webfact Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Alcohol may be served until 11pm at events in Bangkok from Tuesday The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has announced the further easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Meetings, conferences and events can now be held in hotels, convention and exhibition centres and shopping malls until 11pm, with alcoholic drinks allowed. Alcohol may be consumed at the event up to 11pm, but only in venues which meet the “SHA PLUS” or the “Thai Stop COVID 2 Plus” standards. This BMA’s latest announcement, effective today (Tuesday), is the 51st for the capital’s COVID-19 measures. According to the 44th announcement issued on October 15th, 2021, such venues were allowed to open only until 10 pm with a ban on alcohol consumption imposed. The latest announcement is part of a gradual move to ease restrictions on businesses, with the previous one issued on January 22nd allowing eateries to serve alcohol until 11pm.

I wonder if the incredibly wealthy owners of these hotels, exhibition centres and shopping malls are also friendly with leading figures in the power stealing 'government'? Meanwhile, small business owners can go swivel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 And the wisdom behind it would be what? that after 11 pm you'll catch Covid? i'd like to make a study of the brains of those who are coming with such ideas... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
