Practically every Phuket beach has more than a few bars selling beers in plain site, no coffee cups required !

I'm not saying this is right or wrong, just saying the Police don't bother with those bars/customers for "some" reason...

 

 

Nod ,nod, nudge wink, a nod as good as a wink to a blind bat.

[sungod]

So much ambiguity. asked to stay at home, asked not to go to work, asked not to travel between provinces. No one knows whats allowed and whats not.

6 people and a child of around 11 or 12 years old have a get together around the pool and its called an illegal party? Surely we're missing something here as this is just bizarre.

You can just about walk around to any household in our village and see the same - just without the pool.

What made it a party?  More than two farang gathering.  If they were Thais it would have been a non-issue.

I honestly can't believe we have quite a few posters actually agreeing with this turn of events, except of course the Brit haters prevalent on any thread where we are mentioned,

Most of these posters are probably the same twisted individual that needs therapy to get over something he experienced involving a Brit you can see a pattern in the same words used being used repeatedly. If you are reading this get help!

Can't have a beer with friends at home they say,  but can go shopping in  Thai street market. thats  ok, how stupid 

I think you're missing the point. In a Thai market most people will be taking precautions by wearing a mask hanging from one ear which stops the virus. I'm not sure if it's important which ear it's hanging from.

 

(Insert sarcasm emoji when found to avoid confusion)

When we went on holiday to Brittany we saw all the Brits there sitting around drinking wine like in the picture.

 

They are a menace, the Brits. In fact all the French are the same. They should all be deported if they can't stop blowing themselves up with their own petard.

How are you going to deport the French from France fuhrer? ????‍♂️

So you went on holiday during a pandemic then?

Invasion of Privacy comes to mind.....

 

A single constable could not politely knock on the door and exercise a little discretion? 

 

"Hey guys, could you break it up.... a few of the neighbors are concerned....."

 

A group of officers came to arrest them? 

 

.....so, let's think about this: for the sake of argument, everyone at the pool is infected. Do the police not value there own Safety and families!? 

 

Or the safety of others at the precinct? 

 

Better to let sleeping dogs lie....

 

Who's to say one of the Policemen were not infected and just communicated the latest strain to the entire group?

 

 

[poohy]

IMHO

I think they need to find who grassed them up once confirmed  wait      REVENGE is a dish best served cold, especially when planned well

 

That way the grasses  will never know what hit them

I thought drinking at home  "more than two people " was announced as banned.

So then, why were the home owners hauled off to the police station to be charged?

Why do you think , Mia noi needs a present perhaps !

There must of been literally thousands of Thais in Phuket doing exactly what these ' criminals ' were doing.

No doubt you will claim it was just chance that singled out these Farangs , utterly pathetic.

Currently with 98% of covid cases in Thailand being the highly contagious UK variant would it be too much to ask that these self entitled morons follow the rules like everyone else.

 

No wonder the numbers are so high in the UK where "having a drink" is more important than other people's lives. They just don't get it.

 

10,000+ daily deaths from the UK strain currently worldwide.

You are a seriously deluded individual.

[SuperTed]

Making the news should help this elderly couple, who apparently had not violated the national laws. (Who knows re local ordinance.)

 

At any rate, from appearances, they are owed an apology from the local officials. Or at least the brown envelopes should be returned. This is not good Thai hospitality, esp given age of those involved and that its clearly a family and their guests.

afternoon BBQ to celebrate Mother’s Dad and a few friends invited no

more then 12 people including 5 family members so seems no one allowed to have a BBQ at own villa it’s under the so-called 20

limit imposed but obviously Rules for

Some and Rules for others .. you visit the beach bars at Bangtao now and they are serving alcohol and

more then 20 people drinking seems different rules … where does it say we cannot drink in own villa it states bars and restaurants and certain establishments cannot serve alcohol ??? this is way over the top obviously disgruntled neighbours or someone after a bung ….

 

maybe you dont understand how rules work in Thailand just yet. 

Bar owners make donations each week so things aren't seen and if ever an issue it will be "a misunderstanding".

Many Thai's are xenophobic snoops and snitches. They are snooping on your wifi internet, the CCTV on every corner, in every shop, in every hall way of your guesthouse. Even some have hidden cameras inside the room!

There appears to be rules to ban social gatherings of more than 2 people which are not from the same family,

But we  are  all farangs  from farangland ask any Thai and just like the Thais have been "taught"  are  all  one  big  happy family, ergo  no  offence.

So, how many does it take to make a party? 

It only takes 2 to tango, dancing is banned, making noise must have been 2much for the neighbours. 

Thais can make as much noise as they like. 

Having fun with a couple of friends is now another excuse to punish falang virus spreaders, only this news could go viral on Facebook, does not cause covid spread, someone should tell the police this. 

[ChipButty]

I eventually saw that video it's like the Gestapo does the police chief need to be going to sort that out? or maybe he doesn't trust his subordinates 

Good job they were not smoking a joint,

Made me laugh how he made a big deal of a small ice box with a couple of bottles in it, good job he doesn't look in my beer fridge it's full my wife stocks it up everyday

I didn't make the laws and it doesn't matter what I think of the regulations during Covid restrictions (I don't agree with most of them but I comply) and I sure don't need any help from you, thanks.

6 people in private house does not break any laws , have more people in 7-11 waiting to be served on daily basis 

 

If there were 10-20 drunk people acting stupid you might have a case but 2 families with kids ?

"Hoist with his own petard" is a phrase from a speech in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet that has become proverbial. The phrase's meaning is literally that a bomb-maker is lifted ("hoist") off the ground by his own bomb (a "petard" is a small explosive device), and indicates an ironic reversal, or poetic justice.^[1]
