How about Fining them instead of just mask 

In Australia where I live nobody,nobody wears a mask apart from Asian people and guess

what the first one died in Australia was Asian.

Not from the street rag that does not want to be quoted here.

So show me factual, verified and peer reviewed research that proves you do have immunity if recovered...........

I went to the supermarket today nobody worn a face mask of course

Asians, the government and doctors tell you not to wear one and our

infection rate goes down. Why is that? Sorry I did not mention I live in OZ.

Going out for no essential reason is pure selfishness..oh and the argument about catching it only harms yourself is BS, that then makes you a carrier hence infecting others and also a drain on already over stretched health services..Stay the f#@@ home...that's it, what's so hard to understand...fine them, lock them up, make an example...sooner people are sensible, sooner we get back to normality

Actually the sooner people start acting normal the sooner Corona goes away...

B farangs again ????

I counted 2 farang and far more Thais on the beach area.

 

They should be photographed along with their ID cards and fined very heavily for the first offence. The fine tripled for the 2nd offence and given the option of a jail sentence or working at the hospitals to support the medical staff. If they opt to work and don't turn up the sling them in jail with double the sentence. Treat Thais and farangs equally.

Because people don't do social distancing...I'm hunkered down for three weeks already but occasionally have to shop for food...dread it, idiots can't get close enough when there is a whole shop to stand in...I've had three confrontations already telling people to get the f away from me....

 Not all of us lives in fear and lets life live them. The world shutting down for a virus is bat<deleted> crazy. Each and every death around the world is a family tragedy...NOT international news or even newsworthy at all. There are plenty more likely causes of death each and every year that no one ever even gives a thought. 

 

The outcome of shutting down Planet Earth may well prove way more damaging than losing a fraction of one percentage point of the global population. 

There is no place for this kind of solid logical thinking during a hysteria...

It doesn't apply to me. Typical Thai mindset - . 

In the picture it looks like Harry, the brick layer with his would be prostititue bride. Tom (Truck Driver), Dick (plumber) ,and Harry are creating havoc in Pattaya by flaunting all containment orders. But Thai people are waking up and you can see their rage in Facebook groups. But I don't blame the trio as they are suffering from Dunning Krugger syndrome.

I know we all.must follow the law and all that but i would assume if people stay 2 meters apart and swim then the beach is fsr less risky that a shopping center or a street wirh walls and rails and doors and air con which carrg the virus

 

Just what i reckon

I think these are Russian folk - many do not speak one word of English- so many the message has not gone out. 
Another reason is that  the Russians love the sun and beach - most of us stay out of the sun these days . 

By the looks of the pictures it's typical pattaya residents hanging in front of mikes mall. Sitting with hookers, drinking for days on end. 

Perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the virus culled the herd. 

Sad thing to say, but oh so true!

They have been sitting around there for many years and it is their life. Not doing anybody any harm but things have changed.

I've been practising social distancing for years, would cross the road to avoid passing by another white guy.

Look the other way when near a foreigner in the supermarket, etc., etc.

Me too, but it's not only the "white guys"...it's everyone! The downside is that leaving a social gap 'tween me and the person in front allows those not understanding "personal space" (which seems most everyone ) the opportunity to cut in the queue. I always vocally admonish and give them the thumb to the back of the line...unless, of course, they provide me a pleasing view! ???? 

we all look pretty stupid wearing these masks, but stupid doesn't even come close when u are pictured as a farang sitting on the beach with a can of beer in ur hand.

I'm surprised he hasn't made an opening in his mask for the straw.

I hear that the Thai Friendly app's new nick name is now "pussy to your door."  ????

They are the last men standing, fighting for our freedom and democracy.
With a beer in their hand and a mask.  

Seems the last men standing finally got the message. Was deserted when I passed by Mike yesterday.

 

Soi Bua Khao however has seen a increase of coconuts lately. Only out to by food from the food carts, of course.

Looks like curtains for the Coconut Bar.

what's the Coconut Bar?

Giving them warnings isn't going to work . They should follow other countries by imposing a 3000 baht (about 100 USD) fine each time.

 

Then we will see the number of beach-goers dropping.

It's the beach promenade where young; and not so young; ladies wait to find an escort for the evening, or just an hour if you're in a hurry. They number into the hundreds at busy times.

The message should be CLEAR by now.

 

●No swimming.

●No walk on the sand.

●No walk on sidewalk beach side of the road.

 

People should only walk on the narrow walkway next to the closed stores and hotels. But why do it, when all is closed except 7Eleven.

 

●Area is currently deserted for people, mostly only BIB and municipal police, volunteers.

I have heard about that, and no doubt serious people are looking into it, but it could be for some unusual reason.

If one is able to be re infected normally, the only option, IMO, will be to forget lockdowns and let the chips fall. No way any economy will survive if in lockdown till a vaccine is available in 12 to 18 months time.

That's the craziest thing I heard. There isn't room on them to stay 2 or even 1 meter apart from others. Conversely, on the walkway there is plenty of room to avoid others.

Many other beaches are also closed. They attempt to reduce number of infected people. Ignore it and possibly face severe consequences.

 

Don't shoot the messenger.
