What made it a party? More than two farang gathering. If they were Thais it would have been a non-issue. well said; nothing more than harassment. my wife just had a birthday 'party' and were told no more than five so not really a party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we're missing something here as this is just bizarre. Next door to where I live Thais are having a party every other night. Usually 10 or 12 people attending from as far away as Bangkok ,we live in Phathum Tani . No masks, No distancing, drinking, smoking, fighting. Police do nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no correlation whatsoever, legally, between customers queueing in a shop and Covid-restricted "social gatherings". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very risky stuff I know. I'm presuming you or your wife have not had any friends, or family to visit your house in the last few weeks or visited the same. You mean assuming, not presuming, as you knowledge of my marital situation or my family or social circumstances is not only zero, it is also completely irrelevant to the OP. Whether we agree with the Covid restrictions or not (and I don't agree with all of them) does not alter the fact that they exist and flouting them can bring prosecution.

The link to the relevant Phuket News article and the direct quote from the police has been posted here already, I don't need to post it again. By the way, I'm a Briton and nowhere did I say that I agreed with what was reported in the OP or with all the Covid restrictions as you seem to be suggesting. "...pity none of them realised the OP was wrong". The OP was reporting what happened as a result of the raid, what empirical evidence do you have that shows that "the OP was wrong"?

Popular Post White Tiger Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 I really hope this goes to Court. It must surely get laughed out of Court. Police Colonel whatever his name is will end up looking like the biggest dipstick ever. Video footage of the actual "raid" is being shared on the Line app & I have to say there were only 3 people seated outside at the pool the other guests were inside the house, presumably watching tv or cooking or just getting on with life - they must have all thought "<deleted>" is going on when the police arrived. Looks like everyone has been made to go outside & pose by the pool for that publicity shot. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of the police having a warrant to enter the premises is ZERO. A warrant is required for Police to enter any private property unless a crime is taking place in view. i.e. If the BiB can see a crime taking place over the fence etc they can legally enter. There are reports that 3 people were sat outside while another 3 were inside - Thus, how could the BiB possibly know there was a ‘crime’ taking place? IMO - the police entered the property illegally. BUT..... what would happen if the BiB turned up at a property and the owner said, no you cannot come in. Get a warrant first ?????? [For clarity - I don’t think there was any crime taking place, the idea that 6 people having dinner even under covid regulations is preposterous, I’m not going to argue that point with the few on this forum who think having dinner in your house with friends is wrong during the covid-19 outbreak, no point arguing with idiots].

Hanaguma Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Seems pretty obvious that whoever called the police, they really exaggerated the scope of what was happening. Probably said something like, "my farang neighbour is having a big party by his pool", and the cops assumed/hoped for the worst. A chance at a great payday, looking good in front of the media, etc. So when they arrived to the actual scene they were totally overstaffed and looked ridiculous. That is why we heard the constant "where party? You party" mantra over and over. They were looking for a crime that had never taken place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) New orders issued today by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew to clarify the situation. "Section 5 of the previous order, regarding “Social activities”, mandated, “For social activities, all people must refrain from gathering for celebration, such as birthday parties, welcome or farewell parties, or others, except traditional events, such as funerals, weddings, or ordination. If the event cannot be postponed, the organiser must strictly follow the disease control measure to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.” Section 5 of the new order is now separated into sections 5.1 and 5.2. Section 5.1 features the exact same wording as the previous order. However, Section 5.2 clearly states, “5.2 Eating, drinking or celebrating among family at a house or other kind of accommodation must not include outsiders. Gathering to do any activities that are at risk of spreading infections must be prohibited." In other words family gatherings as long as they do not include outsiders are perfectly legal and ok https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-covid-restrictions-extended-foreigners-breaking-order-face-expulsion-79983.php Edited May 12, 2021 by Bkk Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
