Or, 

Maybe they figure within 2 hours most people have enough brains and sense to decide what they want to buy.

 

 

I'm just guessing, the two-hour notion is connected to their other idea of limiting the number of people allowed inside at any one time (in order to hopefully maintain social distancing).

 

If they don't set a time limit, then the Thais and others are going to do their regular routine of going and spending all day at the local mall or shopping center, enjoying the air con, hanging around the food courts, etc etc... Making a day of it, as it were.

 

If you're going to limit the number of people allowed inside at any one time, you can't also be allowing people to come and spend the day hanging about.

If the cinemas are open same time the malls are, You can only watch half the movie if its over 3 hours. 

Cinemas will of course be VERBOTEN.

 

Also you will not be able to go to the gym if your gym is in the mall.

 

Welcome to Land of Smiles!

Unenforceable in malls, what are they going to give a ticket when entering and what time to leave. This is just micromanaging people lives to the extreme.

"Come in number 45, your time is up!"

As usual the measures are to control social distancing. This BS is continually brandished by the Govt. They have ZERO control on social distancing. The PM & his DPM's should visit their local markets (naturally they wouldn't know where to find them, their serfs would have to show them where they are), then they can see first hard how it's working, NOT. After that, visit a downtown skytrain station. Waste of time in lawless Thailand. Usual lip service for the media portraying that you are in control, NOT.

I use big shopping malls only if i need to go to toilet. So 2 hours time limit more than enough for myself. I shop more at local markets to help the ordinary people. 

90% of the staff working in big malls might be very ordinary people.

Looking at pretty girls in malls can take hours, sometimes multiple malls in one day and some tindering whilst drinking an iced coffee.

Well, your particular pleasures in life will just have to wait awhile. As I understand it, you don't have to be in a mall to do 'tindering'.

I’d go crazy with boredom if I were forced to spend 2 hours at a shopping mall. Think this restriction will hit many women hard though.

Of course they are, he's helping capitalists, ie business owners.

 

We, the mall shoppers are the true heroes because we help the truly ordinary people, the security guards, pretzel waitresses and shop assisstants.

 

Naturally we are rewarded by being treated like criminals. You have 2 hours in the yard! Here, your tattoo! Dirty Farang!

To all of the whingers the answer is simple.  Don't open malls for another month.

 

Some people just do not get where we are at.  A fresh outbreak of cases and we will be back to square one.

That nice Mr Prayuth looks terribly fierce...

 

Weeties for brekky?

[kotsak]

So each person visiting a mall will be assigned a minder, North Korean style?

The first outbreak was hardly a ripple.

[mr mr]

all of these stupid rules worldwide are nonsense. humans are social creatures this stuff will never fly. 

 

i was in makro today and it was like any other day before the virus except people had masks on. rubbing shoulder to shoulder bumping into each other etc. 

 

social distancing is one of the stupidest things ever thought of by the idiots in power all over the planet.

Been watching a discussion on television today where a doctor was saying there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the 2m rule. It came about because the WHO suggested one metre as a precaution in case of droplets from a persons mouth. 

The whole world decided to double it to be extra safe........now it’s stuck.

The WHO have hardly shined in this crisis and the advice about being too close is not always possible. I think we all need to accept the risk that we can come into contact with infected people whether covid-19, flu or the common cold.

Don't swim.

Don't buy alcohol.

Don't drink in public.

Safe to say, the Fun factor is long time gone.

 

Don't spread covid-19?

 

Sounds good to me.

Obviously the Governments are banking on the track and trace method of helping reduce numbers going forwards but that relies on participants being honest and self isolating when contacted. 
 

It will never work in Thailand, not sure it will work anywhere tbh 

[Why Me]

Fine with me. We're headed in the right direction. A month ago nothing in the malls but takeaway, no liquor anywhere, no parks, no nothing.

 

Now we've gone from 0 to 20. My guess is by June all restriction will be off bar social distancing and even that July at most.

You're in the wrong thread kid. This is about mall opening. Yea, I know they opened the liquor stores but still ...

I don't trust any governments with track and trace apps, so I won't be downloading one of them. India are starting to use the app to track so called dissident students, all very Chinese style monitoring.

Some people just don't get what has happened. Miniscule mortality rates for this virus.

 

In Thailand 54 people out of 68,000,000 have died. Do you not get that this is 0.00007 percent of the population of Thailand?

 

And you're so afraid of wave 2? Here's an idea, why don't you go self-isolate and sit at home and protect yourself. I'll got out shopping at the mall and enjoy life.

I can see the pros and the cons.

Malls aren't really safe now.

The number of people in them should be limited.

But if you've made a special trip and have a big list of things to buy including complicated things like electronics. metering you means you'll have to come back soon which kind of defeats the purpose.

I guess they could enforce with time stamps and a fine if you're over. So rich people will just pay it.

My time stamp will be going into the first trash can I see...

Hey, old man what do mall hours have to do with track and trace tech? Like I said lay off the sauce when you're on TV. We're a serious, sober and brainy lot here.

There is a lot of pessimism already in the UK and understandable. 
 

Without mass take up, its pretty useless

These are probably the same people who don't touch door handles when entering and leaving a mall/bar toilet. Sometimes I don't bother washing my hands if I see these people in the mall/bar toilet as I know it disgusts them 555.

Lordie, no need to try. You are disgusting. That residual pee on your hand will find its way to your face, food and loved ones. Ok, scratch the last no way you have any.
