Makes perfect sense, Thailand just isn't ready yet to start opening up before vaccinations have reahed the targets.

Very hard to do that when they are turning their nose up at a free gift of 1 million Pfizer jabs awaiting paperwork according to Asean Now this morning.

My instinct is screaming at me to have nothing more to do with this wretched country , nor spend one Baht in it. 

CCSA operations centre proposes more easing of restrictions in COVID-19 “dark red” provinces

 

 

The operations centre of Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has agreed on further easing of lockdown restrictions in “dark red” provinces, including the adjustment of curfew hours and shortening mandatory quarantine for fully inoculated foreign arrivals.

 

Informed government sources say that the proposal will be submitted to the full meeting of the CCSA, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, on Monday.

 

The sources disclosed that, at its meeting on Thursday, the operations centre resolved to adjust curfew hours to 10pm to 4am, and ease restrictions on ten types of business activities and venues, including:

• Centres for children or pre-school child
• Museums, historical or archaeological sites
• Learning or science and cultural centres and art galleries
• Manicure shops
• Tattoo, massage and spa parlours
• Cinemas
• Restaurants with a live band with air circulation systems meeting “COVID-free setting standard
• Consumer product sections of malls, hypermarkets, outdoor stadia and convenience stores opening hours extended to 9pm

I was living life on the edge yesterday, went for a swim in the condo pool, and there was music playing, luckily it was before 21:30.

I hope it wasn't after 21.00 you rascal.????

Music in restaurants. That's great news. I wonder what we will be allowed next? Sugar in our tea? Milk on our cornflakes. This is really very exciting.

It's only for early evenings - to calm tourists down to the point that they can sleep after the excitement of visiting temples and floating markets all day. HTH

When Folks come round my house for dinner I think we can all sing ' Convidious yourself at home , convidious your self part of the furniture .'

Oh , another one for a sing song '  Regrets I have a few .............................I did it the PM's way'.

So these fat bureaucrats sit in their air conditioned offices drawing the same fat rewards they have always drawn and casually condemn business and struggling workers to another month of austerity. Will the population put up with this for much longer?

I do wish they would stop pussy footing around either the country is ready to open up, which means everything for everyone or its not, if its not fit for the local public to enjoy themselves why would the government even consider opening up to the world. - Just greed at the expense of others, either open up or don't

It is all about more people being vaccinated

Musical chairs.....dangerous stuff in the wrong hands.

 

I am currently reading, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".  Very interesting book and well researched and written.

Stadia are open air venues, rush hour transport isn't.

But then again what would I know, I don't have a chest full of commemorative jubilee gongs and jump wings earned on a picnic outing to "Flight of the Gibbon" in Chiang Mai.

That will certainly protect the audience from catching Covid-19!

Apparently, the virus travels further if amplifiers are used.

I have to reluctantly say, rather here than Angeles, where I almost stayed for good. It was third world there, dirt roads, burning garbage daily, the wet markets the most pathetic I'd ever seen, "fresh" was limp and spoiled veges, so I left. I can only imagine the horror there now...

I think more than half of them would put up with it, and much worse besides (the "worse" is on its way, in terms of suffering, and the next PM!) It's amazing how bad it needs to get before people just revolt. Not only Thailand, but anywhere, they would have to virtually take a persons home off them before they get off their butts, anywhere. It's the activists that are willing to die that drive it, not the general sweatys, they only throng the streets when all the work has been done, over decades....

meanwhile the rest of the world is opening up, and everything is back to normal, slowly

 

why would you want to go to Thailand and take the risks of a lockdown when you escaped one in your home country ????

in Australia, it's a full lockdown and the population (with red or yellow jackets) is out in the street asking for blood ????

 

don't know if you have seen it on TikTok, but some of those protests in Australia are awesome, police fleeing the scene being chased by locals etc... roadblocks with trucks etc... ????

 

I see a revolution coming in Australia ????

Will this plan be followed? Nov. 1st reopening? Objectively?

There is nothing objective about the way this shower reaches or implements decisions.

What in Satans Name has Music got Anything to do with C19? 

Does Music Spread C19 ,  I am sure it Doesn't. 

Music will be allowed so long as it does not influence and promote the provative movement of the hips !

I don't want to brag but I read that masterwork in 1966. You really do need to catch up on your reading. But then I've just finished the same author's Berlin Diary and that's been on the shelf since 1970.

Clive James was an incredible wit and a deep thinker besides, "Cultural Amnesia" was a masterpiece as a far as a collection of essays go. We lost him in November 2019, I wonder what he would have made of it all? I miss his column "Rumors of my death" and I miss him.

I’ve heard they are bringing back amputations.    You’ll lose your hand if you get caught stealing, but they haven’t yet stated what the punishment is for the more serious crime of not wearing a face mask.
