webfact Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 By Goong Nang(GN) Pattaya – Police arrested a total of seven “restaurant” managers last night (January 11th) across Pattaya for breaking Covid-19 rules and violating the current 9 PM closing time, according to statements given to TPN media. The current 9PM closing time is a nationwide direction from the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration for “BLUE” zones that are allowed to sell alcohol at “restaurants”. The focus is primarily on venues that are former bars or entertainment venues and have been given permission to convert to “restaurants”. Restaurants not serving alcohol may close at their normal time, although must stop serving completely at 9PM. TPN media notes that we have had reports of some proper restaurant owners claiming that they were told to close at 9 PM as well and notes that according to Pattaya Police they are focused on venues that “look” like bars, pubs, clubs, or entertainment venues, with socializing and drinking the focus over eating. Unfortunately, this means that mileage may vary based on individual law enforcement officers.

Andycoops Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Was bound to happen as it's just a red rag to the BiB. However the usual Thai fudge on licensing, certificates etc etc is also contributing to the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 This is such an unbelievable bit of nonsense. Why not spend their time fighting real crime? Because that is simply not something they do! They are simply local franchisees who represent a morally bankrupt administration, posing as puritans, and by hitting the nightlife, they are cracking down on a financial pillar of contemporary Thai society. How does a reasonable person even respond to this? Best to not respond at all. Fake purity in the worst possible form. Not convincing on any level. This is merely about fake Quakers attempting to deceive the masses. Having said all that, I would prefer the cops here, over the ones back home in the US, unless there is a real need for one. Then, it is roll of the dice. At least the cops here stay out of my face, and when they do hassle me, I push back alot. I mouth off to them, I raise my voice, and I make a real stink, if they are engaging in "petty mordida". Usually they back down, and if not I give them 200 baht. Rarely more than that. Impossible to do in the US. And if you need law enforcement, outstanding forensics, or a good detective, you can get it back there. Not here. Not likely. DUI? How about pulling people over for reckless driving? The police here are not law enforcement. They are revenue collection agents. Plain and simple. I treat them as such, and offer them very little regard or respect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
