Pattaya: Foreigners and Thai bar staff taken away and charged after noisy drinks party is busted

 

 

Ruk Siam News reported that ten officers from the Pattaya police station led by Pol Capt Kanoknan Suksri headed for an area behind Tree Town on Soi Bua Khao after area residents reported a nuisance. 

 

Fourteen people present - Thai bar staff and foreign patrons - were having a noisy drinks party at 12:30am this morning.

 

There were mats on the floor and stools had been set up at tables. Alcohol was present. 

 

Some claimed they were not drinking "just sitting there with friends" - police ignored this. 

 

Nobody was wearing a mask. 

 

Fourteen people were taken away and charged with contravening this year's special regulations and other Covid-19 restrictions.

Makes me think of being in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan. Anybody caught smoking, eating or drinking during sun-up,  (fasting), times, could be jailed until the end of Ramadan, at most a month away.  Have to wonder if something similar, ie until the end of restrictions, is a bit too much....

Soi bukao, drinking alcohol with bar girls.

i wonder which country these foreigners came from? 
In Chonburi red zone,
 

One way to stop these idiots would be deportation and black listing for life.

That sounds like a bit too much, but anything is possible and they should have more sense than to risk so much.

Agree, but they were daft enough to do it an open area, unlike many others who confine it to private condos.

Almost constant coverage on Thai news TV currently about covid, which naturally includes coverage of the worst affected countries and the new UK super strain spreading across the globe.

 

If you were a Thai sitting at home, following the rules what would you want happen to these foreigners?

Deport them back to their own country? 

I am living in hope that this second wave will fizzle out like the first, but with idiots like these, Thai and foreign, it is less likely.

I suppose it is a bit much to expect from Pattaya hookers and mongers.

You can read it as you wish...but I said, repeat, the same as what  happens to locals (caught doing similar). I share your hopes deeply... but instances like this were plentiful during the first wave and lockdown. The rules are less severe this time.

It is NOT the new UK super strain, it is a variant ( Mutation ) that has been found in numerous countries & with people that have no recent or any travel history, stop with the exaggeration.

Maybe you missed the news in the last two weeks?

 

 

What the super strain mutants mean for the world in 2021.

Though so far not deemed more virulent or deadly, the two new super strains represent an increased transmission risk, and that has undeniable consequences.

And while early indications are positive, it's not yet certain if the COVID-19 vaccinesnow being deployed globally will be effective against the mutations.

I haven't missed any news I can assure you, please explain why you called it the UK super strain and not the UK & South African super strains ?? Not forgetting that it has also been found in other countries besides these 2 ? Seems to me that it's you that has not been keeping up with the news,  you wouldn't happen to have an agenda or bias against the UK would you ?

 

And I totally agree that these idiots deserve punishment but only in the same proportion as the Thai miscreants.

If you could only find out the rules for the area you live in, we have 2 restaurants about 2 km apart (different villages same Ampoe) 1 was told to close completely (no food sales) until February, the second has no restrictions at all.

Rumors abound re travel to other provinces (eg yesterday it was said that southern provincial borders are closing tonight) the buses are still running today, all tambons are to have temperature check stations running 24 hours, none seen, and so on, and so on.
