The Department of Health has ordered all restaurants to strictly follow COVID-19 prevention measures for the upcoming holiday season.

 

Director-General Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai said due to the increasing number of tourists during the long weekend holiday, the department asks restaurants in tourist attractions to strictly comply with prevention guidelines to reduce the risk of another COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Restaurants must have tables cleaned immediately after customers leave them, as well as disinfect all contact points and toilets every 1-2 hours while providing clean utensils and separate spoons for shared dishes, maintaining distances of 1-2 meters between tables, and ventilating the restaurant as much as possible.

 

According to Dr Suwanchai, restaurants must also screen customers before they enter and ensure they are using the "Thai Save Thai" application. Additionally, diners must wear their masks when they’re not eating and can stay for no longer than two hours.

Most ridiculous OP of the day. Hold that perhaps of the month.

Few door up from us is a nice open uptairs corner restaurant. Has live music etc.

Friday and Saturday we could find a table. 

No worries we went elsewhere. 

New place Jodd Fair (same owner as previous night train market).

Not a face mask in sight. 

Bit difficult when your eating, chatting, and drinking booze.

Does anyone vet these stupid statements.

Edit: I just noticed the end bit..

"Can only stay for 2 hours".

Rule #1 ....if you make a rule make sure it's enforceable. Otherwise you quickly become a laughing stock.

Mind you that was achieved long ago.

Daily spit-take thread.

A license for the Brownshirts to print money.

Make the rules but won't enforce them, TIT

Who is going to go to a restaurant and pull their face mask up every time the fork or drink leaves their mouth? I arrive next week, but the videos I’ve seen show crowded ‘restaurants’ with not a mask in sight and people actually having fun.
