Very true, bars used to be fun and good times were had, now I wouldn't step foot inside of one, just walking past and looking in every one inside looks pretty miserable.pretty depressing.

Restaurants needs a restaurant license and complete kitchen, menu and food. Bars without the above might try and open but get closed down soon with big fines for managers and owners under threat of 5 year license loss and prison here in Pattaya.. I expect the sales of small gas bottles, a rubber tube, a single burner and a wok and chopping board did well. Possibly sold as a 'kit' coming complete with a restaurant licence? (Tongue in cheek.) I have no connections to City Hall but wonder how many places obtained licenses recently..... the previous lockdown, I recall the gossip was most many places actually had both licences already. Wonder if they have fire extinguishers...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti vax mob are vociferously loud and self righteous in their views. I certainly did not see foreign bar owners setting an example in getting vaccinated or helping their staff get vaccinated. Did you? That's odd because a hotel owner told me he had to be vaccinated to carry on working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We accept loss of life for other reasons as well so why should covid be any different? Would you accept preventing one loss of life, especially of someone very old and frail, if it cost one tenth of the annual state budget?

I really don’t know of any family or close friends who are not vaccinated and none of them have had Covid… one close golf buddy it got along with his 2 daughters in the US over a year ago and that’s all I personally know… it’s a very low probability if one is fully vaccinated, healthy, not possess compromised illnesses/immune system or other poor health factors like age obesity or known/unknown high risk exposures… Some people are just unlucky - whether catching AIDS, perish in an air crash, killed by a drunk driver or reeling in Covid… irrational or disinformation to say I got Covid therefore vaccines aren’t all that effective….the data says otherwise…. My brother and sister contracted Covid Omicron after boosters. If you knew how to read I never said Vaccines were ineffective. Vaccines safe life's. You are the foolish one if you really think being Vaccinated will stop you from getting the Omicron strain. Tell that to the millions of vaccinated people around the world.

It is too late to do much except maybe get vaccinated or live in total isolation. At some point in time the governments have to get out of this and let people decide what they want to do and how to live. The intervention of government is no longer helping any of us. We don't really have a proper government, just a bunch of tinpot soldiers playing at being politicians. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"China take this seriously because their concerned about spreading the virus." Of course they are, there is no proof that the Chinese started the virus, of course they are concerned about spreading it. How easy would it be for some other country to have representatives sneak into Wuhan and do all the messing about which started the virus? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xylophone Posted January 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 24 minutes ago, sikishrory said: Whaddaya mean? Bars in patong have been open for weeks. That's true, because they have been open for some while now and on New Year's Eve, I was out in Bangla Road and it was absolutely packed with all of the bars open and bursting at the seams with customers, and I wondered if it was going to turn out to be a "super spreader" event. Two reasons for this, the first being from a lady friend of mine who has a couple of friends working in bars, and they have already been tested positive, but told to go home and stay quiet, and secondly because at least 70% of the people out on Bangla Road on that night were not wearing masks, nor practising any social distancing – – how could you when places were "packed to the rafters". It's quite possible that my suspicions turn out to be true because three good friends of mine have just been tested positive, and they were out on that evening, and feedback from them is that they have to self isolate home....because the hospitels are full, according to the health officials who turned up in full hazmat gear to test them. I have just spoken to one of them this morning and he sounds pretty rough and likens it to a heavy cold/flu, so I suspect that the virus is well and truly out and about in Patong, despite what the local authorities here are saying.......but then those of us "long-stayers" here have never believed the figures that have been published. So far I seem to be OK....thankfully. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were vaccinated so very mild symptoms. With Omicron they usually end 3 days after symptoms like clockwork. That is, if you feel it at all. I know, it's gone from something to be fearful of to just going "oh shoot, I need to isolate now". I don't fear it anymore. Got some cold like symptoms starting on an afternoon last week. Took some vitamins etc and went to bed early. Next morning, symptoms already went down. Went to the pharmacy to get a test. Test was negative. Ordered some more tests from Lazada. 4 days later with 0 symptoms I thought let's do another test. Guess what? Positive. Retested myself to be sure. If I didn't had retested myself I would never have known I even had Covid. I have had far worse colds from air conditioners than this. Time for Omicron to run thrive and provide everyone with a free natural booster. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually got 1 mate who has braved the system and gone to Pattaya for 3 months. He got in while "Test and Go" was still active and is sending me regular reports on WhatsApp. From what he's telling me, apart from the fact that I could no longer use T & G and certainly am not prepared to quarantine for 7 days or more, it's just not worth it! All the places I used to enjoy are closed, endless restrictions about which we all know etc etc. Now, you have to have a test to go and eat in a restaurant! Meanwhile here in England, life is getting back to normality. So yes, 2023...maybe. Edited January 5, 2022 by VBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 A friend who is a doctor in a private hospital in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok said that yesterday they did 300 PCR tests of which 100 were positive. They send them to an outside lab for genomic sequencing and it takes a while to get results but they assume most of them are omicron. The high positivity tells that omicron is already spreading rapidly in Bkk and may be the dominant strain already. Expect cases to go higher than the previously peak, as is happening elsewhere. So probably 50K+ for Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has sweep through Pattaya already even though the Thai authorities are cooking the testing books. This will happen everywhere, they can't slow it down now in about a month it will be all over for delta in los and the curve of Omicron will be flattening, that's how it is trending in SA and the UK and Australia is going that way now, good news we'll have to wait for another few weeks to get more data, my money is on that this will be the end of the pandemic and people will gain natural herd immunity, let's hope so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
