What's your best guess? When will bars re-open in Pattaya?

[Senechal]

Anyone have an educated guess? Or better yet, some inside scoop from a somewhat reliable source?

 

When do you think / hear bars will re-open?

 

 

[LongTimeLurker]

My favourite re-opened yesterday.

[saakura]

Since you asked us to make a guess... i would say all gogo bars will open on Friday 20th May ???????? and i hope you can hold on till then, less than 72hrs to go!

There is only one card left for the "Zero Covid" cult.

 

Vaccination.

 

So we need a few more months... in order to achieve a large campaign... let's say december.

 

Then it will be clear that... it's absolutely not a game changer : "Covid cases" will continue to popup.

 

At that point, the backslash from the population will be powerfull.

 

1 year and a half without nothing, no work, no money... All those sacrifices for... nothing.

 

The gvt will then be forced to change its course and to abandon the "Zero Covid" ideology.

 

Therefore : full opening january 2022.

 

Until then, the forecast is easy : stop and go, confusion, flip-flopping etc.

They will open again when the number on infected people is not critical anymore.

[WineOh]

Certainly won't be anytime soon. 

Christmas 2021 I'm betting, and that is being optimistic!

Unfortunately, this makes a lot of sense. Vaccines -- at least the ones available now -- will not make much of a dent I'm afraid. As it stands now we're seeing new variants pop up every few weeks.  And the "95% efficacy" sure looks questionable.

That's some positive thinking....

The next Friday 20th May is in 2022.

[Taboo2]

July 1st.  They will open until 12 am.  Any bar that violates the rule will be permanently shut down.

[Danny Australia]

Bars will reopen once the current outbreak in BKK is contained. My guess 15 August

The decision on when to reopen hasn't been made as the situation is fluid.

 

The impression I get is that bars won't all reopen for at least another couple of months. There seems to be a realisation that bars and the entertainment industry are a fertile breeding ground for the virus and as such I imagine there will be a reluctance to reopen bars quickly.

Two weeks after the Massage places. 

[redwood1]

My best guess is when the uk goes back into lockdown we will open again....We seem to be on opposite lockdown cycles...

You could check the news. Updated daily...

Yeah its like 2k+ per day... but those numbers are skewed by the infections found in the prisons.

 

So at what number are we below the critical threshold for bars and clubs to re-open ?

[bkk6060]

I spoke to a girl yesterday who works on Soi 6 she has heard one to 2 more months.

Infections nationwide don’t matter in the decision to open bars in Pattaya.

The post by Onemorefarang indicates it does.

[kinyara]

If they expect Phuket to open to tourism on July 1st anyone remotely interested in planning a visit must be hoping it's by then or the authorities might be greeting every arrival personally.

If Chonburi goes two weeks with zero infections, the pressure to re-open would be enormous.

Then there will another spike on the 16th August and they will be closed again on the 17th August.

Is out of control. 11 in Banglamung (Pattaya) today. 39 for Chonburi. They will probably shut everything.

[natway09]

As a bar owner I reckon if we are lucky October.

Next projection  Christmas.

If the local producer of the vaccine works as fast as they seem to be doing now add 2023 behind my predictions

[RichardColeman]

I think you'd be better waiting for the Phuket sandbox results before making a prediction. Goes well, October, goes bad, January

There are also other "lethal" viruses and endless mutations  of them to contend with

like the human race has(n't) been contending with since time began  to keep the "vaccinators" in business for quite a while yet  I'd imagine ????????
