Popular Post frantick Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 I don't know, maybe SD's don't go to bars/pubs. I'm amazed at the number of SD's on this site given the nature of traveling and or living in a near 3rd world country. Anyway, when the bars, (pubs if you're not here in Thailand), open up will you be going? This under the most likely scenario that they open before a vaccine is available. I'm a forced SD'er, so will visit the bar with my girlfriend the first day they're open. Hoping I don't have to pull a mask off my face to sip my cocktail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlexRich Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 I suspect the bars will still get their regular customers, but I don’t think the tourist traffic will pick up anytime soon, only when people are convinced that the virus is no longer a threat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did not like farangs lately, watch and see what will happen in regards to xenophobia in Thailand, encouraged by mother China's rhetoric, in reference to covid-19. Suits uncle P well also, more anti westerner ammunition. As if Ai Anutin's remarks were not enough. Edited April 14, 2020 by lkv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sure, they will return. They want to go now even w/o SD. Just read all the past posts from the drinkers who think booze kills the virus. They seem to actually believe it. It would all be one big crowded party if they had their way and probably will be with any relaxing of the restrictions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets in and who won't will depend on certain income streams, and yes, it will probably be the Chinese as the Thai government is not interested in their own people, more interested in buying submarines while people who lose their businesses could find it hard to survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 To return to a bar, you should already have been there once ... Which is not my case and certainly that of many members of this forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one of the great benefits of wearing a mask (apart from the health ones, that is) will be to be able to go where you want without anyone knowing who you are! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I actually bumped into the owner of the bar I used to frequent pre Covid-19 shut down, suffice to say I told him that I haven't had a beer since 20 March, he looked at me as if to say, are you feeling ok, then he told me he couldn't buy any alcohol, anywhere and was running low on stock for himself. When he does re-open, I will be there as I enjoy the local catch up and BS 3 nights a week, unfortunately no girls at the bar, it's one of those, if I allow girls in here I will lose all of my customers because the wives will be kicking up a storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanos Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I think that if one has been "religiously" practicing social distancing (SD), then I kind of think that the habit will tend to stick, even after a health authority declares the "all clear". Not such a bad thing, in my opinion. It means what it says, not that one must continue wearing masks, latex gloves and swabbing everything down.
