BritManToo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 7 hours ago, webfact said: During previous closures, especially the first closure last year, when Covid-19 was still novel, most restaurant owners understood and supported the closures. The overall mood has now changed in Pattaya, with many angry, asking why the vaccine program isn’t moving at a quicker pace (in their opinion) or why restrictions such as allowing only outdoor dining or capacity limits could not be implemented versus a complete ban on dining in at restaurants. Why are shopping malls essential? But small restaurants not essential? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to decide if it wants to continue be a big red light district with many entertainment venues or if it also wants to have other businesses/companies that don't depend on tourists. You don't mean to suggest that Pattaya's much heralded shift to family vacations and quality tourists is dead in the water, do you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs, bacon, perhaps a piece of fatty sausage, toast bread and coffee. Every day the same. Perhaps now they find a healthier alternative. My favourite breakfast! Needs a bit of fried liver to complete it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are closed now. If you live here many years then you know many people from seeing. Alcoholics want to stop drinking but can't. I'm a drunk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thomas J Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 I "think" that these Covid measures are nothing more than the governments way of showcasing it "is doing something". They don't care if the restrictions really accomplish anything. At best the restrictions merely kick the can down the road. When you look at various countries and states in the USA those employing identical lockdown, quarantine, mask mandates etc have markedly different Covid infection rates. If they were effective, those countries or states with strict measures would have demonstrably lower rates. They don't At the very least some common sense should apply. If a restaurant as outside dining, and sufficient spacing between tables the risk of covid transmission is near zero. All of these measure might possibly, could be reduce the number of Covid cases. However there is a 100% certainty that closing the economy will severely cripple the economy and put people in desperate financial distress. I suspect you will see crime increase as people without money turn to criminal activities to survive. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No assistance of any kind , no reductions , no discounts.nothing. I am still afloat but have lost everything , as in I am totally broke . All I have left is faith and hope but unsure how much longer I can keep going . over 15 years in business , paying company and personal tax, I got nothing in return. And most frustrating part, even though ordered to close for most part of the year, local gov wants full amount sign tax and applying late payments fee and interest We had a 15 baht deduction on our water bill. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have enough knowledge and Pattaya will be opened again you can buy one of the many abandoned bars and make a fortune. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
