Officers from Ao Nang police station were called to investigate reports of a public gathering at a house in the sub district in Krabi. They arrived at the scene to find a house party with eight people outside the back of a house, in violation of Krabi’s Emergency Decree lockdown to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
The group comprised four Thai women aged 28-45 and four Scandinavian men – Norwegian nationals aged 62 and 63, and Swedes aged 65 and 74. Police found them with assorted alcoholic beverages, soda water, carbonated drinks and a bucket of ice.
The group were charged with violating the Emergency Decree on Public Administration BE2548, which prohibits public assembly or any act that disturbs public peace and order.
In the MEANtime, the ROYAL THAI POLICE, oh so high in moral and respected, cannot find the hit-and-run driver that I provided them with the registration number, owner ID and description of the driver, they cannot find the murderer of the activist in north, they cannot find Red Bull killer-heir, they cannot find the muggers of the activist in Bangkok, they cannot resolve this and that.
It is all about priorities you see!
(Is this kind of a news a surprise in Thailand?! NOT!)
