At least in Bangkok. Oh I nearly forgot - shops too. NO alcohol sales between 14.00 and 17.00 Really? The ones I go to serve all day. Only restaurants in shopping malls stop at 2pm and they are generally devoid of any atmosphere anyway so I avoid them anyway. Not selling from 2-5pm is really dumb in the context of C19. It just means people will all pile in from 11-2 and the place will be packed. Then from 2-5pm it will be empty. Makes no sense. Better to spread it out over as long a period as possible to stop too many people congregating at the same time. But let's face it none of this is about C19. It's fake puritanism, virtue signalling and population control from the 'holier than thou' illegal power grabbers who are currently masquerading as a legitimate government. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I am confused ! In one reg it says that all bars must close before midnight, and in the very next sentence it starts off on regs for all-night venues ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO WAY the schools can run with 20 maximum to a classroom They won’t and can’t do that. IMPOSSIBLE there’s not enough physical space to allow 20 to a class plus you would need 2 times as many teachers. DO a check when schools open Impossible! Schools are splitting grades the kids study 3 days a week in class 3 days at home. This is old news. Some smaller schools are not even changing they are just adding more classes out doors for science and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are places where they sell food, they may of course have a different status than the "Restaurant" one, not really my concern what they are labelled. I am actually in Thonglor, visited 3 different places where they sell food : Sukhumvit 33/1 Ekamai - Sukhumvit Soi 63 Thonglor - Sukhumvit Soi 55 No problem to get a beer between 2 and 5 p.m.. Happy Hour during this time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grumpy John Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 Absurd set of rules for a country which has the virus under control.

Joe Mama Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Can Someone please explain to me what the heck is the big concern about selling alcohol beverages in Thailand's shops & bars & pubs between the hours of 2pm & 5pm? I much prefer to enjoy a beverage or two between the hours of 2pm & 5pm than 11am & 2pm! An 11am start time is for the serious alcoholics! Why not a 2pm start time to midnight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious297 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Can the authorities legally enforce the requirement that every entertainment establishment must install CCTV and ensure they keep records for a month? Right now it can only be a policy. The authorities will check you have recordings going back 1 month or you will get a fine, they are not interested in viewing the actual contents. Do they have the actual resources to view the recordings? It'a a pure money grab in my opinion and vaguely worded to ensure the free flow of brown envelopes. Eagerly waiting for the first court case.

dallen52 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Lastly, massage parlours and spas holding valid licences will be allowed to reopen, though all customers have to check in using the ThaiChana platform and are required to wear a mask at all times, except in a bath. so if you're in the little book, no ploblems ...
