Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation (CCSA) has decided to ease lockdown restrictions further by lifting the night-time curfew and the ban on serving alcoholic drinks in restaurants in Bangkok and some other provinces, effective November 1st. The CCSA has also significantly reduced the number of the provinces in the “maximum and strict controlled areas” or the so-called “dark red” zone. The change includes Bangkok from November 1st, which coincides with the reopening of Thai borders to foreign arrivals. Only in the new “dark red” zone, which now includes Chanthaburi, Tak, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala and Songkhla, where COVID-19 infections are still surging, the curfew from 11 pm to 3 am will remain in place, as the restriction has been lifted in Thailand’s remaining 70 provinces.

I guess by prohibition, the poster you quoted was referring to alcohol sales, not curfew. And to that effect the article unfortunately states "According to the CCSA, Bangkok, Krabi, Phang-Nga and Phuket are the only provinces where alcoholic drinks may be served in eateries." 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JayClay Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Additionally I have read elsewhere it's only going to be 'certain parts' of Bangkok that will be permitted. If so then that's obviously a great way to contain covid, that is.... force people to travel from outside their home district in order to get a drink with their meal. 24 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johng Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well from the PBS linked article "According to the CCSA, Bangkok, Krabi, Phang-Nga and Phuket are the only provinces where alcoholic drinks may be served in eateries." and "No pubs and bars in Thailand can reopen at this time." Looks like prohibition to me. 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phoenix Rising Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Clear as mud as usual. "There were also mixed messages on if tourist zones/districts in provinces (Like Hua Hin, Pattaya, Cha-am, or Chiang Mai) could sell alcohol in restaurants or if governors could allow them to do so and this is NOT YET CRYSTAL CLEAR. This will likely get further clarification later this weekend, although one may need to wait for the governor’s orders. The press meeting did mention 13 specific districts (which includes Banglamung/Pattaya) being part of the tourist pilot zones but was not clear on if alcohol sales would be allowed at restaurants." https://thepattayanews.com/2021/10/29/thailands-covid-19-center-committee-announces-more-covid-19-relaxations-effective-monday-november-1st/?fbclid=IwAR30sbzaANMDc54yhFTdv6pDsNRTnVggV_pyXMZ7B0DFdR5Wq0bGFg92sw0 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FalangJaiDee Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 I’d bet some baht they’re going to somehow categorize gogos, clubs, and beer bars as distinctly risk-laden and keep them shut until there’s almost none left.

That did not work for many bar owners. The police examine the license which determines whether the establishment is a bar or restaurant. Places without a restaurant license were raided and closed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they covered that with "eateries" 7 hours ago, zzaa09 said: Throughout many provinces, such was never truly observed or enforced. Yes but in other formally very touristic places they jump on every offence they can find that's not to say that the drinking and dancing and partying doesn't go on but it's now rather risky like the "prohibition" times in America ..I wonder if there will be a Thai NASCAR (ish) or something else phenomenon emerge from this era. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greenwich Boy Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Four blue zones in Chiang Mai. Booze in restaurants or pubs in these zones? Who knows. I reckon the decision will be given to the new governor, that way if it goes pear shaped no one in Bangkok is to blame. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
