Chonburi Governor releases new Covid-19 orders: Alcohol ban at restaurants/nightlife stays

[webfact]

Chonburi, Thailand-Here are the highlights of today’s orders from the Chonburi Governor announced around lunchtime today, Halloween, October 31st, 2021.

 

We are not going to detail every single point or business that was previously allowed to open but will focus on changes or differences. Here is the link to the Chonburi PR with the original orders. (In Thai)

 

All are effective tomorrow, November 1st. (Although the curfew, as previously announced, ended last night and is not in place tonight, Halloween.)

 

 -Alcohol ban stays at restaurants, bars, nightlife, entertainment venues stay closed. However, they did say they are “preparing” rules and guidelines to allow these venues to open “in the future” without a specific date.

 

-Snooker, bowling, rollerskating venues, and pool halls can reopen.

 

-Arcades, game shops, can reopen. Amusement parks and water parks in malls however must remain closed.

-Most venues, including restaurants, gyms, etc, can open until 11:00 PM. Convenience stores, markets, supermarkets, can open 24 hours again if they choose.

 

-Bang Lamung District, Pattaya City, Sriracha District, Koh Sichang District and Sattahip District (only Na Chom Thian Subdistrict and Bang Saray Sub-district) are officially pilot tourism areas. However, as of this second (see first note) this doesn’t appear to have any immediate change other than “rules being reviewed” for entertainment venues, etc.

Water parks with open air, chlorine water and natural distancing remains closed. Sigh.

[talahtnut]

Ramp up the ridiculous fear with idiotic rules.

Some travel thousands of miles to find 1920s prohibition.

Not me!

Nobody travels thousands of miles to drink. They come to Thailand to find their brides and orgy partners.

Yeah, doesn't make sense.  The super spreader events are when you have to visit immigration and be jammed in line with a few hundred others.  Insane.

Thailand is full of expat/tourist alcoholics many come here it seems and would rather drink then meet a partner.

Would point out alcoholics are people who want to stop drinking but can't.

Most of us are happy to keep drinking .... so not alcoholics.

 

Back to the OP, no tourists are coming.

Why isn't my local open air swimming pool allowed to open?

Alcoholics are people who can't do without alcohol, whether they like it or not.

Most bars have a pool/snooker table .

So , can they reopen ?

Strange regulations ... the virus represents no danger anymore if a pool table is near ?

One of my great pleasures here is to visit a beach bar, have a beer, and enjoy the sunset.  Maybe have dinner.  This regulation doesn't make sense.  Did this yesterday, had a beer, but had to be in a coffee mug.  Stupid.

Why should they be ramped up in an environment of them being relaxed?

Alcoholics are people who have no problem with alcohol .

But they have a problem without it .

"A recent poll shows that most Thais are against reopening the country because they fear tourists will bring in new infections and that not enough locals have been vaccinated against Covid-19"

 

Yeah right, fear the fully vaccinated tourists whom most probably vaxed with the proper vaccine unlike the locals who got some dodgy vaccines from China and Russia...

The similarity to 1920s prohibition and the present is a heavy handed, ineffective, destructive and corrupt government.

if its every week, it makes you a full time one. I have one can per day, every day, so I guess I join you in that category.  

[dogfish180]

At last, the roller skating venues are open again! ????????
