People need to socialise it is something important to our development, look at what you are saying then agree with what the government want to do by holding mass gatherings for firework displays etc. then explain to me the difference

 

You make an excellent point, its the Thai government saying we tell you what to do when we want you to!!

Mybe no end  in site for the virus

Oh, there is a virus in downtown Bangkok, alright.  A virus which at least used to be eradicated every election and then slowly creep back up.  But the most recent form of the virus planted another form of itself such that it cannot be eradicated.  Now there is no vaccine available unless the citizens roll out their own version.

 

And then there is Covid.  Useful to block eradication of the first virus.

 

Quite the strategy, actually: A virus that allows another virus to prosper.

I live in Udon and I know of 2 restaurants that serve beer and they can do this because brown envelopes have been handed over. Everybody knows this is the case and even joke about it while swilling the booze back. Yet the fallacy that we are trying to protect you from the horrid virus(unless you give us some readies) persists. Until this open corruption is tackled then they will never move forward and truly develop.

People always will be stupid. They always think it will happen to others and not to themselves. And really those who complain about what the police does here in Thailand.. I'm so fed up with it... you really think that you know everything better? If up to me I would have all bars closed and especially the places where masses of people come together to get drunk. I won't be popular with this answer, but then... I didn't move to Thailand to accomodate idiots.

Nobody talks about BTS and buses, they're packed every day, no social distance

Um, that one went straight over the top for you.

 

I was being sarcastic.

 

Do you hear yourself man ?

 

We can't have people sitting at bars drinking, even if vaccinated, because you can still spread and even catch the virus.

 

Then I went onto say the rest which was how it should be, back to normal.

A total of 89 Thais and 27 foreigners were caught at the XOXO restaurant located at the Sukhumvit Plaza building on Soi Sukhumvit 12 last night

 

This is the main local Koreatown complex there.

 

Don't see any farang faces in the photo accompany the OP... And I'd guess, given the location, there likely weren't any or many farangs there for this one.

 

BTW, that's NOT any kind of "red light district" location.

I never thought of it as that, and certainly not an in your face one, but there seem to be a lot of windowless restaurants and the ratio of waitstaff to customers suggest they are either very service conscious or.......

AFAIK, that place is basically a nightclub kind of place that serves Korean food.

 

But the Sukhumvit Plaza building (little Koreatown) where XOXO is located is hardly Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy...

where the "elites" show the commoners their place in the power structure.

I have always thought of it also as "fake morality" where a Government tries to project an image of morality by cracking down on immorality in order to try and deflect/hide the reality of them.

 

Thaksin's/Prurachai's clampdown while they all gorged at the corruption trough.

The XOXO bar should use gravy boats not teacups, and the owners were only trying to get on the gravy train.                                                                                :sorry:

Maybe it is the dyxlexia/mispelling in producing their name that caused the problems!
