They need to relax a bit before holidaymakers are returning. Exactly. The petty polices mixed with cultural issues I think are starting to be a real downer & deterrent for folks wanting to have a good time here. But hey, it's not like that will change things..

Popular Post ChrisKC Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 It is my opinion that there is no need to differentiate between Thais and foreigners, either in the title or in the main text. The same infringement has occurred in the same place at the same time and has the same legal significance irrespective of the perpetrators nationality. In addition, it unnecessarily invites more discussion on issues of race than the central one of defying covid restrictions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Wait! Meanwhile back in Rawai yesterday (Sunday/16th), another major bust takes place..... Probably take a few days for the Phuket News to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame them there. Cops in US love to write tickets and provide the cities and counties with revenue stream. All seems such folly. Begs the question to the government where are the vaccines?

Popular Post easydoor Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 I really don't understand people anymore. There is a rule, just follow this rule. Is this so difficult? Are this guys so dependent on drinking alcohol? In case I want to drink a beer, I drink it at home, same taste. I just can call them STUPID and I hope this people receive a high bill and for me, they can deport them, back to where they were coming from. We don't need people like this, they are just good to give us a bad reputation. 4 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your "long distance" drink but only with 1 friend. Book your spot at the bar well in advance. Staying over 30min will request 1 month in prison or 158,000Baht in cash.

fredwiggy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Went to a Thai hospital with a friend here to get her mom's medication, and there were over 60 locals sitting, masked yes, but right next to each other waiting for a doctor visit. No two chairs apart like the banks have but right next to each other. Granted , a lot of Isaan people do not have televisions but some do and the news should have been passed around about the risks. I drive daily around my village and through cities and see no changes in eating habits, with up to ten or more family and friends sitting around sharing sticky rice and water glasses just like always. It always seems to be when these arrests are made, that there are foreigners involved. Do they bust a lot of private get togethers with only locals? They dodged a bullet last year with the amount of (reported) deaths and cases, where there most likely was thousands of more cases not reported and many more deaths attributed to covid which were passed off as typical pneumonia and sent to the temple for burning. I saw this coming again when Songkran wasn't again canceled, and now they are finding out firsthand how lucky they were last year and how stupid the decision was to open up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Thais victimise us Colin? It didn't make the Thai news. Only reported in the local English speaking Farang owned local rag and on this forum which both appeal to farangs and are making a fuss over it. With the English fellas getting drunk with ladyboys, and perhaps not realising we can look at it as "Englishmen saved by Phuket police from a night of buggery and embarassment.
