Because without these foreigners they would not open the bar. The foreigners are the problem because they pay for it.

And Thai,s do not drink of course.......

No, not in this sort of bar (unless the farang customer bought it for them).

 

Give up.

So this is one step closer for Pattaya to get the ban again.

 

ban again..............When was the ban lifted allowing bars to open ?

mmm a storm in a teacup comes to mind.

Maybe the headline could have been a bit more thoughtful and less likely to ruffle the petticoats of the 'they don't like us here' gang?

 

How about:

 

"Darkside day-time, short-time pussy hunters nailed."

 

There.. perfect. No races explicitly identified while everyone can understand it's about some sad, over-the-hill, lonely white mongers thinking with their little heads.

Just a lock-in!

Those arrested face a possible 100,000 baht fine or up to one year in jail

Yes, possibly, or a donation to the police fund. Isn't this place down Nerm Plab Wan and well out of Pattaya?

Unless there is proof the foreigners asked for the bar to be opened they should not be fined.

 

With how disjointed the announcements are made ( how many times in the past week have we heard booze ban lifted/booze ban till the apr 30th/booze ban till may 31st/booze ban lifted/booze ban till may 3rd/etc etc etc...

 

If I saw a closed door beer bar open for bussiness I'd prolly go in the grab a coldie meself.

Why don't you say what is wrong with a few people having a private drink behind closed doors. What is it you object to; the closed doors, the drinks or the company?

I'd really like to see evidence of these hefty fines being paid. That would be very amusing.

So without the drinks it's still wrong? People congregate all the time. It's nonsense.

If the fines are actually levied, would the non-Thais pay a higher fine than the Thais due to the usual double tier standard being applied?  Just curious

If the same scenario had happened in your country, e.g. US or UK, I doubt the report would highlight your citizens breaking the law, when it's more newsworthy to blame foreigners for leading your citizens astray. 

In many western countries the nationalities of those arrested may not even be mentioned in the headline only in the content of the article.  Here in Canada it does happen sometimes but most often that will be when only one ethnic group is involved due to the cultural mix it is difficult to pinpoint just one country until the police report is issued.

'nuf sed.

It* can only spread if someone has the virus to start with. 

 

* Can't say what I think about C-19. I'd get a lifetime ban.

Those old fart foreigners in the pic should know better. Same story as those on the beach a few days ago who were caught. I would deport those idiots back to their home country. We don't need them here.

Lucky that you are not in charge of the country then.

 

Deporting people for relaxing and enjoying themselves.

So the 5 Thais also in the bar were not fools then according to you.

I'm sure there is plenty of this going on, just like bars close their doors at "closing time" yet remain open.

I think you've become indoctrinated into believing the worst, and that's not really a healthy attitude. IMO, many posters on here can only post negative comments, whatever the subject, which indicates that living away from their home country is not the utopian outcome they'd anticipated.  

 

 

 

 

Stephen there is nothing wrong with calling people out or having an opinion - the fact we are in Thailand and reading Thai news usually means that the subject matter of the discussion involves Thailand, you are telling people about unhealthy/healthy attitude which is in fact showing your "unhealthy" attitude to other posters because they have an opinion).

 

As for utopia - what on earth does that mean, we all have had our various reasons for living in or visiting Thailand - I don't think anyone posting on TVF is under any illusion about Thailand being some sort of Utopia - my own opinion after 15 years living here is that many things have changed, can't think of any that were positive changes and if it continues that way I might have to re-evaluate my options, I do however reserve the right to comment on whatever I see fit and whatever I feel directly affects me - so my advice to you is deal with it or find something else to read  ????
