Bangkok: Bars and pubs must get all the accreditation and follow all protocols to be declared "restaurants"

[webfact]

A Bangkok Municipal Authority Covid-19 meeting warned pubs, bars and karaokes in the Thai capital that they can't just serve a bite to eat and get away with serving alcohol.

 

Deputy governor Pol Lt-Gen Sophon Phisutthiwong chairing the meeting said that such establishments had to apply for the proper SHA, SHA+ and Covid Free Setting accreditation and follow all the required protocols before they would be allowed to operate as restaurants.

 

This would enable them to serve alcohol up to 11 pm. 

 

Checks continue across the city's 50 districts to ensure that this is being followed to the letter.

 

Top of the agenda was the city's response to the Omicron variant's arrival in Thailand though there had been no case in Bangkok as yet, reported INN.

 

Calls were made for continuing strict measures and ensuring that protocols were being followed in the Thai capital.

that makes perfect sense to me.

I'm curious what a 7/11 ham and cheese warmed between the thighs of a dusky maiden on agogo play mat will taste like?

Thank God for the SHA+.

I've been for a ride last couple of days.
All the old SH1TTY little bars that are now restaurants.
Soi Buakhao, soi 7, Beach Road. All serving alcohol. 

I hope we can get a few GoGo bars in walking street with Sha+,

Call it a GoGo restaurant and you can be open in a week.....

The absolute lunacy is unbelievable.  Yep, people eating food will end Covid.

[natway09]

Just let them open the bars with the rules as last December. 

The staff & patrons are not all stupid

Apparently all the SHA accreditation courses are full for the next few weeks, especially in Chonburi.

I wonder what the actual definition of a restaurant in Thailand is, to obtain a license.

Does it actually need to have a kitchen for example?

From what I've seen so far that's not the case.

Just another way of controlling everyone and everything, creating a myriad of rules and regulations and then bribing cops to ignore them or fining people for breaking them.

Even the Thai karaoke bars on soi Kohpai were open last night. 

 

I'm going to soi 6 this afternoon, hopefully there will be a few Sha+ restaurants open, I will have an appetite.

In most countries, a restaurant should have a kitchen to cook the food.

  In Thailand, likely a brown envelope with sufficient funds should suffice the cause.

  TIT after all, and COVID being a new thing for Thailand as well as the world, it

creates all sorts of new problems.

Clever the Thais, always finding opportunities when introduced to new things.

Correct Safety, It's all about control. This new controlling gov't won't be giving you your freedom back any time soon. Same picture around the world. Our basic rights and freedoms are forfitted via Covid (protection) they're doing this to protect you from CV. 555

Accreditation is by way of fat brown envelopes.
