The message has been very clear since April 13.

 

 

Fines up to 100,000

Jail up to 1 year.

 

 

So, I can't even jog on the beach side of the road?

That is probably included under "No activities allowed"...

[holy cow cm]

So by the video it is easy to see that any Thai man who wearing a man purse or a large fanny bag is an undercover cop. Beware of those guys.

One of the best pieces of advice given to me when we had a restaurant was to take down all the silly signs outside and inside the restaurant as the more you have the less people will read them.  Just have the one showing what type of business you are.

Trust me it is true.

One foreigner didn't go quietly, said the media. He refused to leave the beach and said that he was connected to the local mafia.

Deportation

Passport Persona non grata

I hope they charge them an extra 1000 baht each for the taxi ride.

Silly old farts.

A side-walk/foot-path  is a public area, right?

Walking is an activity right?

Therefore walking on a sidewalk can land you in jail.

Why all the fuss?

 

Thailand is not the only country that applies stringent regulations.

 

In North Korea for example, if you walk in the wrong place, you also get arrested and send to prison.

so by my calculations this would equate to 14,600 baht pocketed for the BIB.

11 x 1,000 for the farangs & 12 x 300 for the Thais.

All off the books of course.

 

Not bad for a mornings work, especially during covid-19 ????

Your calculations are based on what? Maximum penalty is 1 year in prison, 100K THB or both.

And if France you need a travel document to leave your house. Thailand is probably in the middle in terms of lockdown severity compared to the rest of the world, so what's your point?

Thailand has nearly 3,000 Covid cases with 52 deaths  in 4 months- sit near the beach not allowed.

USA has over 1 milion cases with 56.800 deaths - the beaches are full again.

 

compare this the beach on the top is in California the one on the bottom in Australia

Point is, if the document is ok you're on your way. You can also take fines to courts if they are abusive and they get cancelled. In less developed places, you are more prone to abuse from unregulated corrupt police. 

[brucegoniners]

Awesome! Lock em up!

So, I can't exercise either on the beach nor on beach road? Or just can't do it in a group?

There is the main police station on Beach Road so you might be better off going elsewhere for now.

Good job. I see it with my own eyes here in Pattaya every day. Some people don't care about restrictions and laws and such people need attitude adjustments. 

Really, you were on the beach too......????

Uyet the headline only mentions foreigners. What a surprise.

Seems the brain dead fraternity were being lifted...........

Perhaps a buried beer on the beach rumor, were they equipped  with buckets and spades.....? ????

Of course not. But I have to walk on the Beach Road sometimes. One of the most impressive locations was the area opposite of Mike Shopping Mall. Many Farangs and some with their own chairs and booze and music and Thai ladies and no masks.

What a d...head the ‘mafia’ guy is ... haha ???? 

really dangerous hard men never promote the fact they are just that.

[Tropposurfer]

Perhaps it needs to be area specific ( as in high density population areas). but personally I find the no swimming rule absolute rubbish. They did this in Australia even I places where you can swim n surf hundred metres from the next person ! Ridiculous edict.

[nonwanfai]

Repatriate them back to their home countries!!

is this an anti-foreigner website? - why not post about the Thai's on the beach as well? 

Maybe Thais are more disciplined?
