Thai government lists three types of business which will reopen first

 

 

As the COVID-19 situation in Thailand gradually improves, the National Infectious Disease Committee has approved the limited reopening of three types of business.

 

The first are businesses which provide life’s basic necessities, including non-air conditioned barber shops, wet markets and open-air food shops.

 

The second type are those with a large customer base and have an impact on the economy, such as shopping malls, restaurants and Thai massage parlors. The third type are those which help to improve health, such as fitness centres, gyms and spas.

Great stuff .. Now you can get the locks shorn , buy some bat's , get some chow in a restaurant , have a massage with a possible half shandy and if you've still got any energy left go and flog yourself in the gym .. Can't wait ...

They should really be paying the 5k for 6 months+, opening massage shops but with no customers won't help enough

Restaurants, malls and massages - all places where Chinese, Koreans and Taiwanese like to spend their money, starting in June.

When will the funny businesses open that's all most of us want to know????

They did not mention one bullet proof business...free lancing...all one needs is as cell phone and a desire to serve others...????

Not sure if anyone knows but the overseas parcel post deliveries has stopped dead for the last few weeks  and like a million parcels from overseas are dumped somewhere in " protection time" waiting to be proceeded...

Spas. Great then!

All areas where spread can increase. Good job.

Happy days are hear again, Ms Palmer getting a well deserved rest, happy endings back.

You do know that 90% of massage shops is Thai on Thai? There are many Thais who live paycheck to paycheck but there are also many who have money who no doubt will enjoy returning to their massages. Outside of tourist areas there is a whole Thailand out there who have plenty of massage shops who will be pleased to open and welcome back local clientele. 

 

Not everything revolves around tourism for much of the country.

Yes, I noticed, as 2 friends said they were unable to send international mail to or from Thailand, from Germany and to France. But I can't find any more info. Doesn't seem to be any official announcement.

 

And what about imports and exports? Chinese goods on Lazada?

Where you'll find the worst drunken singers in Thailand lining up to sing on the loud speaker. Can hardly wait.????

Wet market? Didn’t this goddam thing start in a frigging Chinese wet market?

The first are businesses which provide life’s basic necessities, including non-air conditioned barber shops, wet markets and open-air food shops.

I would imagine there are not too many none air-conditioned barber shops........

 

The second type are those with a large customer base and have an impact on the economy, such as shopping malls, restaurants and Thai massage parlors.

This is a direct contradiction of what they are saying above or are all shopping malls going to turn off their Air-Conditioning systems.......LOL 

 

The third type are those which help to improve health, such as fitness centres, gyms and spas.

Should that last one be Bars........LOL

Let's hope you didn't expect a consignment of camembert or brie.

Of 20+ orders, only 4 orders arrived. Chinese owners told me in chat that most factories are still closed per 1 week ago.

To avoid unnecessary wait, lazada customers should order from local sellers when possible.
