Come to think of it, a wet cloth mask would be getting close to waterboarding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip, man. There are people starving on the streets, being hand fed on the beach, millions lost their jobs, people made homeless and suffering long covid and death ...........and you're moaning about a pool. I aint seen the wife for 16 months, do you think that should come ahead of your opening of the pool or after ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aint seen the wife for 16 months, do you think that should come ahead of your opening of the pool or after ? I don't think any of those things stand up under comparison. That's like saying no one should eat because there are starving children in Africa. Life goes on and people use the pool as a form of therapy and exercise; quite necessary. Clearly your seeing the wife comes after. He is here and can walk to the pool. Unless there is a reason for closing it; it will be an issue. I live in a place where they can control it effectively. But not every accommodation with have the staff and layout to be able to do that effectively and so may choose to close instead. Life goes on. The main thing is to stay healthy in mind and body, so that you can continue to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Good health! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that I accept this anymore. It says above your own post pools to close 9pm to 4am. Not sure what the previous timings were but would getting people out at 9pm be difficult? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing areas where people can be encouraged to socialise without masks and, maybe, proper distancing, during a pandemic that is getting worse here has a lot to do with it though.

samtam Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 21 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: But people coming and going using the same facilities, toilets changing rooms etc does have something to do with the pandemic. You swimming alone of course has ZERO do with the Pandemic. You swimming in a busy pool does have something do with the pandemic. The clear issue here is that intelligent discretion has been removed - there is no reason that a simple regulation can’t be put in place: i.e. Condo Pools and Moobaan pools - Toilets and changing rooms closed - depending on size of pool - 1 person per 20sqm of pool size (i.e. usually somewhere around 4-5 people per pool per time). This would allow some to exercise etc and doesn’t take a great deal of policing etc Unfortunately we are all living in a time when intelligent discretion is minimised because the lowest common denominator is a fool. We allow residents of 1 unit to book for 1 hour. It works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanomazu Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 This is why you need to rent a house with a private pool. Some fool closing your swimming pool would be so annoying it doesn't bear thinking about. You need a pool in Thailand, too hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as our condo in Bangkok, closed since April. I can however see 2 other condo pools from my condo that are luckily for the occupants still in use. Must be by order of each Juristic rather than a blanket rule. I will be dumping condo living as soon as possible for more self controlled facilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
