4MyEgo Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) You can't educate the stupid. Was wondering why they were releasing people early from prison, could be that it's to make way for these clowns ?

Matzzon Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Oh! It´s same again. As I clearly remember there were many posters that stated the curfew was enough and that it would not be many breaking it. ???? So, 7 000? Nah, someone will say that it´s not much compared to close to 70 million people. However, it´s 7 000 too many. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko kok prong Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Doubt they will get anything like the promised punishment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 nothing new, many thais refuse to obey any other laws especialy the road laws so why would this be any different, they simply do as they please and will continue to do so. They know the police will do nothing to them or they will be able to buy their way out of it as per usual, that is if the police even go out of their air conditioned offices let alone even bother to get up to go and look during the hours involved 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheGround Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 What I would really like to know is, how many foreigners among those 7000 people? Less than 5% I would guess. Thai press should have included this. I would forward that list to the anti foreigner fb website in Phuket. Time to get their facts straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The down-turn in daily traffic will mean the cops will be looking for new revenue streams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
