Pubs, bars may open on July 1 if they follow 22 iron-clad rules

[johno49]

I do not like rule 22 i want my public relations representative to sit with me. RULE 22 No service personnel or public relations representatives are allowed to sit with customers.

You could not make this <deleted> up

These are social distancing containment measures against a virus that is no longer present, and come to think of it neither are there any tourists.

I think this rule will be rather disappointing for some visitors...????

[CaptainCarrot]

Rule 22: The Political Officer, or Commissar, appointed by Government for each bar and to be paid for by the bar owner, shall at each 30 minute interval:

a) require all activity in the bar to stop
b) read out their authorisation letter from Government

c) list the 21 Rules and provide examples and point out any infractions over the last 30 minutes

d) question patrons on their understanding of the rules

e) require patrons to sign form L/2987/X33/90135/K77/C234 (one per patron)

f) inspect the toilets to ensure they have ben cleaned within the last 30 minutes
g) provide the bar owner with the approval letter to continue operation up until the next 30 minute review ( the pro forma for this approval letter is expected to be available online before the next tourist high season in 2021)

This process is not expected to take more than 45 minutes.

This will work seamlessly, if the oil massage places are anything to go by.  Gogo dancers will dance wearing masks and dental visors but otherwise completely naked behind plastic screens,

The rules are only there so the cops can shake them down for not adhering to the rules.

Soon the brown paper bags will have a tick list on them. Please tick which activities you wish us to turn a blind eye to.

 

X Controlling the number of patrons to ensure the venue does not get congested

✓ Checking every customer and staff member’s temperature

✓   Ensuring groups are no bigger than five

"Public Relations" or "Pubic Relations"?

Beverages can only be served individually, and shared jugs or ice buckets are prohibited;

A local bar that I used to frequent cannot possibly operate like this.

Many of the stated regulations just go against how they operated.

The floor space is packed with tables, to get as many people in as possible, standing room only around them, a few only offer bar type stools to sit on. Beer is served in a bottle with the top off, Whisky is bought by the bottle & shared among the table, ice-buckets are the norm for Thais to fill their glasses when needed.

80% of the above including all the social distancing will be forgotten once inside.

Social distancing measures must be observed in smoking areas;

This one caught my eye - might put a stop to the "old farts" who congregate at the bar with an ashtray, packet of fags, lighter and a beer in front of them! 

[fraggleRock]

Whos going to go to a bar with all these restrictions! To many hoops.... If you accidently make an error your in it, why risk it - staying home.

[tlandtday]

This will be about as well enforced as the helmet laws.  Look for in depth monitoring and reporting of foreign establishments while the 90 percent Thai bars go unchecked.

Blah blah blah.  Tired of reading this.  You do realise the OP is about easing current restrictions, and ahead of when most people thought.  So how is that about control and oppression exactly?  

Rather than just chucking your stock TVF phrase out there, please explain.

I know how you feel, Im tired of reading comments like yours who dont have the ability to think for themselves

Try understanding that the control comes by not letting you play pool, darts or watch sports on TV. There is nothing in these activities that will risk spreading anything seeing as we are now Covid free anyway - DA

weren't they already ? i would of guessed anyone in their right mind would want to sanitize before and after frequenting such a fine establishment.

Why would you not be carrying your own pocket-sized bottle of sanitizer? I did back in Feb/March in Pattaya and I carry one here in UK now.

Not difficult....

 

Hint:  buy one pocket-sized bottle and one big one for home use....top up small one from big one....repeat as necessary - more cost-effective usually.

 

[saigonsunset]

Any place on Thong Lor that serves so much as a bowl of peanuts is already open as a 'restaurant', packed till under the roof with no distancing whatsoever. Why still beat around the bush pretening to be in control while clearly reality has long passed the CCSA and their out of touch approach?

Are you that guy that stands in the kitchen at parties waiting for any poor sucker to come to the fridge to get a cold one so you can bore them to death with the finer details of your last tax return?

Those fine establishments usually cater to people who think that "would of" is the English Language.

What? Thats what happens in bars. Why would anything put a stop to that? You sound like 1 of those entitled jokers who wander why they cant get a seat in a bar to watch a game when they arrive at KO time haha, snooze ya lose kid

 

[Sydebolle]

I just wonder, how many committees and sub-working groups were compiling this list. 

Of utmost highlight I would score:

Patrons are not allowed to be loud or walk around the venue if not necessary. 
This will ensure, that Covito-19/Coronavirus is not woken up and starts to get active again?

No service personnel or public relations representatives are allowed to sit with customers. 
In the past they were possibly called pimps and hookers, as real waitresses and waiters were never allowed to mix with the esteemed clientele; nice linguistic upgrade! 

[SpanishExpat]

Guess I was in a "restaurant" then last Saturday here in BKK:) We didnt`t eat, but shared a couch with other people, had shared jugs, sisha, music and people playing pool. 

Sorry...but they are just killing the whole scene! Owners who can afford the bribes/have contacts are already back to normal!

Surely the first precludes the second?

These rules/regulations won't be obeyed! The monthly payments to the police will ensure that a blind eye is taken!

 

Of course, the monthly payments will have to be increased!

That is rich, from someone obviously not thinking for themselves, just about themselves.

How do you know "we are now Covid free anyway"? Would that be from the same source as the death figures?

Why would one statement be any more credible than the other, couldn't possibly be down to wishful thinking on the part of those desperate for a watering hole.
