Commercially delivered ice is critical to just about every food and drink establishment in Thailand. The volumes used require restock several times daily and without these deliveries the establishments can not safely sell food.

One might fear infected foodstuffs due to lack of chilling... it is certainly hot enough to worry.

Well the little square ones can be mastered, its those cylindrical ones with the hole in the middle that baffles them.  You watch a Thai try to  make the holes with a drill ????????????

With no drinking establishments open there should be plenty of ice for the food places !!

So are  frozen covid droplets able to be defrosted ?

I thought making and distributing 'ice' was illegal in Thailand unless you were a cop?

My bad I was talking about factories, not employees so assumed you also meant factories when you qouted me.

I assume it's the workers camp that serves the factory rather than the factory itself as when in the factory workers probably have to fully insulate them selves although I suppose bagging the ice at the end of the line probably brings them into a huddle. If it's just the large blocks I can't see how cross infection occurs?

I feel sorry for the bar girls called "Ice."  No customers for them anytime soon.  ????

Clean it up, reopen as tourist attraction by claiming it was location of Bruce Lee's film "The Big Boss". Problem solved.
