13 arrested for breaching COVID rules after attending birthday party in Pattaya

[webfact]

 

Sunday 13th proved unlucky for 13 Thai youth at a luxury resort in Bang Lamung, Pattaya in the early hours.

 

An informer told the police about a party in contravention of the emergency decree and they swooped on the property on 150 square wah of land on Thung Klom Tan Man Road. 

 

There was drinking going on and loud music playing. They were celebrating a birthday.

 

Alcohol was taken into evidence but there was nothing illegal apart from the fact of their congregating.

 

They were all taken to Nong Prue police station and charged with breaking the emergency decree and rules connected to the pandemic, reported Channel 7.

 

They were bailed in the sum of 20,000 baht each and will appear in court today.

there was nothing illegal apart from the fact of their congregation.... I thought it was allowed to be with a group not more than 15 sit together ..... not even the use of alcohol was forbidden apparently... So I wonder what the problem is/was

[mikebell]

A nice little earner.  How does one inform - no one answers the phone & Pattaya Plod don't work nights.

One thing I am learning about this lockdown....Thailand has a ton of Snitches.....55555.

[Shuya]

Literally all pool villas I passed by this weekend were fully occupied with hordes of locals eating and drinking. Must me mostly about who is your neighbor...

Nope, I like it here, police keep it nice and quiet, good on them.

[smiggley]

If the drinking was not illegal why did the police take the booze away as evidence? That could be taken as theft or corruption which the PM has promised to stamp out.

Not when they own the bars, as many do round Buakhao. All night scream in.

So as long as "emergency decree and rules connected to the pandemic" exist, why would any tourist in their right mind come to vacation in Thailand.  What would happen if you tried to meet with family and friends and have fun? 
Exactly this!

Until the "emergency decree and rules connected to the pandemic" are in force, there is exactly no reason whatsoever to come and vacation in Thailand.

I got done by a Dutch guy , I don’t trust Farang here 

[richard_smith237]

The rules are very clear - no gatherings of more than 20 people (except phuket which currently has more strict rules). 

 

So... What exactly are the police suggesting was illegal?

 

It seems these 15 people are doing nothing that I have not been doing every weekend (usually with about 8-10 people meeting up for dinner etc in our houses).

Does that make snitching OK then?

[Stargeezr]

It was the loud music, and not inviting the police to join in the party. Silly...

Geezer

You mean informing the police about infringements that might contribute to the spread of Covid...... !

Protecting your own family and friends in the neighborhood from those acting dangerously, and keeping you awake.

And at the same time getting a nice little cut on any monetary gains.
