Pattaya beaches: Police out with drones and loudspeakers ensuring the beaches remain shut

The Pattaya Covid-19 page on Facebook featured a story about a Thai disaster mitigation foundation working with Pattaya police to keep the beaches free of people during the pandemic. 

 

Several pictures showed drones being deployed on the beaches of the resort.

Fitted with loudspeakers it appeared that the drones were helping to ensure that people were obeying the signs erected after the beach bans were announced. 

 

The story said that people were obeying the rules about congregating on the beach.

This morning around 6.45am i saw a police pickup stop outside the beach road police station with a few farangs in the back, looked like they'd been picked up for either drinking in a group or on the beach

Surely there is enough police in that photo to ensure regulations are adhered to, when kind people are donating food to the needy, rather than send them home hungry ?

Or, maybe, playing with their new toys (drones) is more important !

From May 1, people hope some restrictions will be lifted. Access to beach and alcohol ban (not neccessary in that order) are expected by most.

 

Done my best to Stay Home, but boredom and weight gain due to lack of exercise are now obvious.

If the low number of new infected are for real, will some restrictions be lifted?

May 1 we will know.

Do the drones speak better Engrish than the Old Bill otherwise there might be a lot of mai-kow-jai'ing going on ..

How many Thai Police does it take to operate a drone?

 

How many to change a light bulb.

 

How many to arrange food donations?

Ha Anything to avoid manual labour...I watched as 4 sat in their truck trying to shame a crowd away pleading over the loudspeaker and flashing their lights..no way in hell were those lazy cops walking over to talk to the crowd....

No. Copying Derbyshire police https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-52055201

 

Looks more like Daft Punk making a new video.

 

Was that 2 metres or 2 centimetres?

Quote from an earlier press article:-

 

"Manager said there were about 20 stranded foreign tourists on a several kilometer stretch of Samui's "most beautiful beach".

 

They were all observing social distancing and some were swimming"

 

If people can go the beach in Samui, why not in Pattaya???  

Just more boys with silly toys. If Pattaya doesn't commit suicide it sure won't be through lack of trying.

Pattaya Plod is staffed 100% with drones.

The photo shows 9 of them at work!

The same i keep asking, if people can go shopping in  crowded street markets In East pattaya in particular,  then why can't people go to restaurants etc.?

I would guess they speak better english than Tom (truck driver), Dick (plumber), and Harry (brick layer).
