Seems like in Pattaya anyway, gogo bars have been given permission to re-open before Songkran.  The good times are returning (hopefully).

 

What you have been waiting for! The Dollhouse and Club Electric Blue (now upstairs at The Dollhouse) reopens Tuesday the 1st March from 6 pm till 11 pm, Now you have two great clubs in the same building, hope to see you there.

Don’t rely on a single study. 

I don't. That's why I said I am looking for others. There is another from UNC dated January this year but I didn't quote it because it lacks detail. At least I haven't found a denial of the quoted article...yet and it will be interesting to see whether other medical institutions agree or not. At least I'm interested enough to keeping looking.

people will be able to celebrate the traditional Thai New Year’s Day in a way as close to normal as possible.

 

He said, however, that it is not possible for the celebration to be totally normal, noting that social gatherings, parties and other high-risk activities will still be prohibited, but inter-provincial travel will not.

No travel restrictions during Songkran this year ????

They'll still pile on restrictions.  The elite can not help themselves.  The serf-class can't be allowed unrestrained pleasure.  Only the wealthy may enjoy life; plebs are meant to suffer and serve.

Might as well.

 

The virus is entrenched here.

 

I don't think they'll be any hospital beds left for the annual onslaught of car crash, motorcycle wipeouts,and drunken injuries that will arise.

 

I'm staying close to home.

Don't be STUPID (again)! CANCEL SONGKRAN! Stay home! Sheesh!

 

The ONLY thing keeping us safe is our own responsible behaviour...

Covid vaccines have saved countless lives in the last year.

He was talking about Omicron spreading faster than vaccination campaigns.

 

Only a moron would be happy about a virus that is killing thousands every day. The only reason that Omicron isn’t killing more is because so many are vaccinated.

Absolutely. I mean the ones that most Thai people have.

No he was talking about it spreading through mostly unvaccinated countries in Africa. Obviously no one would be happy about a deadly virus. Thats an odd thing to say. I am glad the virus is getting less deadly over time. I am sure everyone would be happy with that.
