The Bang Lamung district chief said yesterday that any entertainment establishment that defies the coronavirus closure order will be prosecuted.

 

Amnat Charoensri and his teams had been out spreading the news about the ban and he said some claimed to have not heard about it. 

 

From now on there can be no excuses - violators can be jailed for a year and/or fined 100,000 baht. 

 

All entertainment venues such as beer bars, pubs, clubs, discos, boxing stadiums, cock fighting, gyms, massage parlors and spas have been ordered shut at least until March 31st.

Cock fighting? Thought that was illegal.

They need to close anywhere busy otherwise what's the point of the order?

Various Thai roadway and traffic laws have been flouted for years, some that have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths per year, and too numerous to count, serious injuries. Flouting is a national past time.

On paper it is illegal like so many other things in Thailand. But in reality they are all ok to practice lol. Brown envelops have turned many a blind eye also

It takes place in the open and I think the fighting as such is not forbidden, it's "only" betting that is forbidden?

Sure, without betting it is so boring

Similar to card playing?

I rode past soi buakhao market today which looked open as usual. I would have thought there would be a potential hazard for anyone not wishing to take any chances

Just seems wrong when all the other areas  are ghost towns.

I think today's announcement of more closures in Bangkok will  put a stop to the market pretty soon..what will al those Russians be doing instead ?

[Longchop]

Market owner is friend of Suthep and one of Prayuts appointed politicions so local police can run around making sure that all the small open air beer bars that were already struggling to make ends meet stay closed but they have no power against mr hi so market owner

[scubascuba3]

I hear restaurants will shut soon, maybe Monday, delivery only

[Longchop]

Only small poor restaurant owners will be shut, last night for the very first time ever my local hi so restaurant owner had put on live music  to entertain his DINERS until 2am

Just shut everything except pharmacies and essential food stores with controls on what you can buy..

Stick a big headline in BKK newspapers that all entertainment is shut down.

Stop the weekend trips that people from outside pattaya do.

If someone has been running a bar for two or three years and can't afford a two week shut down then they have no business sense.

If you're an expat then stay home with your wife and kids for a couple of weeks

It isn't going to be stopped but it can be slowed.

If you can't handle being with your wife only for two weeks then I won't comment on that.
