Some foreigners still out drinking on the beach - Thais less than complimentary

Some foreigners still out drinking on the beach - Thais less than complimentary

Picture: FB Tessakit

 

The local authority or "tessakit" page on Facebook featured a brief story about tourists being out in a group congregating and drinking on the beach. 

 

They were advised to go back to their hotels. 

 

One foreigner seemed to be breaking the curfew walking along Beach Road.

Several highly uncomplimentary posts went with the pictures - one suggested taking a stick to the miscreants and another called for their arrest. 

 

The message from people was clear - play by the rules or face trouble.

Big fines for all caught no slap on the hand .

I'm in the Rayong area and our beach is all taped off. You always have a few Thais hanging around. But when I see 2 foreigners laid out on the beach I have to ask myself what selfishness is this especially when we are in a stay at home crusade. 

[kevin612]

It happens, some people are not disciplined. It is just like Thai people didn’t want to quarantine when they arrived at the bkk airport.

[Toany]

Maybe they felt they needed thas after spending all day at immigration where social distancing is not available.

[smedly]

and from the photo - what about the 3 Thais seen clearly across the road 

 

Tunnel vision and a general growing hate for farangs and some Thais thinking the rules don't apply to them

[scubascuba3]

Fine them but don't blame the rest of us

[tomazbodner]

You look at this and start to understand why Australia is kicking all the foreigners out. What I'd like to know whether they were fined 40,000 baht and jailed for 2 years?

Why is it acceptable for the Thais and not the foreigners?

It does say 'seemed' to be breaking the curfew so maybe the time is not clear? I was under the assumption the story was more about being on the beach when there is a ban on being on the beach

[jimmjam]

Probably making the most of it before they can go home and never return.????

I never used the word acceptable and you know the answer to your question.

Excuse me, I misinterpreted your post. Seemed you focused on the foreigners.

This year there has NOT been more deads in the western countries than previous years. Right?! So this whole virus thing is all fake! It's just a flu and weak persons die from it but not more than in recent years.....prove me wrong please.

In recent years, were ice-rinks converted to morgues and new hospitals built with extreme haste?

[outsider]

It does not matter whether they are locals, tourists or expats. Selfish and recalcitrant trash like these are all over the world, not just in Thailand. Idiots like these make it more difficult for the rest of us who are trying to comply, cooperate and get rid of the pandemic soonest possible. No excuses should be entertained, no sympathies should be given. The authorities should just throw the book at them.

Well maybe if everybody broke the rules they would have to cancel the whole thing..

[smedly]

I do not approve of this - rules have been made we all need to follow them including Thais 

 

but

 

Thais again with tunnel vision - there are Thais in the photo presumed with the farangs - no mention of them ?

[ezzra]

Will probably see many more article like this one dealing with hard headed selfish idiots on both sides of the divide, so save your condemnations for later...

I think one of the problems is that when farangs see Thais on the beach they think it is ok - Jomtien yesterday had thais and farangs on the beach - this is the problem when civil rules don't apply to everyone equally i.e Thais and foreigners 

[dsf9]

Not sure shaming people is the way to go here.. but I'll save my reasoning for another post

Sir the Thais never break any rules.....Its only those no good dirty non mask wearing farang scofflaws that are breaking the rules....

They are built in area's (wuhan and italy) were there's high pollution which weakened the locals there....

 

In the other EU countries there have not been more deads than in recent years...mind though that the population there is getting older than ever and old people are also weaker against a flu.

[jak2002003]

Maybe I should take a quick drive around my village and take a few photos all off the Thai people breaking the rules, then all us farangs can be 'outrages' and made nasty comments of social media for the Thai people to see...…….see how they like it.

 

Example of yesterday..

 

Small noodle and Som Tam shop open and many THAI people all sitting together inside eating, no face masks, no social distancing, no hand wash.

 

At the 7/11 store.  I was paying for my goods at the checkout, then Thai woman and teenage daughter push up next to me, ignoring social distancing, pilling up all their shopping on the counter in front of me (as they were too lazy to get a basket).  No face masks, no staff or anyone said a word to them.

 

At the market, food vendors closed for the evening, all drinking beer out of cans, with music playing and socialising together, laughing and patting each other on the back, face masks around their necks.

 

Down my street the many Thai neighbours having family parties outside, cooking, eating and drinking.  All sees acceptable until they start walking out of their properties and going into each other houses and gardens to chat and let their children play with other kids.  Take food to each others houses and all the groups mingling together.  Face masks around their necks or not wearing any.

 

I could go on.  

[Surelynot]

We need to stop distinguishing between Thai, non-Thai, farang etc. There are only two groups in this type of situation...........1. Selfish, ignorant morons and 2. 0thers.

[EVENKEEL]

I understand that foreigners have a different standard from Thais. I kind of have to give some Thais a pass for not following the stay at home rule considering they may share a small room with several people.

 

I'm about ready to bust out and head for a nice desolate beach for a few hours.

I can only guess that these people who sit on the beach  have seen the Thai street markets, namely the big street market on Soi Siam country club, as busy as ever, as of 7th April,  and think they can  group together too....with many not wearing masks,          So dont blame only the foreigners....

Dogs have to suffer two weeks quarantine when entering. Given current situation why not people, Very Selfish.

And London. 

But you seem to have taken the 'non sequitur' route.
