My guess is that it's primarily the phone companies (AIS, DTAC etc.) they're aiming at. It's not just the mobile as such (although being able to "fix" things like dead batteries etc. is essential), but also broken SIM cards and what-have-you. The other day, a dog chewed up my gf's father's mobile... go figure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just seen signs up in a local 7 that they will close at 2200 tonight, so that would indicate yes. Bars across the road were still open though.

Dart12 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 what are the chonburi numbers? Pattaya numbers? If they want to just say closed for the holiday, all bars and restaurants closed...I'm pretty cool with that as a precaution. Makes sense to keep big drunk crowds down.

Convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart must be closed between 22.00 and 05.00, the order also states. In malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and mobile phone shops can remain open. Somebody explain please. Malls closed but supermarkets, pharmacies, banks and mobile phone shops (essential) in those closed Malls can remain open ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
