Selfish because this kind of publicity tends to drag all foreigners here into this same clueless category - then we all suffer any consequences.

Is that what you heard or seen with your own eyes? Stopped at my local booze shop this afternoon, about 4pm, for a few wine coolers. It was outside selling hours, but there was a policeman there in full uniform buying a bottle of Lao Kao. The local Thai drunks were all sitting around the outside table drinking beers and shots, I bought 7 bottles of wine cooler. This is on a main road about 500m from the local police station.

Besides Pattaya want to open for tourists.. this is good for tourism in the sandbox. more jabs and more arrests. How can we kill tourism The second, bigger place, was on walking street and was full of shisha pipes, so I can guess where those guys were from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want severe punishment for them or think they don't care because they are doing their best to earn a meager living? Well I would say that construction camps are more of a danger than restaurants selling beer, but you could argue that one lot are trying to earn a living, the others are just enjoying themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malibukid Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 4 hours ago, James105 said: The people that are really being punished here are the bars and restaurants that are not breaking the rules, losing customers and business to those that are prepared to take the risk. Every business that does take the risk is doing it in a less safe way than they would be if they were allowed to open with sensible restrictions. Too many people bury their heads in the sand over this and pretend to themselves that if they cannot actually see people having any kind of fun, then covid spreads less. The reality is that people are still having fun, but in less ventilated, less controlled environments where covid has a greater chance of spreading. This also affects track and trace as nobody is going to confess to having a party in a bar behind closed doors or a condo room, nor will they have to sign in etc so contacts are never traced. The virus is simply not scary enough for the vast majority of people who are under 60 and healthy to stop them from socialising with their friends. Any serious effort to tackle this needs to have support from this group of people, and you do not get that by simpleton thinking that simply closing bars and preventing restaurants from selling alcohol will stop people from gathering with their friends and drinking alcohol. Once you accept the fact that people who are not scared of the virus will continue to socialise regardless of rules, then you can start to think about making policies that allow people to do so in a safer and more controlled way. more hormones than brains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age 65 here, not scary to me either. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, AIDs are scary ....... Covid not at all. I'd happily take the risk and go socialising with friends ......... if only they hadn't all died from the scary diseases!. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us not forget that the Police as a whole must be hurting. Was there not, in pre Covid days, a daily courier run, with several millions of Baht in cash, to Bangkok from Pattaya? I seem to recall a passing embarrassment one day when the couriers turned right instead of left and made it over the border into Cambodia? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
