Looks like prohibition to me. . I envision hundreds of thousands of Italians and French and Russian and American and UK tourists swarming Thailand..... When Thailand actually does entirely open up. More BS idiocy. Found out today the old couple whose restaurant I loved and frequented are no longer with us. They had no children, no family, no place to live other than above their establishment, which finally went out of business, so they they committed suicide. I was very fond of both of them. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok and Phuket quite rightly so they are both over 70% fully vaccinated, I wonder about Krabi and Phang Nga however. Krabi only 36.8% fully vaccinated and Phang Nga a little better with 54.7% so if they can now serve alcohol why on earth was this not allowed weeks ago in Bangkok and the other Provinces? Are the schools re-opening in Krabi and Phang Nga with such a low vaccination rates also? Or is this just not as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that tends to lead to being 'sedated' by wine. One of the problems I foresee with this 'prohibition' is a recoil effect and 'party' time. Oh well, we'll cope, bring it on.

RichardColeman Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I'm all for opening up and getting rid of curfews and alcohol bans, but I serious doubt that will have any effect on tourism. It's the nonsense issues for the average tourist to get there in my opinion that's stopping them rather than what they can do when they are there. After all, there are muslim countries visited that do not allow drinking and what we see as enjoyable, but they still get tourists in normal days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Pattaya on the list of cities where alcohol can be consumed in restaurants and bars? Are go go bars going to open? Are G clubs allowed?

Chad3000 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Sorry, if you cannot purchase alcohol in pubs and bars the curfew / ban has not been lifted. It just means you can enjoy a beer with a burger or steak. Big deal. Can do that at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors65 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Seems it will be done the same way as for the last two times. Alcohol allowed in eateries, if this works smooth, bars could reopen two weeks later, so probably mid of Nov. At least in some Provinces Edited October 29, 2021 by Mentors65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
