I think as in the UK, there is a massive difference in going to the pub for a beer with, or meeting some mates enjoying social interaction/bantering or going to a club  with the sole intention of getting wasted, meeting members of the opposite sex and parting to the early hours. Possibly do less of the latter the older we get but the risks of contracting colds, flu or Covid will be far less in an outside open bar than an enclosed club with sealed aircon. That's proven fact not guesswork so surely a soft opening as they did in the UK would be the way forward. Easy to monitor and regulate and to be fair, would satisfy a very large majority or ex-pats and tourists alike especially if it meant there was more likelihood of everything remaining open until Covid was under control enough to open the night clubs...

 

One of the biggest concerns to most of the bar owners still forced to pay the draconian Key money upfront just so they can open the bar, only to find it all shutdown again in a month or two..

Explain these facts. Show we where it is proven that labour workers on trucks need the income more than people in bars or people in work related to alcohol?

You just need to use a little imagination .

Ah I see, so not a fact then, just your feelings and opinion without any substance to back it up. Thought as much.

No no no. You stated it was a fact, so you thus must have proof. I suspect you have been rumbled and are now found wanting. Your viewpoints and the way you claim your opinion as a fact is very childish. I think you realise that now. 

Great advice from the same twonk who said “There’s no danger to public health be letting 300k Bangkokians leave to travel all over the provinces for Songkran. ????

Whose priorities? The people you immagine to be hardest hit, as opposed to the hardest hit?

November 1st was the date for restaurants being allowed to sell alcohol - December 1st was the date that "entertainment venues" are allowed to open - but no mention of alcohol! 

I'll bet, some may have been locked in there for months and only beer to survive on. They will run out like stabbed rats when the doors are opened!

I do not see many true tourists coming if the Puds and Bars along with night life are not open.  My Daughter and Husband what to come to see us as we 78 and not in good health.   But if they were true tourists they would be going to some place else that's for sure.

Why is "reply to this topic " before you even start reading.? 

I don't see  a full moon party without booze and babes...  

god help us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of people don't need the bar drama. In fact, if that's where you're looking for your next date you're a dinosaur.

 

I could easily enjoy weeks, months on end with my wife or if not married even alone puttering about the Andaman camping and snorkeling. Pack a couple of liters of scotch with the kit and yer good to go.

 

It's the CoE, tests, paperwork, blah  blah blah I object to.

 

Bars lol. Loserville.

It is always safe to completely disregard any post that ignores the points made and instead just mocks. 

The "points" made were just a regurgitation of alt right nonsense and not worth commenting on.

My apologies - I can not find my source for the info I had, but I'm sure I read it somewhere! Maybe "Old Timers Disease" kicking in! 

Does this mean bar girls have to turn the key gently in their lock and slip it up their shutters without making noise ?

I can go onto infowars.com and "learn" everything that you think you know. I have access to all the conspiracy websites and have enough critical thinking skills to determine they are nonsense.

Thailand is getting about 10,000 new cases every day and Anutin and the PM think it is ready to open up to tourists ! Western Australia has 0, yes, ZERO, and we are not open for tourists.  I know where I want to stay.

.... and so do I and a few others - but not many, I'll admit.

 

PS: Oops -just realised that I replied to a post three pages old.

The all encompassing evil alcohol. 

The key instigator of all our ills.

A reply like that does not deserve any more attention than this. Count yourself amongst the remaining 3,500 supporters of this regime.

My Thai wife regularly goes too the market, shoulder too shoulder, what’s the difference in a bar or does alcohol transmit Covid ?

I have been away from Thailand since July 2020 and all I hear is "shutdown" "lockdown" "come to Thailand, then go away", "we will be welcoming tourist soon, bugga off farangs, but welcome Chinese" I have no intentions of coming back until I am welcome regardless of vaxx status, tests or "yes" one minute "no" the next. I really don't want the stress of jumping through different hoops depending on which scientist says what.
