Sova is open. As for bars open? I don't know the answer. Some of the bars that remain really never closed as the back door was used to get in. What is legally open now? A regular bar goer will have to answer. But the few bars that are still on the strip are just that a few

Even pre-Covid the Strip was struggling.

The bottom half were mostly closed, the top half open but the price cartel put many off.

Maybe they should just make Alcohol illegal and let the population smoke weed legally, Problems solved ????????????

Perhaps that is what he is aiming to do

It's all part of the grand scheme to control the masses.

I'm sure Anutin gets a cut even for every facemask sold

They didn't specify but the response from many people posting in Pattaya were paying from 300, surprisingly a lot paying 500.

 

If it was optional I don't think anyone would mind

The old chestnut about compulsory caddies,  then the obligatory tip to someone you didn't even want to have in the first place. 

A tip is usually offered as appreciation for good service,  which is not always the case with some caddies

On Facebook apparently caddies complaining about 300 tip, now expect 500-700 baht, so add that to the all in prices quoted

Which course / courses ?

"Drinking alcohol does not help prevent Covid-19 or limit symptoms" 

 

... but apparently some are concerned alcohol consumption on voting day may lead to adverse results, hence needs to be banned ...

Pointless, as the results are known weeks before the day

seems like some people of influence is making huge amounts of money from covid and want it to continue, that is the only conclusion I can come too - it has to be about money

What absolute rubbish.

 

Emirates are running a normal schedule to Moscow, any Russian can easily get home.  As for Ukraine, that’s a different matter.

 

I’m appalled by the tourism industry here, especially the 5* hotels run by Western General Managers. Zero statements supporting Ukraine and condemning Russia.  Organisation’s like SKAL are conspicuous by their failure to even mention the genocide and war crimes going on in Ukraine. As long as the Russians have money, they are welcome everywhere here.

Except my businesses in Chiang Rai, we’ve taken a stand and banned Russian citizens.

 

what a complete lack of morals we are seeing in the Hotel Industry, appalling!

Are there many Russians in CR?? 

Thought they only went to beach areas

I've renewed my 5 year twice in Pattaya, never provided or was asked for a medical certificate.

this was my 4th renewal, previously it was 50/50 whether they wanted it. 

Now it is mandatory

Is this your first 5 year license?  If not you should not need a medical certificate anymore.  I only needed one for my temporary license and the first 5 year license.  But not to renew the 5 year license.

Pattaya require a medical certificate for renewals. 

Did mine 2 weeks ago 

This sounds like it's aimed at Thai and Malaysian nationals. 

And foreigners would still need the Thailand Pass to enter??

Hello ,

 

Aunutin better start ramping up testing with expectations like this  ???? 

And increase his cut of the test kit price

1530 baht for Greenwood is well overpriced. Our group were playing there every week until high season, now we play Burapha (1100 bt all-in) and Pattavia.

Until November, rates at most courses were around 1000 bt all-in, but then "high season" cane along and rates have spiralled.

Empty car parks should tell courses that we will vote with our feet and find better value.

I am told that Emerald have now reduced their rate from 1450 to 1150 as they were empty most days. Still not the 950 we were paying until November, but a step in the right direction.

Have you been on LK Metro at night?  At least 5 gogos are open, music playing, drinks being served and ladies available.

No, was down a couple of weeks ago in the afternoon and only a few bars were open.

Friends who live in the area say it's busier at night, but go-go's as they were are not open.
