irresponsible behaviour, and are now starting to believe that the virus outbreak is also affecting and altering the human mind and brain. At present time there is little information, but the research will continue in hope of finding human intelligence. We will keep you updated.

All those people in the photo are young and most likely healthy enough not to be getting sick when infected. The problem is they have no concept or ability to comprehend they will pass it on to elderly people/immune challenged people .

A virtually  non existent education system and the 'mai phen rai' culture has well and truly met its match.

Sydney had to close off Bondi beach because of the thousands packed upon the sand.

As quote by a leading doctor:

He said that prior to this month Thailand was only affected by a milder strain of the virus. But now the strain that has devastated Italy and overwhelmed medical services there has arrived in Thailand.

Hence the sudden surge in numbers starting from the boxing match where the "super spreader" infected many people after being infected himself after contact from a friend returning from Italy.

In your bed for the next month is possibly your best option.

I've only been to Bang Saen three times and found it to be a pretty lawless place with tearaways racing up & down the main drag at all hours.  I never saw one policeman tho' I only went at weekends when Thai police don't work all over the country.
