Dickp Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Simple for people to understand. Wife whats to go on vacation once all this covid lets up. Samui and some place are not going to be on the list. Let's see how does once the foreigners are let in again, not so good I bet. There are Law's and there people that should make sound good decisions on how to enforce them. This a clear case of look who we found breaking the Law. Really does not play well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 We don't allow beer drinking, Because it has juice. And one little sip, Makes farangs loose as a goose. What's the sorriest sight, In the whole human race? Then a farang in the gutter, With Chang on his face. Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum.

sambum Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: The UK moved on and abolished the restrictive laws. Thailand went backwards and introduced them. Nothing really unusual in that. A few years ago, Scotland decided to alter its drinking laws drastically, allowing additional hours for drinking. Scotland (especially the big cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh etc) had a reputation for obnoxious drunks, and the cynics said that increasing the time allowed to drink in pubs/bars would make things even worse. However, in actual fact, the reverse happened, and the level of drunkenness (and related "anti social behaviour") actually went DOWN! Whereas previously they only had 2 or 3 hours after work to "unwind", they now had 4 or 5 hours, so they took their time, and came out of the pubs/bars at closing time "semi sober" - maybe even before closing time!!! Also, the average drinker only has a certain amount of money to spend on his booze, so instead of 2 or 3 pints/whiskies an hour, they were only consuming 1 or 2, hence " semi sobriety". England followed suit later, and also introduced "staggered" closing times for the late night drinking holes, which also had a positive effect on the rowdy behaviour.

If it wasn't law, people couldn't be arrested and fined. I bet you haven't been here for long you can arrested fined and banged up just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time .IE. stopping to help someone at a road accident and then getting the blame for it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post from the home of CC Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) it's not the drinking, it's the irresponsible behavior following the intake of the drug. There is ample evidence to that shows that folks just don't give a **** about anyone else when under its influence. As death rates rise daily in this country I would suggest to those who are hopelessly addicted to pack up and go back to the UK, which is now open for continuing their substance abuse way of life..

Probation is good too. Bars are closed these guys risked it and got caught. People who drink disregard rules more then any. Bars are always the first to close in any country so its not really strange to close them. So many people defending the drinkers looks like a lot have problems with alcohol If you want to drink do it at home not in illigal bars.

It may not have anything to do with the point you're trying to make, but do you honestly think this was not just some ridiculous publicity stunt by Prayut?

My, what a big horse! Another member of the "if you don't like it go home" club! "As death rates rise daily in this country I would suggest to those who are hopelessly addicted to pack up and go back to the UK," So drinking is now responsible for the rising death rates in the country - as most of the bars in the country are closed, I would suggest that you need to find another "scapegoat" for your biased theory! And from your tone, it would appear that you would be quite happy for all the bars to be closed permanently, as you imply that they are solely responsible for the rising death rates in the country? I'm sure the tourist industry and a lot of its employers/employees would really appreciate that move. And I would also suggest that you don't seem to realise that a lot of tourism depends on the fact that an awful lot of people enjoy a (alcoholic) drink as part of their holiday - that is not to say they are "hopelessly addicted"! So, have a nice day and enjoy your cuppa - I'm going for a beer on the balcony! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God man learn to see the difference between essential things like hospitals and non essential things like drinking beer in bars. Buying food and clothes is essential, beer in bars non essential. Getting jabs is vital. Seems you got your priorities totally wrong, what is it with people who can't live without a bar and alcohol. Its closed for a reason. When you drink alcohol you forget about the rules and its non essential. Its how this 3rd wave started. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole third wave happened because of no social distancing in a bar. What tourists are there in this country now ? The only people are expats so they are hopelessly addicted. If you know bars are closed and you still visit bars that are open taking the risk for arrest then yes your addicted. Enjoy your beer on your balcony nobody said you can't drink. Just not in bars and mix with other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
