a bar across from treetown (20m away) tried that last week and got raided - if the police had looked over their shoulder they would have seen hundreds of people all drinking jam packed into that small area - they just ignored it, it is now so packed that they are putting tables on the walkway to the toilets, there is also a shop openly selling beer beside the toilets all ignored by the police - I kid you not, someone is paying the cops big money for them to ignore this 

I'm sure it's not simply about small money. Someone with pull owns the establishment or is being directly paid.

 

What's sad is people go there and then complain about*mafia"

Wait.. didn't  these business  owners get the memo from the Thai Health department director?  Alcohol  relaxes the Pharynx  and lets covid enter easily.   Theres no way they can open bars if he says its true.

 

Quality leadership.  Amazing Thailand.  ????
