webfact Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 By Adam Judd Pattaya, Thailand - Pattaya police continued what have become daily raids across the city and Banglamung designed to enforce strict new rules in place that Pattaya City officials say are meant to help stop the spread of Covid-19. Currently, bars, nightlife, and entertainment venues have been legally closed since April of 2021 due to Covid-19. However, these venues have recently been given permission by the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, or CCSA, in Bangkok to legally become converted restaurants temporarily. This change, however, requires them to be shut firmly by 9:00 PM, go through a certification process, and change their appearance and overall setting to meet strict new Covid rules. They are also supposed to check customers with rapid antigen Covid19 tests before entry. At just before midnight yesterday, January 15th, 2022, Pattaya Police led by Pol.Maj. Gen. Kongpol Techakamphu, received a tip from a concerned citizen that the Box 69 Club in South Pattaya near the Soi Bongkot area was secretly operating as a nightclub and breaking Covid-19 rules set by the CCSA and the Chonburi Communicable Disease Committee.

Popular Post hotchilli Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 "Major General Kongpol gained permission to contact a locksmith to gain entry to the building as staff inside refused to unlock the doors. This took some time, but once police gained entry with the assistance of a local locksmith they found dozens of people inside drinking, socializing, and allegedly breaking Covid-19 rules like not wearing masks or social distancing." Play by the rules and you can open... do the above and get arrested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rtco Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Get real Thailand. There is no way to stop Omicron so just let it rip, give us all immunity and let it become endemic. I'm waiting for China's Zero Covid Policy to be decimated soon. I also believe the UK are going to lift all restrictions on 26th January. Let us just get on with our lives 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the customers were alerted that the wolf was at the door giving them time to don masks; move apart & replace beer with a bottle of water? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get what you're saying. It's all about control, like many other 'rules' in Thailand that serve no other purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
