Because this is essentially a foreigner forum.

It's a pity the police aren't as keen to enforce the existing traffic laws.  They would save many more lives if they were.

 

April road fatalities are a fraction of normal, with some days into low single figures.

This isn't about whether rules make sense or not. They show no respect to their hosts, ignore rules and regulations.

Revoke their visas and throw them in IDC.

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

See the OP Line 5 which states:

 

Eleven foreigners and twelve Thais were rounded up and taken into custody.

Should I have noticed, that this sentence, buried within this "article," also mentions twelve Thais?

 

11 Foreigners  +

12 Thais

Sorry folks, but the math just doesn't add up.

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.

Yep, I often see them at local concerts for example. Easy to point out with their bags and minutes later chatting with the uniformed guys.

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.

Good on those Thai Cops to get them off the beach and sitting side by side on a baht bus.

Yeah, I have known this and observed them for way too many years now. Even if they have a mohawk and ear rings you know it is a Thai undercover. My Spidey sense always confirms it as well.

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.

 

And that's why they are now predicted to have 75,000 deaths and over 1 million cases. They don't like to social distance and don't wear masks. Also they  shake hands, kisss/hug .

[Destiny1990]

 Amazing that some still dare to swim in that water.

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.

There are literally hundreds of pedestrians along Jomtien beach road walkways every morning. Never seen one stopped, admonished or arrested by the many cops on bikes that see them. I wouldn't worry too much about taking a walk. Same in Pattaya, the soi 9 cop shop doesn't even bat an eye at the passing joggers/walkers.

[pixelaoffy]

So the news item referred to ' exercising' and being arrested !  I guess it's a case of keep moving. The madness that is happening now is unbelievable.

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.

 

Didn't he know he was talking to the  local mafia?

[Andrew23]

Just back from Pattaya beach road. Was warned in a quite aggressive manner by the police that I can't walk along the street and I must go to another side of the road. I was jogging alone. So, you  can't even step in there by law. 

 

Thanks for not throwing me to jail for such a serious crime.

This shows when they have the will the Police can clear the beach area, so why can't they in normal times do their job and permanently rid it of the spaced out yaa baa druggies, drunks, pimps and vagrants that make it their permanent 24 hour home. No idea where those lowlifes have gone now, but if City Hall were ever serious about cleaning the place up to make it a not unattractive beach promenade it would be a perfect time to start. Don't let them back, Now there's no people allowed why don't they also clear away all the assorted construction rubble that is littered along the walkway.  Not much effort required.

There are restrictions and laws and on top of it big warning signs at the beaches here in Pattaya. It is up to you if you ignore all this. But please don't complain about consequences afterwards. This would be extremely naive. But obviously there are plenty of people like this. 

They are all subject to a 100,000 baht fine or not less than twelve months in prison. It's a pity the don't also get 50 strikes of the cane for crass stupidity.

They did not punish them at all. They just warned them not to repeat it and then they were released.
