Hello

 

Reopening is "advertised" everywhere.. Dine in allowed BUT of course not able to get a glass of wine or a beer ..
On top of it I just come to know that even curfew being at 9 o clock at night restaurants HAVE TO CLOSE AT 8 !!!!

Which nonsense is that ??

Then just say restaurants may open only at noon and for tea time afternoon.. will be clearer !!

Best regards

Definitely need to make it later.

 

Planning isn't this governments strong suit.

"BUT of course not able to get a glass of wine or a beer .."

 

Ask for beer in the small Thai restaurants and see what you get. Cheers.

I know very well some break the law..

My point is, prohibiting any type or quantity of alcohol, doesn t help any fine dining restaurant (as they make most of their profit/margin on alcohol sales) and how, drinking a glass of wine or beer with your meal would affect the Covid issue.. and on top of it now, forcing all eateries to close at 8 is a nonsense..

Have a nice day

Saw a few lads at a restaurant yesterday having a beer with their meal.. Darkside Pattaya.

They are not being forced to close at 8, they are being allowed to open until 8.

 

Enjoy your day.

Everyone needs to be home and in bed by 9 PM.......I  had a wild and crazy night last night......I stayed up till 9.30 PM.....

Covid is primarily nocturnal, coming out around 8:01 p.m. and is known to favor lager residue.

Yeah, that caught me out last night too, lol. I went for a pizza at the local Italian restaurant just after 8:00 and was told to go away. Luckily, I had one in the freezer so I just fired up the oven when I got back home. Never mind, I managed a swim and a haircut, so that's 2 out of 3, lol!

In Bangsaeni many restaurants still closed, probably not worth opening with reduced occupancy.  Also parks and car parks still closed - perhaps they didn't get the memo.

Need to get vaccines into Thai arms before reopening! So far Pattaya is way behind the rest of the country!

Just to confuse matters a bit more there is this.....

The problem with allowing alcohol in restaurants is  simple people will eat something and gather to drink. I will not dine in for anything but breakfast until I can have a glass of wine with my food, so my thoughts are they can't allow until bars can open as well

I see patience isn't the strong suit here this is Thailand give it time as it is being discussed in Bangkok right now. Fine dining that is good one. No one is ever happy that is part of life!

I hope you managed the swim and haircut separately, although I know some barbers like to cut hair when it's wet.

They want restaurants to close at 20:00 because the curfew starts at 21:00 . If they allow restaurants to open untill 21:00 , a lot of people would be outside after curfew . Ok i also think the curfew is B.S but this explains your "nonsense" .

many people whinging about the 8pm, I suspect many are restaurant owners.

Probably waiting for the weekend when Bangkokians arrive en masse.

Pattaya is behind Bangkok and surrounding provinces plus Phuket but is ahead of the rest of the country.

The current PM is a natural killjoy; very conservative with a small c. His position as Covid Czar allows him to continue imposing restrictions which may not always have a sound factual or scientific reasoning.

Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that we are still able to buy alcohol, though only during 6 hours per day. I suspect that is more down to the big brewing companies rather than the PM.

Actually I don't think it is... it is behind many part of the country, but probably ahead of some areas.

It is pretty simple with the alcohol. When it was allowed many people used the restaurants as a kind of bars to gather and drink with their friends there. I think there is no other reason why it is not allowed. So thank those people. 

Yes Nanaplaza. It's not rocket science to work out that restaurants etc must close well before curfew time so they can clean and get home.

Some people need to perhaps get over themselves.

This is adding a rule to another rule.. Let the restaurants be open till 9 or close before if they wish or at least finish to take orders from 8 o clock.. Then it is the customers and staff responsability to be home before 9 to respect the curfew hours..

Why if you go to a restaurant 5 minutes away by car from your home, force you to be out at 8 ??

We cancelled our booking for tonight.. Not worth trying to enjoy one evening out if you have to rush to eat and go..

Have a nice day
