since restaurants are allowed to open this was all about drinking alcohol 

 

from the picture - if they were observing distancing looks like they were forced into a tight group by police

actually if it's a business registered as a bar then they were breaking the laws from the start as bars are not allowed to open as yet, restaurants are but bars are not, secondly they were selling alcohol which is forbidden anyway ....  so the french man is in deep sh_it

"selling alcohol which is forbidden anyway " update pls.

Yes, they will severely punish the foreigners, the Thais maybe a B500 baht fine and a wai and a further B250 if they were not wearing a motorbike helmet.

selling alcohol from a business registered as bar is not allowed and selling alcohol from a restaurant and consuming it on site is not permitted.

There was a similar report about Pussycat bar in Pattaya in TVF recently. 5 Thais 3 farangs arrested in identical circumstances. All but the owner were fined 2k baht. Thais and farangs.

Are we sure the guy was not a Sultan from somewhere and it was just his harem of concubines like someone has elsewhere....

Right. A Thai with a Mercedes pays less than a foreigner with a scooter.

No, but it does in the UK.

Then again, there's a perception with many Thais that farang are wealthier, which us falang know is not the case. Also, unlike in the west, farang do not enjoy equality with the natives.

 

(It's a shame we can't play the race-card in Thailand, as also happens in the west, what I call inverted-racism).
