Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 FILE / Employees wait for customers outside a bar along the Soi Cowboy touristic street / AFP) Pubs, bars and karaoke bars Thailand’s COVID-19 restricted zones and “sandbox” provinces may be allowed to reopen from January 16th, on the condition that they meet the required criteria and pass assessments by relevant authorities, according to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). The Public Health and Interior ministries, as well as the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, have been designated by the CCSA to enforce safety measures to be imposed on these venues. One of the required safety measures is that venues must improve their environment and air circulation system and that all staff are fully inoculated against COVID-19.

Popular Post Screaming Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 Actually, this is great news. It has been so peaceful in Thailand since the bars were closed. There is no reason to rush the opening of these venues. This delay will enable more citizens to get vaccinated and prevent Covid infections and death. 9 10 23 2 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely think that the many, many Thai citizens, who have already been deprived of income for over 7 months due to the closures, and are struggling to feed their families, will disagree with your view that it is "great news".

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 Dear TAT: Kindly disseminate this news to your overseas reps and travel agencies around the globe, as well as publish it on your own and the Thailand Travel Pass websites, so foreigners who are planning to visit your (allegedly) opened-up country for the holidays and New Year still have a chance to change their plans and go somewhere else instead. I mean, why jump through hoops with all sorts of cost-intensive documentation and pre-travel requirements just to arrive at a destination that is basically dead? 58 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any visitors will have made their bookings for the next month or so in full awareness of the current nightlife restrictions as no announcements have been made confirming the opening of entertainment areas before this one. This is not a tightening up of restrictions, it's an easing. 2 9 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are truly one strange cookie, people have killed themselves because their business has folded, the car has been either repossessed or sold, they have lost there homes because they have been repossessed, their families have no food, and you say great, have you no shame ? I can't say what I want to say as I would be banned or given a long holiday, maybe we should petition to have your membership revoked.
