webfact Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Picture: INN The Royal Thai Police spokesman Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen struck a conciliatory tone yesterday when commenting on the online campaign to defy orders not to reopen restaurants and pubs. He said that the RTP don't want to arrest people for this. They understand the hardship that everyone is going through and don't want to add to that. But he implored everyone to comply and reminded the public that it is both illegal to incite lawbreaking and illegal to follow. He said it'll soon be time to reopen again and start to get back to normal. Be patient, was his overriding message. Then in reference to reports mentioned by INN that Thong Lo pubs in Bangkok were opening he said that investigations were taking place to get to the truth of the matter. He said the RTP would take action. He also said that there had been ten cases of people posing as private hospital reps offering vaccine of choice (most likely Moderna) to members of the public. The police were gathering evidence and advised the public to only deal directly with hospitals offering the vaccine. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-03 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient, If the incompetence of the Covid Czar and the shambolic Health Minister, with their abysmal vaccine roll out are anything to go by, it won't be soon at all, you'll be looking at sometime next year ! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my area of Bangkok, they're actually taking thinner envelopes because of the difficult times and still turning a blind eye. When someone bigger from outside the area is turning up to inspect, they give the businesses advance warning. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you have not much idea about the goings on of the police here. Or just doing your usual, having a go just for the sake of it, surely it is past time you stopped. The RTP do not make the Covid regulations, regardless of what you think. They enforce them. What I said was 100% accurate, I was not having "a go", I was stating fact. You think that it's time that I stopped posting on a public forum? Why? Is it because I don't always have the same opinion as you? How do you rationalise that I should stop posting, why shouldn't it be you that stops, is it that your opinion is more valid than mine? 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted July 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thai police understand the hardship - but will still prosecute pubs that open People with guns and a steady income following the orders of wealthy, elite politicians with lucrative incomes forcefully destroying the lives of those with no income with the seeming intention of putting them out of business for good - in the name of Covid. Never let a good crisis go to waste. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
