As I said those attitudes are long gone, you refer to ripped jeans and t shirts as innapropriate dress code for a beach bar in Thailand but actually it is perfectly acceptable, it's called dressing down. Oh and like it or not ripped jeans are fashionable nowadays. Why you think someone dressing down lacks dignity tells me you either don't understand the word or you are horribly snobbish.. ????????

And elephant pants?

Selling alcohol is forbidden ? By who? The Governor of Surat Thani ?

Let me chime in here...

Big Picture FACTS:

There are NO cases on Koh Samui except maybe a month ago that has been hospitalized long ago and probably now recovered.

The folks now traveling into Samui quarantine 14 days

 

Since it has been awhile all of us in lockdown and no new cases, why is not the island NOT fully operational?

How long with 0 cases are we going to be under house arrest? 1 more month, 1 more year?

Has fear completely taken over the masses?

Have we transferred our own responsibilities over to our Government officials blindly (just because)? 

 

While I am not condoning breaking the law...but with the facts above there should be no UNNECESSARY LAW in the first place!

Or do we all live in fear now as a new normal? How long?

and please don’t answer until there is a vaccine...that could take two years!

 

Big Picture!

No fear on Samui club

Bad farangs, BAD! Did you forget there's NO FUN ALLOWED? You think this is some kind of tropical paradise for you to party in? You thought WRONG! Now go look at some temples.

becoming more tired by the day of the global Enforcement of repugnant disgusting authoritarian facist dogma and beliefs, let’s face it the Gestapo PIGs have zero grey matter and take their orders from a tribal mentality of the top dog, chief, master oblivious conditioned belief system. Stalin and Mao would have a field day here.

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.

another "motorbike helmet logic" farang! lol.

 

1. Its not your country so you are expected to behave yourself and abide the law ESPECIALLY during a global crisis. Otherwise, leave.

2. Your income is probably much more than the income of many Thais.

3. A small fine plus a reprimand by a police will work for a Thai. You and most farang however, wont be impressed by a police reprimanding you (you robably would ridicule him on Thaivisa) and a small fine. ONLY a stiff punishment will make you listen and obey.

The 2nd picture in the original article describes the situation there better. There is nothing to add anymore. If the police doesn't punish them accordingly then better forget the law. 

There is barely any law on Samui, Phangan and Dark Tao. The bar owner will be punished. The patrons will be asked for donations, according to what they can afford.

what an unfair and cynical comment.

it would be VERY UNFAIR to other (farang and thai) bar owners who DO comply with these crisis laws, for allowing one clever farang to open his bar. ever think about the other ppl who DO comply?

Police doing a GREAT and difficult job. WE FARANG should not make it more difficult by disobeying and ridiculing.

I hav'nt, but I did use to work with a Thai guy who wore those really baggy, thin cotton, red, gold and green, Bob Marley trousers. We had an open area on the roof where I would go and smoke cigarettes and he would smoke a bong. He did get the sack shortly after I left the place.

You been living under a rock for the past month?

 

Spain has had that rule for 2 months I believe. Only allowed outside to go to the supermarket ALONE, not even with your wife, and only 1 person at the time in the shop. They have last week eased the rules, but extended state of emergency because new cases increased again after easing of the rules.

 

In Belgium you were not allowed to visit other homes, they are now considering easing it, in so far that you can visit but not more than 4 people allowed in the house

 

A UK friend message me this 2 weeks ago.

 

covid 19 is pissing me off, getting pulled in by cops for driving car out 2k from my home.

 

These are the rules starting 18th this month in the UK
