    The 7/11 here still scans body temperature. It's always 35.5 Celsius, yes you read that right 35.5 Celsius. There is not a single person who will tell them that can't be right. It's goi

I didn't see any formal news announcement, but at least in BKK, the rules appear to have loosened considerably for restaurants also with the arrival of June.

 

I was looking at Facebook pages this morning, and came across restaurants talking about no longer being required to have table barriers, being able to offer buffets again, and the only seating restrictions being that individuals need to be at least one meter apart...no more separate tables, supposedly.

 

That's all fine well and good. But you're not going to see me sitting around a restaurant with other people and not wearing an N95 mask any time soon....

I’m Done with Buffets

Many Thais were doing as I was doing. Not all of us are gullible enough to be taken in by what is merely a political stunt. Oh just to add, that I would certainly act the same in my own country. 

I follow the daily CCSA English briefing where they have been giving the daily usage figures of Thai Chana and, by comparison to the population, the uptake and usage seems to be very low and at today's briefing (Thursday) Thai Chana wasn't mentioned at all.

 

The App, which was released on the 27th May to a zero fanfare, has only been downloaded 100,000+ times, which tells a story in itself.

 

I wonder whether Thai Chana is  'dying a death' through lack of, shall we say, cooperation. It wouldn't surprise me at all. It certainly isn't only falangs who are shunning this system.

a whole lot of this is the syndrome that all politicians have  " we must be doing something, even if that something is nothing to do with the something we should be doing something about". And it's about as understandable as that sentence. 

 

They all suffer from it.

It was never done by my local 7/ 11 at Pattaya jomtien area.

Just temperature scanning handwash and mask

Several 7/11 in Jomtien uses the scan-procedure or the manual writing on a piece of paper + temp.check, mask and gel. I pass at least one every time I go out. Family Mart, though, they do nothing. They don't care about about gel or anything. I went inside one at Jomtien Beach Rd the other day with my mask under my chin,no reaction what so ever.

You don't. I'd think that would be pretty obvious.

 

Stopped here a few days back in my local 7/11, however some others never even bothered to use it from the start. Amazing hey?

If they’re not taught how are they to know? I feel for them in many cases. Education is a maybe here sadly 

 

edit: and lol at the pressure ????
