I don't do it, I was reacting on a silly comment from you: "open air bars are entirely different and pose less risk than a restaurant"  

you evidently don't get out much

More propaganda of suppression for your own good and our control of YOU!

Not with this Covid19 around, work from home.

Who wants to buy a beer bar??? <deleted>!!!!!!

If the bars are to remain closed then the temples should all be closed as well ????

If the test is reliable and recent then that is obviously good. I guess there are huge differences about the quality of those tests worldwide.

Apparently Australia bought about $18 million worth that are no better than flipping a coin.

It seems there are extreme few infected people in Thailand. So who is going to infect whom?

As long a no "outsiders" arrive who bring the virus the risk is minimal.

So it seems the most important issue is: Keep the borders closed. And/or anybody who comes to Thailand must be tested and/or quarantined.

That is obviously inconvenient for the people who want to come to Thailand. But the best way to make sure there are no new infections.

Thailand can survive without foreign tourists for a year or two.

 

do you live in thailand?

Sure, a girl sitting on your lap ( who did the same with 10 others in the same night) would be less risky than having a meal with your family. Are you for real?

You have been watching too much mainstream news. Need to curtail that as it is detrimetal for people and countries. If you are in fear, then protect yourself by wrapping yourself in celephane and hide in a cupboard. However, do not impose your totally illogical fear on the rest of the country as government " specialists" have been doing. Italy has downgraded their death count by more than 96% and tests of a PAW PAW have come back as posative in Tanzania. Durian is in quarentine. There is a cure announced by the President of Madagascar so do not worry about this flu.

take that as yes shall i?

This is Thailand, Thais decide if pubs and bars should be open or not. Foreigners, being guests here, should not have anything to say in the matter. 

 

Common sense. 

this poll is worthless - people who don't use bars don't want them wow that isn't news

The questions to be asked

1 All the people that benefit from the entertainment industry - how to offer an alternative income if that option isn't available - You need solutions to large gatherings - rank up testing so covid free can use or just ban - what about temples, sports venues, underground trains, air travel, department stores, Ban those as well

2 The tourist industry is a goldmine for country's wealth and vast majority come for nightlife - so you going to ban that and take a cut in tax on departures

700 x 100 seats = 70,000 baht per plane

2 planes a minute and 60 minutes an hour - the maths 70000 x 2 x60 = 8.4 million baht an hour

8.4m x 24 = 192 million baht a day in revenue one question shall we stop receiving that income in Thailand - Not a clever idea -find a better solution - open bars and restaurants , track and trace covid cases, quarantine - visitors must have covid free passports - get creative - Ban this and that is a solution for stupid people

I am not in fear, was just a dumb comment.

Well, some 43.61% of all these polls are useless anyway. Thinking about it, it could well be some 97.76%. And you are correct, the "some" doesn't make any sense at all. Nor do these polls as a whole.

Polls in Thailand are a questionable setup organised by government to get the answers which they require to convince the population that the said government really are good and working for the population and not for themselves. In other words, to manipulate the population into being dummies.

We  surveyed 1000 Thais  asked  them  do  they  want thousands  to  die every  year  due to  no  helmets or 54 due  to  covid...99% said  they  didn't  understand  the  question,  the  other 67.5  said  it  was Friday, 3  were to  drunk to  answer.

you people look down up thais yet line up to come here. Most of you are broke as bee yet look down upon the thais, indians and the chinese who are usually more respectful, more in shape and don't get drunk and trash talk in open bars.
The 55 year old brit man making 30k baht pension money after alimony and child support is salty because the thinks his 19 yr old thai gf doesn't really "love him" and is only in it for the money??

colonial mentality much?? ...
