Daily News reported that the provincial governor of Prachuap Khirikhan has ordered a crackdown after it was discovered that alcohol was being sold in coffee cups. 

 

Staff were also not wearing masks and music was being played.

 

Sathian Charoenrian was announcing adjustments to rules except for in Hua Hin and Nong Khae at a meeting.

 

He said information had been received about alcohol being served where it shouldn't. 

 

He ordered the police and DOPA to take action against establishments breaking the booze ban by serving in cups to circumvent the law.. 

 

Action was also to be taken against music being played and staff not wearing their masks.

 

Hua Hin was supposed to have been opened to foreign tourists at the start of last month but virtually none have arrived, notes ASEAN NOW.

Can you <deleted> blame them ?

Absolutely pathetic rules laid down by incompetent authorities.

[ThailandRyan]

Guess the governor has been reading the AseaNow OPS and posts where every bargoer, barfly has expounded how they get around the serving alcohol issues.  I do not feel one bit sorry that this has occurred.

This Geezer has obviously never been to any Thai Funerals; where the Booze is in Jugs under the tables and is poured into Coffee Mugs to drink !

[khunPer]

Should be moved to an inactive post immediately for incompetence being unaware of what everybody else knows is going on.

Wouldn't it be better to Order the cops to do their job and start enforcing the Law on the traffic on the road and Corruption? That will safe more lives then a couple mugs of alcohol .

Yes, the entire fixation on alcohol is coming down from this self-appointed moral guardian leader...moronfest.

[bluejets]

Hehehe,....where there's a will there's a way.

Can't tell me "they" didn't see that coming.

[brucegoniners]

Booze in coffee mugs? Oh no! I thought all those people were just drinking coffee...

[jvs]

Last week in Kanchanaburi the bars were open and it looked liked covid had never been there.Why over there open and not in Hua-hin?

Playing music is against the law now? I thought only the Taliban forbade that.

I used to stay at Top Marks as well until I bought my condo. It was a fun place in a great location. New ownership now renamed Sophia the original owners moved to a new guest house in Cha-Am. Might have been on account of a religious holiday or King’s BD.

[Stargeezr]

Who did this governor pay to have his position?  Is he a relative of the great General PM?

  If this the best that the Hua Hin and Cha Am area could get for a governor?

    What a tea totaller kind of guy is this geezer?
