Eighteen foreign tourists were today detained by Thai police for partying at a rented house on Pha-ngan Island, home to the popular full-moon parties, in violation of state of emergency restrictions.

 

Police, from Koh Pha-ngan police station in Thailand’s Surat Thani province, raided the house after a tip-off from the village head, saying that many foreign tourists were regularly gathering for drinks parties.

 

Arriving at the scene, police found 17 motorcycles parked in front of the house and heard loud music coming from inside the residence.  Police then entered the house and found bottles of liquor, a computer notebook and a sound system on the second floor.  No illegal items were found.

"No illegal items were found."  So if nothing was found....why even bring it up?

"The Russian tenant of the house claimed that he had merely invited some friends round for a drink and chat.

Police later escorted the foreigners, including the tenant, to the police station to be charged with violating the ban on social gatherings, intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

 

Well there you go then...  deport em...  problem solved... They'll never spread the virus again (in this country...)

I guess the problem with your question regards the lack of understanding of the emergency decree in this country as well as the breaking of social distancing and illegal gathering.

this lockdown is a joke. ALL my neighbours are noisey and blind drunk all night. Counting 60+ cars passing our house within a 3hour period and we are the second last house on the street. No one in the entire community wears masks, cares about the curfew, etc. However foreigners are still being targeted. This is a fn joke!! My family is doing the right thing and havent left home for over a month and now the outside world has actualy become more uncivilized and dangerous but not so obvious to most. There is more illegal logging, burning of land, farming government land, local government people stealing all the government handouts and food, etc...

Is the governemnt that broke that they need to extort foreigners only and pertray them constantly in a netative light. If the countries so bad why is the transfer rate so dam bad.

Fatty sell your watches...

sorry went a bit off topic...

This country is so much following China. Good luck with that! Even thais are starting to hate them. Like looking in a mirror

Would give Motley Crue a run for their money by the sounds of it!

Especially that computer notebook, 

Don't overdose on Wikipedia articles will you!

Well make the call and have it checked out, include the fact that you have seen foreigners coming and going, it of course wouldn't be a lie.....

Niet,  you mean “pretty short time”...

[AhFarangJa 10,568]

Not condoning the Foreigners actions, but if it was a house full of Thai locals then the village dick  Head would have probably done nothing.

I went along to the local 7 for milk yesterday at about 2 p.m., and passed at least three groups of locals, drinking, socialising around single tables, and not one wearing a mask. That was only along a two kilometre stretch of road. The hypocrisy developing here is mind blowing.
