What is it with the 2 hours limit? Is that how long it takes to get infected? 

This is total drivel, makes absolutely no sense what so ever......LOL

So no blo-jobs just yet.

same as 1.5 or 2 meter distance, based on NOTHING AT ALL

 

some restaurants, people sit 2-3 at one table, another, 1 person per table

 

family of 4 eating out = 4 tables

 

makes no sense

 

than back to BTS, crammed as usual...

I like # 15 Water sports venues can be opened for jetskiing or banana boats, but how can they use it with the beaches still closed?

Must be all those responsible people who cram the BTS.

 

Maybe they should lock it down as well. Not?

Social distancing and the inane wearing of cloth masks, are absolute nonsense, when there are no new infections in the nation, the others that were previously infected, have passed the incubation period, and anyone coming into the country is being quarantined. No restrictions need to continue on any activity. End the hysteria now. The Zombie Apocalypse never happened.

I went there recently, mid May, and it was closed for renewal of licences.

Bully's Pub?? It's a restaurant, already equipped with booths and dividers! What gives?

Bullys Pub can open if they wish to serve food

The Land Transport Department will re-open it's driver licensing centers nationally, all at the same time. These decisions aren't made on a province to province basis. When the announcement was made to suspend the issuance and renewal of driver's licenses on March 23 until further notice, it was applied nationwide. Thailand, unlike the USA and Australia, generally makes decisions at the national level that affects every province the same way.

Dumb question:  Are there beaches in Bangkok?  I was wondering where a banana boat would be used.

I didn't see any exceptions saying they were not allowed. Soapies weren't mentioned either.

Cut off the nose to spite the face!  A needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem.
