I though drinking alone was a sign of a problem. Now the problem is not drinking alone? No information on how much I can drink?

 

I am getting dizzy and need a drink!

It's the younger generation that these bans will hurt the most with no socializing.

have you been out recently ?

 

you will find a group of people all out together with their heads buried in their phones - they also do it walking - driving - eating - on the pot - in bed - in their sleep............. non stop 24hrs a day, some of my friends even do it -------------yes the older generation, hey mate going out for a few - if you leave your phone in your pocket or better still leave it at home mate lol

 

I know what I would ban

 

If only it was discovered that the real cause of CV-19 was facebook and smartphones lol

There you have it. Nobody's gonna be battering down your door if you're enjoying a quiet drink indoors with friends, just keep it discreet. 

 

 

As a Farang I guess it would be wise not to be too ostentatious about it, groups of friends drinking on the patio might well (and has) elicit complaints from Thai neighbours looking for an excuse to get a dig in at the Farang, complaints to which the Thai police would feel obliged to respond. I would emphasise that in my experience most Thai people are pretty laissez-faire regarding our peccadillos but, as with any group of people, there will always be one or two knobheads.

I had a laugh at your post and the use of eloquent dainty words some of which I had to look up on google 

 

then you spoiled it with the very last word lol

This coming from the Royal Thai Police after they let so many people out of Bangkok this past weekend causing traffic jams.  Where were all these people going???  Going home or to relatives of course ...

what do the authorities expect 

 

They produce data about infection rates etc and then enforce ridiculous controls and curfews - is it any wonder people are asking themselves - what pandemic ? why all these draconian measures, if pattaya based on data - there is no virus and yet ?????

good luck enforcing that one 

[owl sees all]

Are these laws, rules or guidelines?

 

Seems to me like some bods, with a bit of authority, are making it up as they think fit. And the police are very selective in their 'nicking'.

 

Is making laws this easy in LOS?

Huh ... I think you don't understand what I was trying to say

[Greg O]

Asians as a whole are very social people and herd together and share everything such as at meal time, celebrations, funerals and my motobike ! I enjoy that as in my country ( the independent communist republic of California) social distancing is taught from childhood so what's the point of enforcing something they're already doing ? People in South East Asia live outside it's counter productive to tell them to stay inside. That's for sleeping... Ramble ramble.

Spot on, probably less than 0.5 % of the 70 million population tested so the figures released dont reflect the true extent of covid here,  but are just a daily release of flatulence as in most government statements.

Id love to know where they are hiding all the bodies. I mean obviously these figures are incorrect and your stab at 0.5% is about as accurate as it can get, so, tell me, where are all these bodies that are obviously being hidden? Is the whole Thai population also in on this cover up? Hiding their relatives bodies in order to not give the game away ????????????

It's the younger ones that will spread it to the older ones and those with weak immune systems who will be hurt the most as they will lose their lives until a vaccine can be found, so why not show patience, drink, and perhaps socialise responsibility with social distancing, it can't be that hard, after all we are talking about lives that can't be replaced, it's not as if we are putting people in prison, I mean what do you get from partying except a release.

 

But then again, people are selfish and will do what they want for themselves.

I can understand where you are coming from but as one in my early 50s,  I see it from a younger persons viewpoint. If we had known at the beginning what we know now, the best way of dealing with this IMO would have been to let the ones who felt physically able enough to overcome the virus to carry on with life as normal whilst those with underlying health issues, the elderly, or a combination of the 2, could have made their own decisions as to how they dealt with the way they progressed. 
Imagine Johnson on the steps of Number 10 saying you have the choice, as responsible adults, to know what is best for yourself and your loved ones. The only people who would possibly oppose this are the ones who need direction in life and cannot think for themselves.
Herd immunity would get rid of the virus quicker and allow the elderly/ill to be back to normal sooner too. Those that still didnt feel comfortable going out after all that . . . up to you

[sambum]

That's Phitsanulok, Pathum Thani, Buriram and Petchaburi provinces off the bucket list then!

[Bassclomp]

Enjoy a beer at home and then stay home don't drive car or ride motorcycle until sober would save more lives if it was enforced but I guess a fake pandemic more dangerous.

Yes, there's enough stigma attached to socialising with priests, real or otherwise ????

I like it! Do not invite friends or relatives for beer it’s a rule..

 

AKA No free beers today... .. sorry it’s the rule.. bye bye 

[pattayadgw]

Wow.... we can all go to the busy markets touching foods and rubbing against each other but adults can't sit and have a few cold beers with a friend(s). Thais traditionally sit down on the floor to eat and with that said will readily invite friends or neighbours to join them.  I dont get it as do many other people!!! just like the madness of the beaches still locked down.

I saw lots of police officers outside the police station, must have been coffee time. If I would have known before, I could have asked them if they were congregating or not...
