Thailand may impose curfew again if people do not cooperate

By Pattaya Mail

 

  

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

 

BANGKOK – The government can impose the night-time curfew again if people fail to cooperate with disease control measures, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said.

 

He sent the message in response to the report that young motorcyclists gathered for illegal street races last night, the first night after the curfew was lifted.
 

“The teenagers who gathered for the bike races are the people who did not cooperate. The society and parents must be helpful. If this continues and people fail to control themselves, the curfew will be re-announced,” Gen Prayut said.

“100% freedom may not happen due to health restrictions,” he said

 

Admit is, it has <deleted> all to do with health now, it is purely about control !

There will never be 100% freedom under this regime.

I wonder if threatening the plebs gets the elite "leaders" sexually aroused?  They all definitely seem to enjoy dictating order and threatening the populace as though they are all Big Daddy and the public are all petulant children in need of scolding and reprimands.

No curfew will probably bring the motorbike racers back out creating problems where ever they go

these are thais and tourists; neither group will co-operate

[ukrules]

Clarity at last, it's nothing to do with health - it's a punishment applied to the entire population for something a few kids on motorcycles did which annoyed the glorious one.

 

[mr mr]

hear hear. stamp out this problem before it becomes a problem PM. we are behind you and support whatever you need to do to curtail this reckless behavior.

Bring back the curfew, because of a few unruly teenagers?  You freaking kidding?  Isn't this just a job for local plod?

[vermin on arrival]

How are drag races any more of a threat to infection from covid than any other group activity? For sure while they are racing social distancing will be going on.

 

"He thanked the business people who implemented more disease control measures than what the government required." And here we have the explanation for why everyone is competing for extreme measures to curry favor.

What local plod? The chocolate teapot group?

Catching the motorcyclists and crushing their motorbikes would work - only problem is the local plod don't work.

What is the connection between illegal street racers and the disease.

 

The sooner we are rid of this idiot and his equally idiotic chums the better.

No it isn't, but when you see the effort they put into stopping people on the roads and highways just so they can fine people for no helmets or no driving license, then you know where their priorities lie.

60,000,000 people might be locked down because of some misbehaving teenagers on motorbikes??............Well then pretty much any infraction under the sun would be a good reason for a lock down....

Just at about 3 in the afternoon I saw something here in Central Pattaya I will not forget. In the outside area of a bar there were many very small tables where people could sit. All tables were occupied by old Farangs and each of them had a big bottle of beer in front of him. I guess there were about 20 people sitting very close together. It is a bar and normally it is very empty. Perhaps they have a restaurant license but no food was at any table. If I understood it correctly the alcohol sales times are also valid for restaurants. So they sold alcohol outside this time. So the government decides and the people don't care. A very "unhealthy" situation.

This really is the type of cr*p that a DI does to his 'boots' in basic training.  One moron screws up and you punish 80 guys. 

So, a few kids take to the streets after being penned up for two months and you lock the entire country down.  Sounds like military intelligence reining supreme.  Hummm ????

i'm interested to know if this is true or not

[dinsdale]

Pathetic. Pity your police are inept. Guess they mirror the govt. Sorry I cant control my police force to deal with situations like this so I have to take a big stick to the entire population. Anyone with half a brain could see how bad this makes themselves look. 

[tomacht8]

Reminds me of threats in kindergarten from under-educated social workers.
 

[Paiman]

I had a similar facemask on a few weeks back.

 

After a while my brain did not get enough oxygen to work properly.

 

My Missus told me a day later, after putting on that face mask the previous day I was just talking utter nonsense. And I did not even notice.

Good job by Khun Prayut Chan O Cha,  he just reminding everyone that social distance and mask wearing need to be taken seriously. I see some farang walking around without a mask, which is irresponsible or just plain stupid .....  but after seeing all the vandal idiots at BLM protest everywhere not wearing masks ... nothing surprises me anymore. Folks have lost the plot.

I think your referring to what's called a chaff bag, normally placed on a horses halter at dinner time.

But ...no,  he's wearing a specially made stripped version.

I agree. Good job. It is a pity though all the promised money to help people happened for only a small percentage of those in need. Of course there's more promised money and that's going to go to a very few already fat pockets. So yes, well done. It is a shame this benevolant junta govt doesn't have enough money to have really helped the millions  who have been suffering.

Hi this is the thai government speaking to you, today is hulahoopday everyone has to spin it at least 214 times so the wind will scare away the virus, if you do not comply we will shut the alcohol supply for a week and you can only sit on the beach when you bring a hamburger.

 

Every 2 days new rules, new nonsense and scare mongering, i hope they get enough of those crazy idiots here and get on the street with 2 or 3 million in Bangkok. You can bring every regime down with enough people, the army will turn to the people and the clowns will have to flee to Bali.
