I am puzzled as to the latest restrictions, the Rumour Mill is now alive with conflicting news.

Are all bars and restaurants now closed for 2 weeks ?

Has wearing a face covering when outside the house become compulsory ?

Is there a Curfew ?

Have there been over 100 new infections with several deaths in Chiang mai in the last few days ?

I  find many exaggerations.

NWhere you getting this from CNN?

I Chiang Mai all normal.

Anyway in the spa with some Aussie wine.

Help keep the virus at bay.

????❤????????

Some social media fake news I hope.

 

I was at our local village bar and they were all talking about this too.

 

I can't find any real news about it though. 

 

Everyone was sitting 2 meters apart, had sanitizer out, masks when leaving or arriving. People saying there has been an outbreak in CM, and restaurants not allowed to serve alcohol.

 

 

Village Paw Luang made a long announcement at 1830 this evening containing all the above.

There have NOT been over 100 new cases and several deaths in C.M. in the last few days.....

Yes the bars and restaurants are closed for 2 weeks at least

Yes it is compulsory to use the Thai Chana or Mor Chana app 

No there have not been 100 cases in Chiang Mai, not even in total since the start of the pandemic

Yes face masks are compulsory when leaving your home 

And yes social media including TV is full of utter rubbish as usual.

 

Happy New Year. It's going to be a long one!

...and no, it is NOT compulsory to use the Thai Chana or Mor Chana app.

My thanks to Trujilio/ It appears that Paw Luang is embellishing the facts, he has previous history of this.

This seems to conflict with the policy announced re alcohol in restaurants (no sale of)

The local bar in Changklan we got to cannot sell alcohol for 2 weeks.

The local restaurant we go to has been told they cannot serve alcohol up to and including 31st January. 
Posts by other restaurants in Chiang Mai on Facebook confirm this. 
lt seems odd why the timescales for not being able to serve alcohol are different in bars and restaurants.  

It's because of all the relaxation that there is a second wave. Even if it is not closed, one shouldn't go to crowded places and always wear your mask.

 

Dress like this ...

Unless something has changed in the last 24 hrs TAT shows this for Chiang Mai restrictions for alcohol:

 

+ All self-service food outlets (shabu and BBQ) to switch to table service or seek prior approval for self-service options. Alcoholic beverages cannot be consumed at food outlets or restaurants, from 23.00-05.00 Hrs. 

 

Have the restaurants been misinformed?

I too am puzzled as to how many people have successfully claimed the ThB 10k from the governor's office.

All of the major face coverings in those images are made TO PROTECT people from continued exposure to clouds or entire environments full of listed material. 
 

The masks we wear for corona are to limit the spread of the virus, not to protect us from it. 
 

I’ll never understand how people can’t understand basic concepts like this. 
 

 

Chap I know who owns one of the little bars around Zoe in Yellow said yesterday that they had to shut until "next month".

Village Paw Luang has just announced that ALL alcohol sales are banned for January, subject to a Thb 100000 fine and/or 2 years imprisonment !
