Pattaya-area police arrested 25 foreigners at two pool villas for partying in violation of the emergency decree.
Banglamung police apprehended 13 Filipinos, six Russian, two French nationals and a Briton, Canadian, Albanian and Cambodian, along with three Thais, just before midnight April 25 in East Pattaya.
The two groups were ratted out by neighbors who feared the parties would turn into Covid-19 superspreader events.
Many of the foreigners arrested claimed they were unaware their gatherings were illegal. While there is no curfew in Pattaya, large gatherings and home parties are prohibited under the current emergency decree.
