Pdoggg Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 More than 100 people, a mix of Thais and foreigners, have been arrested in a South Pattaya raid. The two restaurants in question had, according to police, secretly become bars and shisha lounges. By Thai law all bars and entertainment venues were currently closed nationwide. The arrest follows Pattaya police being notified from tips from what they described as local anonymous concerned citizens as they were reportedly concerned about the Covid -19 situation and chance of the virus potentially spreading. From midnight to around 2:00 A.M. this morning (June 26th) a team from the Chonburi Provincial Police led by Colonel Santi Kornkasem and the Pattaya City Police raided two places which are the ‘The Garden 168’ and ‘Mo Salah’ bar and restaurant starting at 11:30 P.M with the Garden and ending with Mo Salah around 1:00 A.M. 121 Thais and foreigners were reportedly found drinking alcohol, socializing and mingling without masks or social distancing, and using shisha and similar smoking devices at the places. The shisha was only found at the Mo Salah location. Police arrested 29 people from ‘The Garden 168’ and 72 from ‘Mo Salah’. Additionally 20 more people allegedly drinking and gathering in groups on Pattaya beach nearby were also arrested for violation of Covid-19 rules such as social distancing. At Mo Salah it took nearly twenty minutes for police to successfully gain entry where the majority of the people were in a special vip area on an upper floor according to police. Several people attempted to hide from police, including under discarded branches, in restrooms, and on nearby rooftops but all were caught according to Chonburi police. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 5 of those caught in the raid tested positive for Covid. The guy hiding in the leaves might have poison ivy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
