[time2093]

These guys are who running the country are making up the rules as they see fit as it looks like there's a phase 5 now...lol. According to Bangkok post today,

 

 

The source said the committee will also consider allowing boxing matches without spectators present in stadiums for the next phase of relaxation, which is expected to commence on June 15.

 

The source said the outcome of the meeting will be submitted to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Friday for approval.

Pubs, night clubs and massage parlours will remain closed until the fifth phase of easing the lockdown, the source noted.

This would mean thar the fourth phase is supposed to happen BEFORE the end of June...otherwise the above doesn't make sense.

 

Anyone knows for sure when this fourth phase is supposed to start?

 

1st phase:  Beginning May

2nd phase:  Mid May

3rd phase:  Beginning June

4th phase:  June 15

Probably bars. 

5th phase: July 1st  some international travel.

They will end the curfew for 15 days then ask the Thai citizens what they think about it.  It is obvious that the curfew has nothing to do with controlling the virus if they are asking the citizens about it.

I believe that the curfew at the beginning was to decrease the number of  people circulating for no good purpose and in that sense was initially related to help with mitigation.

But perhaps an additional benefit is that it it also makes it difficult  for those that would be tempted go thieving and burgling due to the high numbers unemployed.

Yea, we should now be doing what the Kiwi's are doing, ie getting back to near normal but keep the borders closed or at least have quarantine. However, this government are clearly enjoying seeing their own people suffer, it's sick. 

 

I have no idea why anyone, except for having a business or young children, would want to stay here??? I'm all ears on that???

Maybe because they have lived all their lives here and would feel as much as a foreigner there than here but without any roots ...

Are alot of our favorite spots open? Has alot of the talent returned yet?

I was there around lower Sukhumvit last week and it was every bit as dead as Pattaya. To make things even worse the standard of the freelancers hanging around on the street was beyond belief, and not in a good way ????

normal laws cannot control emergency cases

It´s settled then. Out of that normal laws always create an emergency, Thailand has to keep in state of emergency FOREVER!

[DrJack54]

She who must be obeyed/Thai partner, just informed me that very soon restaurants can serve alcohol but not bars. 

What would happen if bars were allowed open tomorrow (close before say 10pm).

Lot of bars in Thailand. I would suggest that if I went to say Stumble Inn soi 4, I might be very lonely. Most of customers places like Pattaya Beach Rd such as between soi 7 & 8 are tourists. Most have gone. What's the obsession with having  bars closed. 

OK night clubs I get that.

Geezus!

The governments are just putting off the inevitable. You could wait forever and you'd still get cases of infection appearing.  I think the sooner Thailand (and the world) gets back to normal business the better for everyone. If a few elderly (including myself) and immune-compromised get sick well that's the price, but for God's sake don't let more people commit suicide and let the economy implode completely.  We are being held to ransom by power hungry bureaucrats for no good reason.

I notice that the usually hyperactive NCC has gone silent...maybe he passed out after going too much over the top ...

Is the glass half full, or half empty? I would say, half full.

If bars are still closed, and I guess most TVF members are not midnight delivery drivers, then what difference does the curfew actually really make to us, the TVF members? Tell the truth now! ????

I have found the curfew very useful. I have had some very good nights sleep with no noisy motorbikes going past at 3am. Keep it on for me.

If they allow alcohol in restaurants they can allow it also in bars. Often bars have a restaurant license too. In the end they can open the nightlife. There will be no fight against Corona anymore. Anything else would be an unrealistic assumption. Just walked around in Central Pattaya. Very many people without masks. What surprised me was that the beach was almost completely empty.

[phantomfiddler]

The single item that I think most people would like to know is.....What are the conditions required such that normal little beer bars along the beach will be allowed to open ? and when these conditions are expected to be met ? ????

[DaLa]

I'm going to miss the curfew. I've been staying up until midnight for the last few months just so my life feels a bit daring. Oh well, it's back to riding the bike with no helmet for my recalcitrance.

Phase 106: This phase overrides all other phases and resets the freedom for people to a minimum. You are still allowed to visit the toilet if necessary, but if you enter without face mask you risk a fine of 100.000 baht or a maximum of 5 years in jail or both.

[Surasak]

I am reliably informed, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

How many other countries, let alone those with such low Covid-19 numbers, have maintained such a long nationwide state of emergency? This seems more aimed at papering over the cracks in a weak coalition government than a necessity for tackling the disease.

Nup. Bars even with kitchen etc are viewed differently to restaurants. 

Been explained many times.

The restaurants will be able to serve alcohol sooner (it seems) unlike bars.

I guess it would be a good idea for some people to wear a face mask whilst on the toilet!! ????????

or just even restaurants to allow drink, weekends are nothing to look forward to anymore

 

why can't changes be made midway through the month? why this wait until July 1st? 

 

if June was 31 days long would these suffering businesses have to wait until July 2nd instead?

That’s far to simple for the simple folk to comprehend 

[Sumarianson]

Any pup or club can say goodbye to their life's work and effort. Maybe this will start the riots they are looking for, like in the US and UK etc? So they show the "need" for Army control! That is for sure gonna backfire.
