Chonburi warns everyone who went to a “gentlemen’s club” in Jomtien recently to take a Covid-19 ATK test

[Jonathan Fairfield]

 

The Chonburi Public Health Office today (November 13th) has released a warning to inform EVERYONE who went to a club recently in Jomtien to take an ATK test.

 

EVERYONE who visited the Jade Gentlemen’s Club (Jade House) in the Jomtien Nivete housing estate in Nongprue sub-district from November 6th to November 12th, 2021, please take a Covid-19 ATK test.

 

TPN media notes that, legally, all bars and nightclubs are closed, however, the venue may have been operating as a restaurant.

 

That was not immediately made clear by the notice, although the Ministry of Public Health has previously made it clear that they only are concerned about health issues and that those present at the venue should not fear any legal action if reporting Covid-19 related concerns.

Why would a "gentlemens club" be Open?

Depends on what was on the menu really, doubt there was any food on it.

It is a sarcastic retort Harry. 

Spent 6 months in Chiang Mai this year "bars" were almost always open.

The authorities know exactly where in fact in one spot the doormen are policemen in plain clothes

 

It cannot be stopped  "Cut the nonsense and open the country"

Gentleman's club always makes me smile, in plain speak they are brothels, none are actually clubs and you wont find many gentleman in them. Went to one in Jontiem 20 years ago called the Winchester Club, the best thing about it was the pictures in the toilet, the food was not bad though.

If it goes in your mouth does that count as food?

If so we can guess at  at least one menu item!#

With covid raging here, I'm stunned some would even visit these places.  Kinda scary to me.  And yes, I've been to the Jade club and Winchester before.  Just not sure it's a good idea now.

No mention of how many covid 19 positives?

Not as a "health spa" ?

The pool tables were okay as well.

Can't sit across from another person in a pub but can get jiggy in the club.

 

Thailand. Makes perfect sense

entertainment places have  proven to provide a breeding ground for the virus. Despite restrictions venues and patrons defy the law putting others at risk. People wonder and moan  why such places in Pattaya are closed. The reason is obvious.

does anyone know how reliable the home tests are that can be bought from the pharmacies here?  i bought one the other day for 100 baht - the type that are inserted into the nostril.  are they trustworthy do people know, or is it best to go to a clinic / hospital for testing?

we want to test before heading on a road trip to see yaai, and would rather do it at home than go to a hospital

Why not?

[cheapcanuck]

Want to see Thailands underbelly, go to any gentleman's club. 

[Gsxrnz]

I suspect the intrepid owner of the club is working on the premis that any publicity is good publicity.  Probably have a serious uptake in business from next week.

[Silencer]

Amazing menu....calorie reducing in fact!

Nice to see they cleaned that up and "tip-toed" around the business model.

That could become a very expensive (hospitalization) gentleman's club visit.... ????......Gentlemen...????

That's exactly what I do as I don't want to spend a few weeks in the hospital cells just because I test positive.

False positives are not unusual so get a few tests when buying & keep them in the fridge.

If you test yourself positive then test again.

Not a criticism of your post but, up & down this fine land bars, restaurants & entertainment venues are openly ' Open' serving beer wine food to all and sundry, if you speak to people from other parts of the Kingdom they will tell you it's true.

 

In Pattaya the overzealous police will even raid private residences and arrest people who are having fun with friends, there are very few tourists in Pattaya so their mainstream moneymaking scams aren't working.

 

I break the law daily, if you follow the letter of the law exactly, only one person In the household can drink alcohol, me & the mrs have a bottle wine with dinner, that's illegal technically.

I haven't been to Jade in years, but it certainly used to be a GC, hotel, and restaurant.  Good food too.
