They don't just consist of restaurants but shops selling most everything you could possibly want. They keep the smaller food and sundries markets from getting too crowded and malls usually have a small supermarket or two on the lower floors where shoppers can stock up on edibles and help keep the Big C's, Tesco Lotus's's's's's' and 7-11s from getting packed out. Don't know about malls in Bangkok but Zeer and Future Park in Rangsit were fairly strict a few months ago with the signing-in and temp checks. The shops and businesses within the malls have their owning screening and are likely to keep the number of customers entering down to a minimum. Whereas Big C, Tesco, Sevens and markets are starting to get more and more complacent and there's not so much customer control anymore. TRANSLATION - i enjoy malls, it gives me a bit of enjoyment in these dark times, please don't close them. Here are some silly facts that obviously make no sense. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The no dining in restriction will affect the domestic tourism, so way to go wise and powerful but a bit stupid PM. Even open dining with occupancy at 50 percent is better than the knee jerk, shutting restaurants down to take out only. Maybe the U turn on Monday will happen, as the flack hits the PM door, so to speak. Good luck Thailand you still need all that you can get.

So why would you want Malaysians coming over the border unchecked. And it's really to prevent Thais, some of which have been working illegally in Malaysia, from sneaking back in and avoiding quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 10 hours ago, the green light said: From the article "specific businesses and activities would be targeted to contain the virus." Correct if I am wrong. this virus is airborne ..so how can you lock some neighborhood in the city but not others.? its is all over the city and every one can be infected. h They have one options: speed up the vaccine effort in Bangkok-- at any cost Since the virus infection is raging all over the country, the Phuket sandbox plan will not work. what these people will do in Thailand after Phuket? they wont be able to go anywhere but home The adjacent smaller islands such as Samui and Koh Tao are ready to take them if they are staying longer than 14 days, they can do another week or more island hoping. As for touring the rest of mainland Thailand I'm not sure that's going to be a good idea... for the tourists anyway. Bangkok is certainly off the list.

You'd think you got a deal on McDonald's stock at its IPO. US states that led the opening and re-oppening charge are the least vaxed states. They did it before vax even rolled out. Vax have very little to do with it. Numbers in thailand are 1600 deaths in 1.5 years and 750,000 other deaths during that time. Let me help you with those numbers: that is 1600 in 1.5 year and 1370 DAILY other deaths. that means that there are almost the SAME NUMBER OF DAILY deaths as there have been in ONE POINT FIVE YEARS from covid. Me thinks having an 'emergency rule' has been quite useful and they do not appear to want to relinquish that. Not when people buy that this is the end of days apocalypse and let them squash every human right that's been attained over 100's of years. For god's sake, you have people in here applauding when 2 old men and a woman are arrested for having wine at dinner in their own home saying they deserved it and are dangerous. That is a seriously dangerous path for people of the free world to allow to continue to be OK'd. Exactly correct ???????? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Covid is not going away. That has to be accepted. Which gladly, one by one, more enlightened countries (or ones where citizens made the push) are now doing. Singapore has announced that it's officially treating covid with the same respect as the flu. It's eliminating quarantines and vax requirements for all. Treatments such as ivermectin and HCQ need to be utilized plus continued research for even better treatments. But destroying people's lives needs to be put to an end under the guise of Covid is the Black Plague. It wasn't even equal to the Bird Flu of the past 5 years. Over Safety made sense in the beginning, at least with how it was advertised. But the information is out there now in abundance. Now it's no longer safety on their mind, it's more about not wanting to give back the absolute power and new wealth that has been attained while populations have been trained to heal like grown elephants tied by ropes to a stake in the ground. I truly hope sanity returns quickly for all nations. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the caveat it's going to down the line sometime. They have such a small population, that they could vaccinate everyone twice in a few weeks. So why not open up then, instead of just talking the talk? Cos it's just bluster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 45% of the US is now vaccinated, and so everywhere's reopening. Amazing considering how at one time we had the highest rate of infections. These small, occasional shipments from China are ridiculous. Why can't larger supplies be secured, from other sources? Why can't the manufacturing be done here? I'm in New York City and it's pretty much all opened up even masks have become optional . Here you can get your choice of vaccine and as of a couple days ago they will even come to you.
