rasmus5150 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think it's awesome that they finally start to give some huge fines. Normally those 500thb fines, and a slap of the hand clearly doesn't work. Keep writing those tickets, until people learn.....

Parsve Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is the time guys. Step 1. Ask a women for a date at say 8 pm. It will be sheap as no restaurants open. Step 2. 9.30 pm or what time is suitable, tell her that you will escort her to her home so she get there safely. Step 3. When at her home, say something like, Oh, I forget the curfew. No chance for me to get home in time. I have to stay at your place over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some just don't get the message! But then again time keeping was never a Thais strong point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremiumLane Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Damn, you lot can't help swooping in on every story for your little 'I think Thais are...' circle jerk Only 2 days of curfew and out the millions who live here only around 300 going to court, not exactly everyone breaking the curfew, is it? Yes, they shouldn't be breaking it, but the 'Thais are...' because of the action of some it getting boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhood Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I just passed a daily market outside of Pattaya city! I think the word "distance" doesn't exist in thai language and behaviour. Just before a huge group of workers at a construction site in Pattaya gathered together, probably to wait for their transport. And sure they stay on distance if minimum 1 meter! So that actions are mostly good for nothing as people are not educared to problems like a virus can be given to others. And i LOVE the faily faced statistics of infections and mortality.

There's plenty money to be made for them, just look on lazada how many fake brand name items are sold, loads of it....and all have a vendor who is registered so it's easy to go get him/her....

Morty T Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 19,312 (Thai) - were out legitimately or were warned. 308 (Farang) will get to court. Nothing unusual here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also don't wear mouthmasks and don't keep distance... We need exercise to stay healthy, mentally as well as physically. Stay a safe distance from others and in the open air you should be fine. Locking people up indefinitely will do harm than good - and create health problems for the future. Edited April 7, 2020 by Krataiboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
