Popular Post webfact Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 File photo for reference only Bars, pubs, nightclubs and other entertainment venues in Thailand could remain closed until 2022, according to a proposal due to be considered by the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). A report surfaced in Thai media on Wednesday (Nov 10) that Cabinet ministers have proposed keeping entertainment venues closed until after the new year. However, countdown events in five locations across the country, presumably in key tourism areas, are set to be given the green light to go ahead. The report also said that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-Cha called on business owners within the entertainment industry “not to be selfish” with regards to reopening. The proposals to keep entertainment venues, as well as possible easing of restrictions in Thailand, are set to be announced on Friday (Nov 11) following the conclusion of a CCSA meeting, which the PM chairs. Despite restrictions surrounding alcohol sales in restaurants being eased in some locations earlier this month, namely Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket and Phang Nga, bars, pubs and nightclubs across the country remain closed. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-11-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Get your business in front of millions of customers who read ASEAN NOW with an interest in Thailand every month - email [email protected] for more information 6 1 16 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gandtee Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 'They should not be selfish'? As a well known activist said "How dare he? How dare he?" Many people in the entertainment business rely on being able to serve alcohol which is part and parcel of the industry. Due to the restrictions imposed on them, they and their families are without jobs and wanting for food and lifes essentials. How dare he call them selfish when he and his gang of self serving cronies are looking forward to their banquet where they can pat each other on the back and say what a good job they have done in bringing the country to its knees? Hipocricy is rampant in this leadership. How dare he!!? ???? 41 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 I basically gave up even trying to find logic in Thailand. But sometimes I still think: Why? What do they think is the point of this? Do they want to make sure fewer people visit Thailand? Do they think more people will get infected when more places, with close contact, will open? Is it just to pi@$ off people? What is the real reason for this? I think even those people who make the decisions must be aware that nightlife is a major attraction for people who live in Thailand and who visit Thailand. 25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hopefully they open pubs/bars in Pattaya soon. I saw loads of "Pattaya looking" types in Bangkok last weekend. I think we are being invaded. There will be rows of Pattaya plated Fortuners jamming up Soi 4 soon, bringing their unvaccinated brethren with them, Chang vests, cargo shorts and all. Sunburnt shaved heads everywhere. Please lord, open a few bars down there - this has to stop ????. 6 1 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FalangJaiDee Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 I feel the need to stir the pot. Does anyone else believe this is a DELIBERATE effort to kill the red-light venues, as an indirect way to actualize the xenophobia of the current “administration.” They hate foreigners, they want them out, and this is an effective way to do it without overtly declaring so; similar to the retirement alterations There is no other logic behind these specific closures, considering that places like tree town are blatantly selling alcohol and the place is packed with people every night. there is no logic in closing open air bars if this is allowed max 23 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
