That would be ideal.

Should have enough to get me through!

Lightweight.

That is very optimistic.
I expect pubs to open when a vaccine is developed. At least 1 year.
If they open pubs earlier, the infections will quickly increase.

 

 

 

That would be great if it took a lot longer..... many bar owners I know makes me hard thinking they are now ruined !!

It's irrelevant when the bars are allowed to reopen without the customers having the confidence to return in their droves it will make it nigh impossible to have a financially viable business and it will not be worth the headache of opening too soon ... I can see a slow staggered reopening of venues over several months  and maybe upto 2 years + for Pattaya to return to its former glory days ....and many bars will never reopen again.

I think restaurants with no booze May 1.  Distance rules.

Bars June 1.

I hope you are right, but just don't see it happening that quickly... 

Question is how many will reopen?

Damage will be considerable...

Don't have everything to do with my Thai family there behind a big wall so I wouldn't know what there doing.

I agree......I've seen conjecture that many will be taken over by big investment groups who will still have funds.

That would NOT be desirable - here in UK we've lost many of the old independent pubs which are now owned by breweries or turned into fancy restaurants.

Not good

I'm not. 

I like walking to a final destination (that being the pub).

Kinda like a reward for walking a long way.

Not the same when there is not an ice cold pint at the end of it.

Put 2 ice cold beers in a ice pack. Jump in the car or bike, drive 2 km away from your house, any direction.... pick a spot then drop your beers of. Then drive home... then go and have a nice walk to your beers. When you arrive at your spot drink 1 beer, then drink the other one on your walk back.... nice day out for you

I would guess July. Keep these same measures in place throughout May and then gradually begin opening up places like shopping malls, offices etc from June. 

Schools and work places would be best to get things rolling, with bars and malls last.

December....  Opening fir the next "High Season" ..

.... okay,  really - no clue, depending upon how the virus comes out.

But I did just throw many into depressing mode..  ????

Same as the airports and mass tourism. The bars are irrelevant, when countries like China are quarantining people for 2 weeks they won't be going anywhere any time soon.

 

I think they will be open in May but with permanent restrictions; social distancing, no alcohol, no food etc.

Yes, back in the late 70's early 80's. Glorious times for a Liverpudlian born teenager living in Saudi Arabia escaping for R&R.

I was there in 1974... it was a dusty little dirt road that ran through some bungalows.. nothing much going on.

So do i but with a little imagination, it's possible to invent walks depending on where you live of course. Yes it's boring but you can always have your beer when you get home.

 

And why people are confused over my earlier thread is beyond me - yes walk is better with a beer but the walk is the important thing

You should start your own YouTube vlog.............????

Well I hope for your sake its before the Premier League announces that the 2019/20 season is null and void.

Ouch that will hurt Liverpool fan lol. Maybe not as much as if Klopp had not whinged his way into a winter break Liverpool would have already won the League lol. (sorry mate, couldn't resist) Even worse it could be cancelled and he can't drown his sorrows !

Why would any owner open his bar (pub) if he could not sell alcohol? 

Like opening back up a Starbucks, but it won't be selling any coffee - haha
