It would have been blown up already, especially if it was on the River Kwai.

Curious, why were the customers not arrested this time, too much paperwork  for BIB or maybe they didn't want that publicity given the current climate and the fact Pattaya could be a wasteland by the time they lift this ridiculous alcohol ban.

Perhaps the customers were all policeman knowing full well nothing would happen to them

It's like a London Bobby saying "Stop...or I'll be forced to tell you to stop again"

oh the horror, people knowing the risks and choosing to assume them.  good thing the police are there to remind them they arnt really free

Why is this news? Reporting each and every incident is getting tiresome. Who really cares anyway?

[Cathat]

a small contribution to the police benevolent fund should clear up this  misunderstanding.nothing to see here.

[HiuMak]

Admire the restaurant's persistence.

I care if people like that prolong this mess of a pandemic and its rules and restrictions.  Fine them a few million Baht and maybe they will get the message that Covid is not a joke

Not worth replying to

Maybe if they shut the place down for a week, they'd get the message.

Didn't know you had to wear a mask whilst eating and drinking and sit 2m away from each other..... me thinks this is why no arrests made, because it wouldn't get anywhere and they would have to test every drink for alcohol and prove it was the customer's.

 

Easier to prove the restaurant is serving alcohol or allowing it to be consumed.

The beatings shall continue, randomly, until morale improves.

Maybe because it is a restaurant?

The message is clear. The days of Thailand catering to barflys is over.

 

Theyd rather have less money than go back to the way things were. Dont tell me about people losing jobs. The alcohol industry harms way more than it contributes. 

The average Thai Person feels embarassed for the drunken slobs that used to come in droves and is more than willing to sacrifice the 500bt they spend at the pub and 400bt on a scummy guesthouse in order to clean up their countrys reputation.

If you're offended by this then youre probably the type of person theyre trying to dissuade from coming.

Much better to become a small obedient servant country to Chinese tourists and factory owners. That is the way forward!
