brain150 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I guess we have to wait if Bill Gates agrees or not. Obviously he is calling the shots, not any Government. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2020 This would be amazing. Lockdown has worked, the incubation period for the virus has long passed, and it is safe to go outdoors again. If this thing were going to blow up, it would have happened a month ago. Millions need to get back to work. Let them work. Let them eat. Let them live. Let us live again. Whatever the authorities have done, has worked. Now, let us get on with our lives. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sprouting total c@ap as usual. Although they said tennis, golf and badminton, what they really meant was "muay Thai", in stadiums controlled by those who want to buy new tanks and guns.

There's a nice open air rooftop restaurant in Sukhumvit soi 11 on the top of Fraser's Suites building which serves delicious Peruvian Nikkei cuisine, it's called "#Above Eleven": you should try it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot will be said for staying closed and for opening, but at some point people will have to get back to some kind of normal life, masks, gels, temperature checks & social distancing will be normal from now on. Mostly the public will have the greater role, they can't just return to the old way of doing things, but shop owners who break the distancing rules etc should be automatically closed again with the owners penalised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well, someone is in the know. I went to Tesco this morning and some of the external counters (mobile phones etc.) were being uncovered and it looked like stuff that had been stored was being wheeled out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand has far more non-air conditioned restaurants than those that have it. Some restaurants also have areas with and areas without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sprouting total c@ap as usual. Tennis is played in teams of 2-4 players; never more. In the vast majority of cases, if an average person plays tennis they will have just one other playing partner with them and no spectators, so the point made in the article is valid.

markpbfree Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Remember, it only took one case to get this virus started. I hope they have sense enough to wait until this thing is under better control.

At this point I am just about all focussed on beer sales and couldn't care much less about Songkran or even the curfew. Ball cap hides the long hair just fine.

If that is the case it would be completely absurd if anything "air-con" restaurants are much more likely to provide proper hygiene standards than "non-aircon". The way to go is no more than x amount of people per sqm but the incompetent prayut govenment is clueless to what they are doing. The paranoia is surreal in Thailand and more people are catching up to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central air con is dangerous as dirty air, mold, dead bugs in ductwork, etc gets blown around and re-circulated. But so many restaurants and hotels use ductless Air Con which are the cleanest general type. That is one of the things I liked about Thailand. Later this year I will be putting in one or two units in my place in Florida. I like the redundancy they have, i.e. one unit could fail and you still have another to keep things habitable until you get things fixed up. The air source is clean.
