Pattaya: 121 foreigners and Thais arrested drinking alcohol at restaurants and beach gatherings

[Emdog]

"Some tried to disguise themselves with leaves, said the media without explaining fully."

When I was a kid, we used to say "Make like a tree and leaf" Witty, eh?

I reckon most don't give a fig. Lettuce agree on that.

there are still quite a few younger farangs roaming around Pattaya on extended stays, time they went home and got back to work - the holiday is over folks and so is furlough

 

I just talked with them ...     

 

they said, "there are still quite a few older falangs complaining about strangers and being crabby and making up rules against falangs and passing judgment and being judge and jury and trying to ruin everyone's life.   The years of being unhappy are over."   

 

You could be the happiest person on Earth...........and then read TVF comments about you. 

 

lol

[vandeventer]

I hope you are building bigger jails. With all these tourist coming soon many would like to have a drink with their meal. It's bad enough they have to sleep alone and now they can't have a beer with their meal. Why should they come?

hey tough times for the Ladies, give them a break

 Of course you do not know, testis have not dropped yet, Once it does, you will understand a lot more, but nevertheless, i still love you, no less than all the thai and russian girls and we all want to be with you

 

And indeed, you right, the young saw the writing on the wall, hence why they work as "managers" in bars begging for drinks to survive.

 

I won't report your post; since you are clearly already struggling.

I don't know anything about those 'managers'. This thread concerns two establishments. Do any of those managers you mention work there? Are any of the people who were at either of these establishments on furlough or even from a country that has such a system?

It seems that some people just use this forum to vent regarding their general unhappiness about everything. Happy people write positively.

I simply cannot understand why someone would pollute a thread with bile concerning young people and furlough and....

So old man who testes have dropped.... thanks for your insight into the thinking of some old people. Methinks I will continue to avoid the like.

Yep...too many misery guts around. How can they be in Thailand, where so many people want to be and be so entirely miserable? Their lives are already over if they cannot be happy here. Where will they be happy? Nowhere I guess. Just waiting to die.

I am not talking about people that have to stay in construction camps. I am talking about people like you see on the pictures partying and drinking together. It was the same when the entertainment venues were allowed to be open but with Covid restrictions. Many simply did not care and so they are also responsible for the huge problems all others have to suffer now. There need to be harsch punishments for such such careless egoistic people. It does not make sense to make laws and regulations and then not to enforce them. 

same thing happened in the U.S. stupid kids out of spring break who do not give a hoot about the Pandemic and think that they are entitled and invulnerable.  meanwhile spreading the virus.  its a known fact that the adolescent brain does not fully mature until late into the twenties.  still no excuse.  ship them out.

This is the consequence if they try to apply silly kindergarten rules.

It's time to give people their lives back and let them earn some money to pay their bills.

The Government doesn't do it.

[johnarth]

what happens if you have visitors and police come in and find a couple in bed having sex? will they consider the lady to be a bar girl?

Jesus. Just follow the farkn rules. It won't rain forever.

[natway09]

The Bankok BIB obviously handle it a different way. The provincial crew with Police in attendance visited 12 "Restaurants" in Soi 8 & 4, 11 of which had alcohol being served.

Big photo sessions with staff, police & officers & off they went.

One hour later "business as usual"

Yeah.. way to go to get good publicity for Thailand's "sandboxes"...put this on an international news news and see how many so called tourists will rush to book flights to Thailand...

 

Why @ezzra? Pattaya isn't a sandbox being touted internationally as a safe place for drinking <deleted> and being stupid. Pattaya's <deleted> drinking idiots are already here by the looks of things.

[fleccer]

Tourists won't come especially after these beautiful advertisements. And those few who will come won't be real tourists but people who have some ties in this country

Tourism in Thailand is dead and it was a deliberate death

Yep, not allowed to sit on the beach, not allowed to drink alcohol in a restaurant, not allowed to stay in the same room as your Thai GF/partner if you're not legally married. May as well go to Saudi for a holiday.

Every time I see someone suggesting that "government" is the answer such as in health care, I see examples like this one where bureaucrats in government do not make rationale decisions.  I have said this before, there are numerous venues including government waiting rooms that are more crowded, see more people daily, and are more likely of spreading covid than in a bar.  Certainly more likely than sitting in either an open air restaurant or on a beach.  Yet the logic or lack thereof doesn't phase them since they are unaffected by the decision.  If it was private enterprise they would immediately recognize the negative impression created by photos showing people including foreigners arrested.  It does beg the question, can the Thai government make up its mind.  Does it want to promote Thailand as a paradise that tourists will want to visit or does it want to showcase its intolerance and inhospitable attitude.  In today's world with the internet, do you really believe this story and others like it have not made it around the world. 

 

[holy cow cm]

Lots of gals there. Looks fun but that is going to be one hefty fine for admission.

One can only assume: "Don't look at me, I'm a palm tree."

Ohh my has the world become a crazy place.

 

Will take years before we can ever have some proper fun here again.

They busted one of probably 100's of gatherings that happen every night. They are not controlling anything they're only putting people out of work

 

I think you are totally wrong..... there must be 1000’s of gatherings every night !!!

 

This one was just a better opportunity for the hypocritical BiB to get some money.....  I don’t believe for a second that any of those police to instigated and carried out the raid follow any of their own regulations....  

 

I know for a fact a load of police who are in bars, having parties and continuing as normal albeit not in the public eye... Just like gambling, etc.. scratch the surface and everything is ‘going on’...   but when the ‘unfortunate’ are targeted the faux-outrage and sanctimony comes out in force. 

 

 

The issue here is not so much that there are those who have broken covid-19 regulations but these who made those very regulations and those who enforce those regulations are most likely to be those very people who brake them.....  IF you don’t believe me, you haven’t 'scratched the surface' !!!
