If you want to be treated like a small child, which is obviously appropriate according to your posts in this forum, then it's fine. Let the adults have their alcohol if they want to - they are old enough to decide for themselves ! and the reasons are because it only takes some drunken idiot to one punch someone or cause a death somehow and then laws get put in place that affect the common sense folks. There is no accountability anymore .... no self responsibility ..... oh I was drunk .... or oh i was on drugs or whatever. just saying .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB1986 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 They are smashing only business which foreigners visited its obvious. So actually welcome to the paradise for retirees and all others where you cannot light up cigarette, where you cannot drink beer, where you just wondering when another curfew will appear, very good job Thailand is obvious what PM and Junta want to do under the curtain of Covid-19, they dont care about how many people lose jobs, they want to get rid of all foreigners and make paradise for Chinese brothers.

Casa Pascal, my favourite brekky resto is one that cannot smoking inside. Its very relaxing place to sit down as no loud music or loud customers. Feels like its not Thailand at all. Red car disco/bar in walking street is one as well. I trust there's more but seems to be that gogo licence is already including smoking inside the premises or they all buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I have ate in Frasers restaurant lounge, in South Pattaya and did not see anyone smoke. Good food there even steaks and pork chops. Also ate in many restaurants in Jomtien and did not see many smokers in them. As for bars I have been in a few with smokers but with the fans and good ventilation I was not bothered.

Oldie Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The question is why are laws not enforced in Pattaya. Let's take Tree Town. Before Corona there was not much care about closing times (some bars were still open at sunrise) and even the forbidden Shisha was sold openly. Either forget the laws or the law enforcement.

This sounds like some of the recently reopened bars maybe haven’t been quick enough to pay the required smoking bribes…which have, in all probability, been significantly raised to make up for lost police revenue. And a ban on "Advertising alcohol consumption" is just one more coercive shakedown to keep the police fat and happy. It's obvious the police are setting an example of anyone who isn’t showing the right attitude. Good Thai citizens are expected to fully cooperate with official extortion. and when WAS DAY ONE ????
