A total of 235 customers, including nine juveniles, were captured at a local establishment in the Mueng district of Khon Kaen province in the early hours of this morning, October 20th, for allegedly illegally gathering and drinking alcohol which violates the provincial orders to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

 

More than 200 officials from the Khon Kaen Provincial Police led a raid at the restaurant located on Maliwan road in the Ban Ped sub-district at around 1:00 AM. today after being alerted by a “concerned citizen” that a lot of customers, which reportedly exceeded the limited number as ordered by the provincial committee, were visiting the place outside of legal operating hours and breaking Covid-19 rules that prohibit parties and social gatherings.

 

Upon the search of so-called VIP rooms at the venue, nine customers who were under 18-years-old were discovered among hundreds of partygoers. Alcohol drinks were also found in soda bottles and containers while pitchers of beer were placed discreetly on the tables, in a futile attempt to disguise the fact the venue was serving liquor against current Covid-19 orders.

People are OVER IT. Been over it since March 2020. ????

Sounds like a great party until the poopers ???? showed. ????

I think you would be more fed up being the 235th person to be processed than actually been arrested.

01,00 serving pop with minors present, somebody thought they were above the law.

 

Yet when the police do not do their job, you all complain about that.

 

It is the law and if you break the law (especially knowingly), you have to expect and accept to face the consequences.

 

Nearly doubled the numbers when the capture crew turned up 435 people in one place ka-ching ka-ching????

I live near this place and they have flaunted the rules for years, loud music and drinking untill early hours of the morning. Complaints to police but no action. Pleased to see this but fear nothing will change.

Hang 'em high.

The most incredible part of this story is that more than 200 police were working after dark, surely a mis-print.

Yeah, but don't forget that with so few places to shake-down because of covid-19, the po-po need these busts to make overtime!

Have a walk around Phrom Phong area. I saw a few pubs serving drinks.

Darkening the windows ????????

They need to raise money.

In order to afford a mia-noi, there must be cash on the table.

Not so discreet...someone is pointing at them.

Good to see due diligence by the boys in brown.

 

while other crimes and road fatalities carry on.

 

I mean get a grip people are fed up with all the BS…. Let’s stop the charade and those that may feel that they are at risk of Delta Aplha Beta Mega strains stay at home.

I was just in Khon Kaen for a few nights.

 

Stayed at an upscale hotel.  They actually had a pool party late into the wee hours.

 

Didn't bother me but I assume if you pay you can play.

 

Can't blame them its been a long lockdown and Khon Kaen is notoriously boring for its size.

 

Nice shopping mall though.

It's a restaurant! It's perfectly normal to serve alcohol in restaurants with kids around. What weird country are you from? And BTW 'POP' means a soft non alcoholic drink..AKA Soda in the USA..
