Restaurant association to ask Thai PM not to ban customers from dining-in

 

 

The Association of Thai Restaurants is against a measure, proposed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), banning customers from dining in restaurants and food shops, claiming that this will further damage the business and force more redundancies.

 

The association’s president, Thaneewan Kulmonkol, said today (Saturday) that they are sending an open letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, urging him to reconsider the ban, which she claims could cause about 100 billion baht in damage to the restaurant sector and related businesses, such as farming.

 

The measure calls for takeaway services only by restaurants and food shops.

Why would farmers be effected - just because people are not visiting restaurants does not mean they are not eating

Perhaps there are restaurant secrets coming coming out now?

Do they tend to waste so much food that it will directly affect farmers? <end of conspiracy theory mode>

this comic situation again, I remember FUJI in March.... 3 people (family) sitting alone at their own table

We were at our local Fuji today and they had alternate booths closed for social distancing measures.
