If you do not know it is not my job to take off your blindfold and ear protectors.

Wasn't there already 3 on Arunothai...?   Was puzzled when a new one was built on the Bong Koch 8  corner,... to go along with a Tesco and Family Mart.

Four 7 Elevens and two Familymarts on Arunotai, all doing OK until covid. The new Bong Koch one is a good location, not needed really just taking business from the others

That one and two of the others have the same owner/franchisee.

Apparently the franchise owner has to expand if sales are over a certain level, if they don't someone else will. Think I read it on here so must be true

It's my understanding that once sales exceed a certain number then an "exclusion zone" is removed and another 711 can be opened nearby.  In such cases it may make sense to do it yourself.

Fully aware and yet making dim statements like

It makes more sense to quarantine the virus itself,

Arunothai must be doing very well... perhaps the type of shoppers there are too busy to go a little further for the wide range of selection in Big CX.

Same kind of people who hazard crossing a busy chaotic street , rather than the pedestrian overpass 30 meters away. Throw trash down rather than depositer close by.

I went to Harbor mall today.......All floors.......It was unbelievable....

 

About 80% of the business are closed.....

Most restaurants closed....I did see one customer in KFC which was the most busy restaurant... The ice skating rink closed...Only 2 or 3 mobile phone shops are still open....

The aircon turned way down to save money I think.....

It's looking pretty sad all the way around....

 

Big C Extra is way way more busy and it's not all that busy....

Big C Extra is normal busy I'd say, some days usually around a holiday can be quiet

That will never work.

 

It's already been working, in many countries around the world.

 

By quarantining people, you get to quarantine the virus as well.    

 

Granted, it's not the best solution, economically, but it "buys precious time."

It's worked in every country that has locked down. 

 

Yes, there have been second waves, but lock downs eventually got on top of those as well.

Took a stroll through RGP and both Svenssons and Dairy Queen are closed. 

That said, the Avani Hotel car park was full at 5.30 this afternoon.

It's a 4 day Thai holiday this past weekend.

No I disagree, wearing a mask while moving around the restaurant and passing close by other customers makes a lot of sense to me.

A mask to a virus is as a chainlink fence is to a mosquito

The virus is carried on water droplets. A mask is very effective at preventing these travelling any distance from the infected person.

Depends on the type of mask and fit but generally your statement is obnoxious dangerous misinformation. What's up with people that trash sensible mitigation measures? What's next? Seat belts are bad!

It does not matter if your wearing a mask or not....What really matters is that you at least have a mask on your head somewhere..... Loads of people wear them under their chin.....I bet you have lost count of the times you have seen this...

What's your point dude?

Of course I have.

They are basically doing the same as not wearing masks.

It does matter how you wear it and no, I haven't lost count of how many people I've seen wearing them under their chins in supermarkets, shopping malls and 7/11s. very few, mainly ignorant farangs who think they know better.

I would say its the Thais by a long shot who are most of the mask chin wearers, not the farang...

Possibly. The farangs don't bother wearing them at all.

Most of us wear a mask to play along. Most masks are the cheap cotton ones worn incorrectly so of little benefit, anyway continue playing along

My mask has the "Manchester United" logo on it. I wear it with pride.

Better than nothing but why so many f-rangs with such a bad attitude? Isn't it much better to be here in Thailand during the pandemic than their home countries? One reason for that is much earlier, much wider adoption of mitigation measures like masks. Nothing's perfect! 

[thaibeachlovers]

What has mask wearing, or not wearing, got to do with the OP? There's a dedicated subforum to talk about mask wearing, or not.
