27 people were arrested last night, April 16-17 across Chiang Mai Province for various coronavirus offenses on the 13th day since the introduction of the curfew.
In a bizarre case, seven younger people were arrested by Chang Phueak Police for getting together and partying in breach of social distancing rules but it didn’t stop there – they were also charged with illegal gambling and violating the curfew.
The gambling game they were playing involved a deck of cards and is described as “Pok Peng Beng.” Photos from the scene show that they were playing for money.

The total of those arrested in Chiang Mai now sits at 434.
