webfact Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Pattaya: Tourists continue to violate beach ban, but Thai media provide no evidence Thai media 77kaoded published a story that said tourists and Thais collecting shellfish continued to flout the Covid-19 beach ban. They had pictures of clear signage in many languages that threatened jail and 100,000 baht fines. They said the authorities were out in force all over the area at nine spots enforcing the law that has been eased to allow certain exercise on the beach road but not use of the sands. Picture: 77kaoded However the media did not provide evidence of violations of the ban either in pictures or text in a report that purported to be an investigation into the latest situation in the beach in Pattaya. They had pictures of a few policemen patrolling and sitting in a tent but quoted no one and gave no pertinent details of infringements, notes Thaivisa.

Guderian Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 They're just back to farang bashing, nothing new. Keep calm and carry on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousKen Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 If they do not want tourists gathering in groups and maybe passing on the virus, open the airports and borders so they can leave, or do they want these tourists trapped spending money.

The airports are open for departures, not sure about land borders, but there is nothing stopping you leaving if you really want to..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are flights out available at the moment. Emirates and Qatar seem to fly in daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmaster Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Must be fake. Walking mornings and evenings no one have I seen violating the beach ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood1 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 There is only one solution really.....Get bulldozers out there and push the brand new beach back into the sea so no one can ever use the beach again... This should bring a smile to the authorities who seem to be beach haters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fantastic view of pattaya beach and since the tape has gone up, the only things I see walking on the beach are the Soi Dogs...the walkway is a different story but the sand? The dogs own that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobe Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Their "evidence" is 3 russians caught swimming and a sad individual from this forum that took a video of four people sat on steps on the beach promenade but not in the beach itself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
