I notice quite a few open air bars in my area starting to provide food in some shape or form. So they can claim to be a restaurant I assume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'll play the ThaiVisa "but my case is different than everyone else in the country" game and say "But what if I sit in a "bar" and ask the scantily clad waitress with the number badge for a Jack/Coke and a cheeseburger with a side of fries. Or an order of Jalapeno Poppers and a plate of chicken wings ?" And then she goes next door to get the food and then brings it back to me with my drink and then sits next to me in case I need something else or maybe I want to share my food with her. Would that place then be considered a restaurant to ? Because I ordered food in it and was served food in it ? (I've eaten in "restaurants" before where they've actually had the food prepared somewhere else and then delivered to the kitchen of the place I was in and the staff would then serve it like they'd made it themselves. I had a laugh once when the delivery guy came in the front carrying my order and a minute later the staff brought it out and served it to me on the same plate with the same metal cover still on it. They then admitted they had a kitchen but no cook so they got their food from the hotel next door.) Shouldn't matter if the waitress is wearing a g-string and a smile should it ? I've seen stories of noodle shops, coffee shops and even "Fish Farm" restaurants using scantily clad "pretties" as waitresses to "boost" business. So it shouldn't be a problem for some bars and a-go-gos to do the same, should it ? I'll bet there'd be a lot of punters that would order a 100 baht "meal" and tell them to not even bother delivering it if that was all it would take to be able to sit and drink in a bar (or go-go) again.

OneeyedJohn Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Where I live we don't have scantily clad waitresses in any bars or restaurants, in fact the massage girls ( women ) are dressed like they are ready to plant rice in the paddies. At least it saves me money, and I get to have some exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfill Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 5 metres square is 5m x 5m - in other words 25sq m per person. To get some idea of that - a football pitch is around 100m x 50m and would allow 200 people maximum. In the Before Times, there would be 5000+. Concerts ? No chance.

Can't someone in this government get a grip, and nominate a single proper spokesperson to announce the announcements. Assistant, deputy, acting, mayor, general, chief police major, governor, fer gawds sakes. There are plenty of Maj/Gens, Lt/Gens, and other people with stupid ranks available, I'm sure they will be delighted to stand up and make announcements where everyone and his dog can see them dressed up in their nice uniforms, ribbons, wings, and other bling just like the posers they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should get out and walk around a little with your eyes open. Actually there were pics on ThaiVisa shortly (very shortly) after restaurants were allowed to start "dining in" again. The pics showed places (looked like shophouse eateries) where a table meant for 2 people had a plastic screen to separate them. They showed what one would assume to be couples dining at tables with the screen between them. Meanwhile you were almost brushing against the back of the person sitting at the table behind you (even though they seemed to be spaced a little further apart than normal).

natway09 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So although no sign that the contagen is still even active out there in the local community they will not allow the bars to open who employ the "forgotten" people that the Government will pay nothing to help. Let us have a beer with our friends in a bar environment. We have all been here for the last 3 months anyway, What are you concerned about? Of more concern is opening of borders & International travel without the local community being back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
