2:20 looks interesting they are obviously not the party goers, maybe the wealthy neighbours who called in the fuzz? The lady in the yellow dress.

Yeah I wondered who she was . I’m thinking wealthy Thai neighbour who came to stick her bit in and tell police it happens all the time.

[PEE TEE]

Deport the foreigners after a while in the cells . bang up the Thais for 2 years and 20 years for the 2  druggies. would fair or not ?

Sh*t happens, seems like I missed an invitation to a party...???? - on the other hand, mai pen rai, it was illegal and with drugs, so not at all my ballgame, I would have been in the wrong place at the wrong time...???? - and hi-so parties are also often little too boring for me...????

Perhaps they accidentally got an invitation...

LMAO, that entire raid was staged for obvious reasons. <deleted> so many people on this site either a) don’t live in Thailand or b) are completely clueless as to how things work here.

With all the Club like lighting Etc, it looks more like a professional kind of operation, and not just a party

I have seen a few friends on Facebook having parties, believe it or not they were sitting social distanced and having a nice time while the wives made heaps of food and took pics of it.

But this party was full of coke and the dimwits could not keep the noise down, they self imploded, som num na.

So what? It makes the point doesn't it? If that was it's purpose then fine. Or at least it should make the point,  except for those who are too thick or arrogant to see it.

does anyone know with what they got charged with? Fines? Jail?

Those who bothered to read the OP know what the charges were, oddly enough.

Might be good to know as this will probably make the national news?

They isolate once they know they are positive. Samui had very few cases until it ran rampant undetected in Black Bamboo. Anyway, it is completely besides the point, she died she deserves respect not be called selfish when she did nothing wrong.

She, like all her fellow compatriots deserve respect, (and I did not call her selfish), when they have died, through no fault of their own. What I am saying is that Covid is so insidious that protecting yourself by ensuring your "household" do not intermingle is the most secure way of doing so. Any cases we have had in our condo have come from outside, not through selfish behaviour, but through people intermingling when they go about their daily lives, whether it's someone going to their office, or a maid going to the market.

Why not ask the former Revenue Department head who got life a few days ago if the law here doesn't apply to the rich and powerful?

no it's the G7 summit back in June ????

he obviously wasn't towing the line and had to be removed ????

1: Stupid to break the law. 2: Stupid to break the law so loudly. 3: Stupid to break the law so loudly and have cocaine in your possession. 4: Stupid the break the law so loudly while having cocaine in your possession and not inviting your neighbors.  

[Batty]

Some of you people are so misserable with your comments, honestly.  This is a bunch of people who like the rest of us, are sick of the pandemic and the strict rules that go with it and decided to go a bit nuts for one night and enjoy life. I dont condone it and i understand why we have these rules in place its for the greater and long term good, but seriously "throw them in prison" and "deport them now" etc just for saying 'sod it, im sick of this, lets go party for a night'. Seems harsh to me. Give them a 20k fine or something sure, but prison? Deportation?

Some people seem to enjoy spouting righteous plattitudes.

Was going to say something snarky then I read point 4, which I think is  selfish rather than stupid.

 

That said, I find cocaine counter intuitive to beach life, it gets clumpy too fast in the humid air.

Some people also call out the morons in our society who think that the rules are not meant for them, just for everyone else. The Bangkok Hilton has always had its fair share of them in residence.

Just listen to yourself, doc. 

 

Nothing like the strident call of a righteous fellow.

Happy 1st anniversary by the way.

You obviously spent a lifetime learning "how things work here" before taking the plunge and giving everyone the benefit of your experience.

Me think it was kinda of 'hey men, come in and pick a woman for the night' type of "party"...

Yeah Samui is now open and "the girls are back in town" 

[Dont confuse me]

At least park away from party and soundproof the basement and you might have half a chance of getting away with it! But you didn't lol ???? ????

Pretty sweet with a private nightclub. Something like MTV cribs.

Must not have notified and compensated the right people.

There ARE underground clubs going on....everywhere there are frangs

And you cant stop Thai people and local friends from drinking at a shut-in or home.

Every shop has tables a small fridge. Just add a bluetooth speaker and

Strident,  I think not, just a person who stays out of obvious trouble in a land where I am a guest.  

[apetryxx]

OMG, a party! Call out the SWAT team, bring the bazookas….. don’t these cops have anything better to do?

[BE88]

BS this is private home, why the police came arrest people on the private house ?

 

Because heard music sound ? And see car? They had a warrant from the judge ?

 

Can the police come tomorrow night arrested because I have loud music? Now them, tomorrow maybe any of you if you are sleepwalker.

Or someone who didn't get an invitation. I see in the video they even show the villa name as they go in..

His abacus was also confiscated, after a few months he will probably be pardoned, the abacus went above 20,000 not good
