Thais, foreigners arrested for drinking at Patong Beach

Since entry requirements are not known yet they can't book now. Will probably be in a few weeks time, so embassies/consulates can make sure visa applications are processed according to the rules. Your post just reinforces the post reacted to: "Some people can make the distinction between measures now and entry after JUly 1st."

I was referring to the situation regarding anti-covid measures. If they will remain the same, if anybody still face the  risk of being arrested for a drink with friends. It's certainly not a good advertisement

    I won't believe this heinous crime until I see the cardboard "crime" background and multiple finger pointing.

  • They forgot to mention if the soda water was Thai or foreign!

    Cannot just fine them, foreigners involved, got to make a MASSIVE show, just to let foreigners know such things will not be tolerated.

With the 50 Policemen posing for photos

The police are only bleating about the crime to take attention off the confiscated grog, beats the hell out of buying it.

Where is a more corona risk outside on a ventilated beach or inside packed up together at a police station holding cell?

Violating pandemic disease restrictions isn't jaywalking...so no, a citation isn't enough. 

Be careful, rational comments that make sense don't go down well here.

Been here 2 months already and it's very relaxing...just follow a few simple and widely posted PANDEMIC control restrictions like large social gatherings in public and consuming alcohol in groups. Is that SO hard? (All you alcoholics...just drink at home.)

Well we saw what happens to those drinking at home in Phuket last week

Pattaya Spotter wasn't suggesting breaking the law as those that you refer to were.  Having a drink at home is permitted.

The risk is in both.... wait to get a jab then do as you wish.

Yes, what's happened to those 'finger pointing' photos?  Is 'finger pointing' against the Covid rules? I miss them ????.

And yes you will have people coming by the plane load

3 lady boys and 5 Thai lady and 3  Foreign  man makes 11, not 12.

yes sure,  you are totally right...full planes will land every day... same as every ticket wins the 35 million

That cop-shop has no pride in their workplace.

At least paint the bars!! They are one of the first things stayover guests see.

Anyone who thinks the situation will be similar to the present one should start thinking straight.

And perceptions of the Covid situation are unlikely to change much in that time period. In the UK we have had five months of irksome restrictions, and 30 million plus people have been vaccinated, but almost every day some "expert" pops up with a doomsday scenario relating to the latest variant and the dire consequences of relaxing even to the slightest degree. It seems regardless of how the actual numbers change 'project fear' is destined to rule our lives.  Sadly, I doubt that the current proposals for opening up Phuket, or anywhere else in Thailand, for tourism this year are anything but a pipe dream.

Before covid on budda days bars would serve beer in a coffee cup or spirits in a  glass with coke  or soda water.If found  out the bar is fined like  the customer probadly.police knew and turned the other way many times.During these times if outside and spaced out with distance should not be a problem

Reminds me of Malachi in Children of the Corn. "They had books and music" as it is forbidden by he who walks behind the rows ????

Go directly to prison -and get Covid. When drinking on a beach is the safest drinking space possible. Amazing Thailand.

Numbers add up to 11 individuals, not 12, but then they were perpetrators and you have to wonder if one was not the informant.

Invisible man and didn't have his passport on him (so they don't know who/what he is), or

Bangkok Government number plates on car, remember the PM told papers to stop writing about his Ministers.
