Few places on Beach road were serving dine in customers in full view. They just had enough and did not care about police or any other authority. Very desperated and angry business owners.

It is a good start and everyone will be out supporting those businesses....keep it up.  Life will return to normal by Mid June.

Do you work for TAT by any chance or did I miss the irony? What is your definition of normal?  No customers for income; rents and staff wages to be paid.  Many restaurants are permanently closed; this is not normal.

But still no alcohol?  Hardly worth a a weekend outing from Bangkok, without the wine.

Correct. Stay in your dark red zone. Lighter colours don't want you .

The numbers for Chonburi are not "still roughly the same amount", they have been down for the last few days.

@wadman but bangkok numbers are, so again i ask what was the point?

Well they are going to be adding the results on from the jails which won' t look so pretty. But keep up the optimism.. I certainly need it.

CHONBURI numbers have been down for the lasy few days => relaxation in CHONBURI measures (dine-in allowed with restrictions)

 

Bangkok numbers are about the same => no Bangkok measures relaxed

 

Surely that makes logical sense?

@wadman no bangkok is the same as chonburi and is allowed dine-in now.

Source?

This is an article in the Bangkok post today, Tuesday May 18.

Clusters surge across capital (bangkokpost.com)

It mentions nothing about dine-in being allowed in Bangkok.  Nor could I find an article that does.  Nothing on nationthailand.com either.

Cant be bothered with all this ducking and diving, went to makro this morning bought some ribs we'll have them for tea tonight with a couple of beers,

Not exactly.... deep red must close at 9pm, and Chonburi, a red zone, at 11pm. (I think)

@wadman In “Deep Red” zones, like Bangkok, dine-in will be allowed at 25% capacity until 9:00 P.M.  so the source is from the story on here, so obviously you havent even read it before you started arguing the fact with me.

@jacko45k yes but my point was the numbers havent gone down in bkk and now they have allowed dine-in, the closing time is irrelevant, so why did they stop dine-in  in the first place?

I do not think people find rhyme nor reason in their actions. 

 

Stopping dine in was perhaps a step too far ( I didn't think so..... It was how the UK handled it too). Pressure was brought to bear to relax. that rule.... 

Maybe changed in an effort to keep the Bangkok 'unclean' in their areas, instead of them prowling for food like a wolf pack.

 

 

Nobody respects anything, I am sure that all restaurant will have to close again soon and they deserve it.

I want nobody around my table when I eat at a restaurant and I just leave if they try to sit anyone nearby.

And from my experience of walking around Emporium, Emquartier, Central Chitlom and Central Embassy (Bangkok) at lunchtime today, most mall restaurants and coffee shops seem to operating normally with few observable seating restrictions.
