I recorded the event live.  I was there.  I posted on YouTube, and you are correct  many came on and said it was race, the thing is everyone else had on mask except for him and his white Russian girlfriend 

" his White Russian girlfriend ". Yeah,that’s what I mainly focused on ! ????

There is NO SUCH NAME AS CKARENCE.  It’s a Typo.  His Name is Clarence.  If you notice the K & L keys are next to each other on the keyboard.

 

And I’m pretty sure that the Thai’s never heard of the name Clarence Either.  

 

The real question is… Did he vote for TRUMP or Biden?  If he voted for TRUMP, then you have your answer

as to why he didn’t wear a mask.  He thinks he’s above the law.

 

He forgets, as many ex-pats do, that WE ARE A GUEST IN THIS COUNTRY.  ACT LIKE ONE!

Also i just saw a question was the white girl charged....answer is no she was not charged nor was i. They didnt even ask her a question or require her to come. But she came to make sure all was on the level. As i said this was a show. They asked nicely and i said sure ill play along. Because if i felt any type of way i would have just told them im not going to talk and ill contact my embassy asap. Everything was cool. Thai police were cool. Been a funny situation tho. And from what i hear the other guy will be taken in for not wearing his bra....messed up situation. I might chip in to help get him a victoria secret one. Ill link the gofundme

Count yourself  lucky, I know the other man, he's got a black belt in origami, could of ended in a bad situation..

Good.

Wonder if he'll regret his action next time his ext/renewal is due.

With todays numbers of 

14,260 cases and 119 deaths one would hope mask wearing and personal safety along with any bias would be set aside and people would do the right thing to help us out of a potential 3 month lockdown as has been recommended. 

Maybe he just forgot he ain't in America with the more liberal freedoms one thinks they have.

Cxarence,...now that's a name and a half.

Judging from his image on the vinyl board his nickname is Chubby Chequer.

You know the rules about wearing a face mask here in Thailand 

Deserves to be fined no excuses

What a total waste of time, if he was Thai nothing would have been done.

Around here a very small percentage of people are wearing masks, nothing is done about it.

Just another farang bashing episode, having said that the man is as fool for not wearing a mask.

He was a disgusting individual. Threaten violence, very insulting to the other guy. He got what he deserved.

Sorry, he was wrong. Being colored and American would maybe work in other places but over here he should have followed the rules. The staff did nothing wrong.

Great use of resources.

Maybe 10 men and the 10 foot banner.

 

Would be nothing to report if it was a Thai.

If only the government would divert a portion of the enormous “police vinyl board” budget into buying vaccines….

 

 

 

 

But how would we learn then about Mr. XXX with a full face checkered mask ?

 

If schools don't teach reading, must rely on picture media to send message.

A tool and his money are soon parted, and I await the people who will arrive and say it was race based in arresting him and not because he was an insolent sob.

It was a Health Issue, pure and simple, No race  or farnag bashing. He breached health orders. Send him back to USA.

A simple sign at the door and throughout the facility would have (maybe) nipped this is the bud. NO MASK, NO SERVICE

Why?  There is a nationwide mask mandate that has been highly publicized. 

[jethro69]

The "large vinyl board" was probably 3 times more expensive than the fine raised. ????

Looks like Taco Bell is going to have to dust off it's old motto, when in doubt:

Remind me again how many people have died in the country you come from................................

At home in BKK, the vast majority of Thais are wearing masks, the foreigners on the other hand, the majority I’ve seen, even in my building either don’t wear, or don’t wear properly. Now in self imposed exile in Hua Hin, it’s a similar story. However the last few days most seem to doing better. The more that get fined the better IMO.

[Boedog]

A man of colour, really, yesterday's news was Thailand doesn't discriminate against foreigners, l don't see any Thai,s dragged down to the Police station and paraded in front of the media,same same but different 

[Jen65]

If any shop /premises require one to where a mask (and it is usually written on the door ) PLUS we all now mask wearing in public is now mandatory and with the current situation anyone questioning or disobeying this deserves to have the book thrown at them . Irrespective of whether racist or not , a foreigner here needs to follow the rules and not argue .Very stupid American !!

Most of these places now have employees who sit outside the shop. I understand not being allowed to go into a private business while violating their policy. I think he has a point otherwise. Those outside employees could take his order and give it to him outside. Seems we should encourage people to stay outside if we truly want to follow the science. Outside/outdoor infections have been shown to be much less prevalent. 

The law here is you wear a mask outside in public. What is so difficult to understand about that? Great job BIB hope it was more than B6000
