Do any of the expat board members ever wander out there to check these things ?

I suppose going in the bar is risky if covid is circulating.

Risky if the police are circulating, I'd have thought.

Price elasticity might be a factor here.
I reckon the police are incentivized to charge tea money at a rate low enough to ensure there is a certain level of re-offending, so more tea money can be charged in future.
Why else are so many other laws ignored ?
Admittedly, over the years, they seem to have hit the Sunnee bars harder than some of the other entertainment in the city.

This is not what I have heard. An ex-pat bar that had a few people inside that were drinking alcohol out of coffee cups, were fined (Trump) bigly. As I understand it, the owner faces prison or even deportation.

As this is a provincial decree the provincial police have been cracking down hard on Pattaya bars and restaurants ignoring the decree, it is way out of the tea money local bib usual routine.

Earlier in the year there were a few bars selling alcohol in coffee cups, in glasses with a decoy can of sprite put on the table, or in some cases with no disguise. I've also seen the local BIB walk right past open massage shops, when they were not permitted to open.
So I presume businesses were not getting big fines at the time.

Sounds like it is changing now.

Yes expats check these things and bars are not open.
