  • Beaten to a pulp, left in jail, blacklisted and deported after several excruciating nights in jail with the local Thai gangs - or that's what some on this forum would like ????

  • Paper glasses?         

  • Could be because the owners of the bar didn't or wouldn't pay those who needs to be paid to keep the business going hassle free, (so I'm told)

Can someone post me a picture of a paper glass as I have never come across one 

It's a bit like glass paper, just the other way round.

what happened to foreigner who get caught ??

Dual pricing.

higher multiple (20 x)

Jailed for boozing..pass the Kratom - changed days.

Party on Soi 8, police station on Soi 9. It took the superior investigative abilities of the Acting Police Chief to root out this nefarious activity. Everyone, to your inactive remote posting in the south, tout suite.

Hmmm... this sort of stuff is bound to encourage tourists to visit Thailand. Only reopened on Nov 1 st and already arresting them.  Not a good look

At least 30, they say. Don't they count those in attendance when they raid a venue? A few more hiding behind their paper glasses, perhaps?

They can only count as high as 20.5 using all their digits.

If you think there will not be a drink or two to be found you surely do not know the place very well. 

Can anyone identify where that bar is?

Which is an important point - this is a pub/bar - should not be open to begin with.  This was not a restaurant that was serving alcohol discretely.  

think foreigner's will have public flogging !!!  to show example to others ."thou shall not drink"  

probably just off a plane no idea that drinking a beer is a big no no

In my town the police came to the bar soi. Drove past all the bars with Thais drinking, and stopped at the one with a couple of Farags. Hats on, torches out, recording video, and told to close (thankfully that's all) then on their way. Talked to a policeman I know and he said their position is that the Thais would just be sitting and talking but not drinking, and the Farangs would certainly be drinking. Can't make it up.

Was watching the news on channel 3 this morning, some enterprising soul has planted some baby Kratom plants in the central divide in some town or city somewhere, there was an Officer of the law scratching his head and no doubt the concerned member of the public who had reported it to the police ????????

Time for people to dig in and clear it all away ?

Unlike the Thai police, the virus doesn't discriminate.   Corrupt muppets, the lot of them.

They would know if it's not the bar owner in on the scam it's one of the staff, and if it's not one of the staff it's the moto taxi guy out the front, and if it's not the moto taxi guy it's etc etc etc etc.

I agree customers would know there is a risk of getting caught and face around 20,000 Baht donation, but unless they have psychic abilities and can read minds, are master sleuths,  then to think that most would be able to determine if they had been caught by police, due to an inside arrangement with a bar owner, or someone else somehow connected to the bar/establishment is a very big stretch.  If the scam was done properly, the owner would appear dumbfounded, shocked etc, and the police would not let on with the arrangement.  Easy to pull that off.   I think one would have to be quite naive to think that this does not occur.  Of course if the scam was not pulled off the right way and someone saw a police nodding to someone or saying something, etc then yes a punter would guess something was awry.

All too late by the time police arrive.  You are up for 20k baht.  

 

We all know what Thai's are like.  Money today, don't care about tomorrow.  I doubt they care if they lose customers because they suspect it's been a staged police raid.  Especially if the bar is closing down anyway.

 

We all know the covid laws around selling alcohol at the moment.  Why take the risk?  It makes for an expensive drink if caught out.
