Now playing pool is not allowed after darts, bridge and what will follow?? And than the stupid xenophobia about alcohol. Make normal laws or ban all alcohol in whole country.. But almost everyone is begging for tourists to come. First start to make normal lives with normal laws instead of these so called prevention laws for the youth or people Time to reform and restructure the economy, make it much less dependent on tourism, focus on real education, value added industries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the Thai authorities have this ridiculous idea that alcohol is the demon of Covid, Samui is supposed to be in a promoting tourism mode and yet we have this ban on alcohol in restaurants. You can purchase any amount you wish at any supermarket, meet with friends and get stupidly drunk and yet you cannot have a couple of beers in a controlled situation with your meal. It is just hypocrisy & stupidity meanwhile the majority of restaurants that have managed to stay open are operating at a loss hindered by the stupidity of the officials!!! Now they arrest people playing pool, what next!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleton Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Seems we are reading about people regularly breaking the rules on drinking alcohol Most of us are aware of the rules but some people still don't obey them Why I don't know must have plenty of money to pay the fines No doubt will be reading about others in the future doing the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaopad999 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Why anyone would want to break the law in this country is beyond me. While I might not agree with every law, I think it's important to remember that we are guests in this country and should abide by the regulations and laws that have been put into place. By all means, have a drink at home and enjoy yourself with some music and a glass of wine, but don't go to bars that are illegally selling alcohol and then cry about being arrested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Wondering, what the TAT boys are doing now. The sandbox in Phuket still produces "positive" tests while the other box in Samui features arrests of pool players. All the while there is a meatball festival going on in Buriram - with thousands of Thais roaming the place for whatever might be in these meatballs .........

Thaiophil Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 All across Thailand, restaurants and bars are openly selling alcohol in cardboad coffee cups. My local area in Bangkok is packed with drinkers every night. How could the Samui bar owner be so clueless as not to pay plod like everyone else? But in deserted Samui, maybe plod make bigger profits out of the fines. The environmental cost of all these cardboard cups must be horrendous???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robertson468 Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thailand has fumbled and dropped the ball so often on Tourism and the Virus, that it has now become embarassing, and they have had the cheek to lobby UK to be taken off the UK Red List! The big problem is the lack of vaccinated Thai People and until they get that rolled out properly, and hopefully before the next surge of infected people, they are consistantly shooting themselves in the foot and the what is even sadder is no one, but no one is being held to account. The Health Minister in the UK was recently replaced and the UK is way, way ahead of Thailand on their vaccination programme. Unfortunately I can only describe their efforts as apathetic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RafPinto Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 When are they closing massage shops again? Wasn't it, that only foot massage can be provided for maw 1 hour. Each shop, customers going in but I never see anyone sitting at the ground floor, where they usually do the foot massage. Naughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
