webfact Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew. Photo: PR Phuket By The Phuket News PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has submitted a formal request to the national government to allow Phuket ease certain COVID restrictions ‒ including allowing alcohol to be sold and bars and entertainment venues to reopen in order to help alleviate the financial hardship suffered by the residents on the island. The appeal, issued today (Sept 27) and addressed to the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), was titled “Policy recommendations and guidelines for adjusting disease control measures in workplaces or at risk locations” and specifically referred to the regulations issued under Article 9 of the Emergency Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situations. In his letter Governor Narong pointed out that the Phuket Province has opened as a pilot area for tourists under the Phuket Sandbox scheme since July 1, to help drive the economy while implementing disease control measures by allowing tourists from low and medium risk countries to travel to Thailand without quarantine, all in accordance with the rules set out by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.

Karma80 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 1.2 Permit to sell and drink liquor or alcoholic beverages within the shop [venue] by specifying it to be sold during 11:00 - 14.00 hrs. and from 17.00 - 22.00 hrs. 1.3 Music performances are to be permitted, but not more than three instruments, or music may be played in the shop [venue] at normal times. Because we need more annoying rules to change later and keep everyone on their toes. Tourists love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The sooner they get the stupid thought out of their non intoxicated minds that bars and alcohol spread the disease more than someone sitting down at a restaurant, the sooner the better for the majority of the expat p*ss heads, self included. I mean do they think we are irresponsible, some of us can handle our own and know how to social distance, well at least until a young filly forces us to become infected with Covid after a few drinks. Only way to go, I say as opposed to getting it from some stranger walking past you at Lotus, at least you'll have memories when your lights are going out ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IamNoone88 Posted September 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 I wasn't aware they had stop selling alcohol. They just serve it is a different way. When the door is closed, a window will always be open. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRToMRT Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Locked indoors I actually drink more than when the pubs are open. When the pubs were open I drank 2 or 3 times a week, now its everyday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhacsyn Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Circling around Patong this morning it may be preemptive but many restaurants and official cafe bar restaurants are preparing for alcohol sales from 1st October. Hopefully not wishful thinking again. Story is they will sell under Covid controls from 11am to 2pm and 5pm to 10pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrotobike Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Phuket - sandbox full of Covid, now want bars? Not against fully opening up as soon as possible (inc bars) but can the Phuket muppet stop thinking that Phuket is special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
