Pattaya: Boozing on the beach - police called but only warnings issued

 

Picture: Pattaya City

 

The Pattaya City page on Facebook reported that local tessakit officials called the police after finding tourists drinking alcohol on Pattaya beach.

 

Pictures showed a westerner as well as Thais. 

 

But the police seemed to have been gentle on this occasion only issuing warnings about the errant behavior.

Some people, presumably Thais, were seen giving the thumbs up along with officers on the beach.

 

An elderly western man was pictured near the picture close to a Thai woman with what looked like some beer and a bottle of Jack Daniel's for company.

If you want tourists - and you need tourists to survive IMMEDIATELY - then provide what tourists might enjoy during their holidays. Among other things there might be an ice-cold beer in the afternoon in a beach chair watching the sea; after all, all these people are grown-ups. 

But if you carry on with complete stupidity like no booze nor smoking at the beach or face a fine of THB 100'000, you make yourself only bloody ridiculous. Losers are, again, the Thai people who believe all this brainwashing bull and ongoing hammering which I call nothing short of Farangphobia. 

Get your act together; either tourists in - then follow suit or turn airports into markets or anything else befitting the real needs of what the government thinks is good for the people. Pathetic, to say the least!

Ok, they violated the (stupid) rules. But... having a drink or 2 and relax on the beach will definitely not push the spread of the Chinese virus. Don't need to be a PHD to have this knowledge.

At least he is wearing a shirt. That's a start.

How you can enjoy the beach when someone smoke just near you (under the wind) ?

 

(I'm very ok for booze)

[asiasurfer]

I don't understand the problem. Poor your booze in one of those Thermos- Cups. Apart from making it invisible, you can also enjoy your drink for hours, since it stays at least cold in there for a long time. (Best clue from an Alcoholic ????????)

What do you do with the empty can or bottle?

Thumbs up for the JD but a slap for the footwear !

[kinyara]

From what I saw over the weekend the visiting local tourists were happily drinking beer and other alcohol with their food in groups on their mats all along Jomtien  beach. I didn't see any patrols preventing them from doing so.

throw it in the ocean ????

[Hanuman2547]

I never go to the beach in Pattaya.  I do go to the beach in Jomtien.  I didn't know there was a ban on alcohol on the beach.  Granted, it is different zones.  I usually buy beer from those selling it nearby.

Agreed. Yet then you can talk to the smoker who, most likely, will do a walk-around smoking. Never had a problem with that and the issue might not have been that serious so to install a law with jail sentence and THB 100K fines ..........

If the next table is doing a serious somtam session with fish- and other sauces, the stench had been unbearable; I got up and moved without a word yet nobody (incl. some Thais who cannot handle the smell either) would expect legal fencing .......
