Popular Post wazzupnow Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) well it was to be expected seeing the uselesness of thai police here in CM who spend their time collecting traffic tickets in stead of tracking down the forest burners now are closing their eyes on the new bars opening here in Chiang Mai what bars u say? here in my area there are a lot of liquor stores that sell whiskey per shot now just behind my place there is this very loud and talentless karaoke bar that had to close because of curfew and bar rules finally peace returns here, BUTT next door there are 2 liquor shops where now starting 8 am all thais are sitting on their motorcycles and tuk tuks,not even 50 cm apart not wearing mask drinking untill they drop,splatting their drunk conversations to each other this goes on 7 days a week untill 10 pm and no police ever stops there ( or may be for a shot of whisky?)even they pass there 1 once a month to collect the 300 bht they charge for?? this again shows rules are useless if you have useless officers on the force rules rules rules but who cares?

This is unfortunately the way it is ( mostly ). Maybe offering the police 1000 ThB a month, for closing this 2 liquor shops could work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you should know that collecting bribe money is considered by the police as a part of their job, and so is by most of the natives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems selfish for people to dictact to others what they can do and cant do whilst spreading the flu and killing others.

bkk6060 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Sounds like a parking lot party. Why don't you call the police yourself? One place in the city where 99% of it is lockdown. But, the underlying tone of your post is your condo location which is poor, and seems subject to constant noise issues.

It seems selfish for people to dictact to others what they can do and cant do whilst spreading the flu and killing others. Highly hypocritical. COVID-19, the illness caused by coronavirus, proves deadly in around 3.5 percent of confirmed cases. While this is not the same as its mortality rate, given many people may be infected but not realise it, it is significantly higher than seasonal flu, which typically kills 0.1 percent of patients. "There is still considerable uncertainty around the fatality rates of COVID-19 and it likely varies depending on the quality of local healthcare," said Francois Balloux, Professor of Computational Systems Biology at University College London. "That said, it is around two percent on average, which is about 20 times higher than for the seasonal flu lineages currently in circulation." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone dies from flu or corona it makes no difference. Odd logic to condone flu spreaders but attack people for going outside even though they don't even have Corona. Very very strange logic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
