Popular Post webfact Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 Pattaya: Tourists flouting the alcohol and distancing rules - police chief cracking down Pattaya's police chief said he was cracking down on Thai and foreign tourists brazenly breaking the Covid-19 rules in Soi Bua Khao. Earlier pictures in the Thai media showed people drinking in the area of Tree Town market where there are mainly restaurants. Few masks were on display and social distancing had gone out the window as the revellers stuck their fingers up to the rules, reported 77kaoded. Chief Pol Col Khemmarin Phitsamai said he was aware of what was going on in the entertainment district. He had been told that patrons were not served alcohol in the area but they had brought it all in from 7-Eleven. He had ordered his men to crack down on the transgressions.

Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 As there has been no domestic cases for 28 days, and there appears to be no further contagion among these people gathering to enjoy a bit of socialising, common sense would say: Open the bars. However, we are talking about a government in fear of an massive uprising, so common sense does not come into the equation. 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oldie Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) This Tree Town area seems to be special. Before there were no public benches to sit. But now there are many and used by people for drinking and socializing. If you go a little bit further to Soi LK Metro it is dark and quiet. Also many other areas in Soi Buakhao are quiet. But this area has been different for many weeks already. Edited June 22, 2020 by Oldie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You omitted the very relevant part that stated that Thais were included also, in fact, Thais were the first to be mentioned... "Pattaya's police chief said he was cracking down on Thai and foreign tourists brazenly breaking the Covid-19 rules in Soi Bua Khao.

champers Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's been going on for months, even during the booze ban. Why crack down now when bars are probably going to open soon anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There I saw very many people without masks close together (tourists and ladies and ladymen). Endless empty beer bottles and cans. (Not loud) Music from a portable unit I guess. A police car with blinking red lights standing there but driving away. All in all I had the impression that this seems to be an approved party zone - but the two bars closed by the police are still closed. It has been busy there for weeks already. And someone put there many public benches not so long ago so that the people can sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
