webfact Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 File photo for reference only The head of the Thai Restaurant Association reported huge numbers of Thais, Thai families and friends visited restaurants to celebrate New Year. Denied the chance to go to pubs and nightclubs the population was instead opting for places offering entertainment such as live music as well as food. Such "half and half" places where they could have an alcoholic beverage and a good time. Thaniwan Kulmongkhol said that the feeling of many was that they had been cooped up at home for too long. The cry from them was "Let us Out!" despite the understandable concern about catching Covid by going out. She told the Thai media that the New Year period showed a 100% return of business to restaurants. Smaller establishment owners and street food outlets also benefitted by remaining open and not going home for the holidays. But while the period of December 30th to January 2nd was good it would remain to be seen if the upsurge was sustained through to mid January. Figures to come would confirm if the people were really getting out more or if it was just a New Year thing.
