SteveB2 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Is it just me... or are there some serious kill-joys trying to make a bid to turn Thailand into an alcohol free country where all music and public fun is banned? In my minds eye, is a vision of government house, populated by glum faced Quakers tut-tutting over every one caught smiling. 'Burn them at the stake' ...

You can not make this stuff up. Talking about being inept. Totally delusional as usual. I often wonder do they hold meetings and check what they have said previously and how effective it went. It would seem they just throw 'any item in the hat'. No accountability or monitoring. I look forward to the next chuckle installment. Will it be today or tomorrow. ???????? And people are wondering why the uk won't accept the vaccinations from thailand to enter. Come on ex-pats who want to return home. Can you blame the uk you should all know thailand cant organize a pre up in a brewery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DoctorB Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 The music thing is a distraction. The essential truth is that no country with a 9.00 pm curfew can sustain a tourist industry. Except in the most extreme emergencies curfews are a human rights abomination. Sadly the Thais seem all too ready to put up with them and one fears that in one form or another there will be a curfew in Thailand for a long time to come; they are just so convenient to the authoritarian mentality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. It's how politics works, but you wouldn't know that because you are honest. 1) Publicly announce bars and music venues (drinking) will be closed 2) Stay close to phone and wait 3) Receive phone calls and meet with beer and whiskey companies, and club reps for some "tea" and chat 4) Go home, place cash in safe hidden in house 5) Announce openings 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GrandPapillon Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thailand is a no go zone for now, I think the Generals quite like that idea, peace and quiet, and full control of the population what possibly could go wrong, once they remove all those silly restrictions? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

hotchilli Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 13 hours ago, snoop1130 said: 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 So why are these provinces still deemed dark red if it's safe to open these once restricted businesses?

Popular Post Midwit Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 Everyone take a good look at the picture from the article. Get a really good look at these people. They are sitting around making arbitrary decisions that effect millions of people. Do they look competent? Do they look informed? Do they look reasonable? Do you trust them with your life? Your families lives? Why should they be listened to? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 was not aware of Clive James passing on. Many years ago , about 40 possibly I sat with my mother over the Xmas period and watched C J on the box. He was brilliant , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah late in the evening will not be possible if the curfew is still from 21.00. Besides I never knew it was forbidden. Karaoke yeah...but is no music. That is screaming through a microphone by people who think they can sing. That should be forbidden for ever. So sitting together in a restaurant with so loud music you can't talk with eachother and no alcoholic drinks... THere must be fun Even pre Covid I wouldn’t visit a restaurant if they were playing music, as you say you go to eat and chat not to have your ear drums blasted and Karaoke never! Fortunate.y plenty of good restaurants that have neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
