Pattaya: Tourists continue to violate beach ban, but Thai media provide no evidence

 

 

Thai media 77kaoded published a story that said tourists and Thais collecting shellfish continued to flout the Covid-19 beach ban.

 

They had pictures of clear signage in many languages that threatened jail and 100,000 baht fines.

 

They said the authorities were out in force all over the area at nine spots enforcing the law that has been eased to allow certain exercise on the beach road but not use of the sands.

However the media did not provide evidence of violations of the ban either in pictures or text in a report that purported to be an investigation into the latest situation in the beach in Pattaya.

 

They had pictures of a few policemen patrolling and sitting in a tent but quoted no one and gave no pertinent details of infringements, notes Thaivisa.

no evidence means troll and/or fake news

They're just back to farang bashing, nothing new. Keep calm and carry on.

If they do not want tourists gathering in groups and maybe passing on the virus, open the airports and borders so they can leave, or do they want these tourists trapped spending money.

The airports are open for departures, not sure about land borders, but there is nothing stopping

you leaving if you really want to.....

Some troll posts have been removed,  this topic has nothing to do with President Trump.

I believe there are flights out available at the moment. Emirates and Qatar seem to fly in daily.

In the land of fake that's the only thing that's believable.

Never seen a cop doing the former; plenty doing the latter, usually on overtime playing with his phone.

Must be fake.  Walking mornings and evenings no one have I seen violating the beach ban.

There is only one solution really.....Get bulldozers out there and push the brand new beach back into the sea so no one can ever use the beach again...

This should bring a smile to the authorities who seem to be beach haters....

I have a fantastic view of pattaya beach and since the tape has gone up, the only things I see walking on the beach are the Soi Dogs...the walkway is a different story but the sand? The dogs own that....

Their "evidence" is 3 russians caught swimming and a sad individual from this forum that took a video of four people sat on steps on the beach promenade but not in the beach itself
