Aussieroaming Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 They were at a higher risk of drowning than contracting Covid...."an underground room" in Pattaya in the wet season. Based on recent flooding pics being underground isn't without its risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are irresponsible fools, who put everyone else at risk and contribute to lengthening this pandemic. What other interpretation of this kind of anti social idiocy is there? Im with on that one, I reckon they should start deporting some of these Farangs that will wake them up, you cannot go around making your own rules, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very well if you're living in a content environment with somebody or have a family or friends nearby to socialize at home with... I imagine that in that case lockdowns are little more than a temporary annoyance. If you're by yourself then the feeling of loneliness can be excruciating . At least when restaurants were open for dine-in you could have some interaction with people when going out to eat, but when that gets taken away you're left to sit at home all day bar the odd trip to the supermarket. We're not solitary creatures. We need social interaction. Not to mention people who are living in an unhappy partnership/family situation. That must be just as bad or probably even worse. Now I don't go to these gatherings, because I don't fancy the associated risks, but I can understand why others might feel the need to do so. Agree, the food court/upstairs coffee shop at the Big C on Pattaya Klang is a prime example of expats need to socialize, pre lock down days there'd be dozens and dozens of older expats in no rush to leave, chit chatting with fellow expats. I understand the need to socialize, but it's no excuse to break the law. Anyone know what kind of penalty these bar/restaurant owners receive for hosting these illegal get-togethers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to be in a group or party situation or else they think they have no life or are missing something. Hey, just stay home and drink a beer and watch TV for a few weeks it won't kill you. Once people are in lockdown they stay there untill the risk has passed. We're talking months, not weeks. Actually I expect the government to find some excuse to lift the lockdown before then whether the figures improve or not. It's that or give people money.

Sorry about your friends but tell me were they in the so called at risk categories or were they healthy people with no other health problems. Not their choice people like that spread it to others making all of us having to stay locked down longer as cases keep growing. Utterly selfish. I hope they change the rules and foreigners that get out like that get deported. Maybe then they will stop being stupid. Seems the rules are not tough enough because they break them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not a few weeks and its quite anoying that is for sure. Gets to all of us. But no lies have been told nobody ever said a lockdown would stop covid. It will slow the spread so hospitals can cope. Not sure if you follow the news but hospitals have been getting in trouble more and more and now they are denying certain people care because of their low survival chance. So triage already. That is a clear sign of hospitals at breaking points. Dead bodies on the street people waiting for help. Hospitals cant cope. But no these selfish buggers by going out keep spreading the virus and keep prolonging the lock downs. Hospitals under even more stress. Sure you can blame the government too for not having the vaccines. But this is how it is and people should really follow the rules. Maybe should start deporting foreigners after the second offence or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live a kilometre from this bar. Four people leave my village every night on loud, look-at-me bikes often returning well after curfew time. Their selfishness in spreading the virus is criminal and reflected in the impact their bikes have on those about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Thais are but the farangs on this forum too. I am pretty sure some of those they did nothing wrong crowd still go out drinking. But I think your right enforcement is always lacking because of corruption so they chance it. Now if they just blacklist foreigners that get caught twice then maybe some would listen. At least the they were doing nothing wrong crowd would see that these were guys that would not learn (hence the second arrest) and I doubt many would be caught as some would stop and the chance to get caught is not that high but still would set a good example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks is dependent on people actually following the guidelines.
