I'll be giving it a miss. Exactly this. I'm seeing a lot of 'normal' nightlife back in places like Patong and Chaweng, which is encouraging. But it only takes a mood swing from the BiB and everything could be shut down indefinitely. While the government keep the anti-nightlife / anti-tourist rules in place, the chances of a decent holiday in LOS are still in the balance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid rampant, but that's OK cos its omicron, but entertainment venues have to open under mindless rules? Welcome to Thailand folks.

Popular Post thailand49 Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) There you have it " not a medical man " whatever the rules they have just gone off the rails with them no one has a clue including experts. Everyone pretending sneaking around when it comes to clubs, bars etc. No dancing in the beginning now slowing sneaking it in on stage but girls can sit on couches customer in regular seats as they use to if dancing was permitted pick a girl she comes up sits with you as if nothing had changed. Beer bars GC even more blatant I got s sandwich in one hand and my mouth over her breast it is crazy!???? at my age please one thing at a time!

Funny. Everyone is as sick of this guy as they are of the pandemic. There's no booster shots available in our Sakon Nakhon village for weeks. Our entire family caught COVID on our family vacation in Hua Hin. High fevers for two days for everyone but me. Just felt like a mild cold, cough sticks around. I'm feeling it was inevitable really. I'm glad it was mild. 3 of us fully vaccinated. 2 year old just fever for 3 days. Day 5 lively as ever! 7 year old 1 Pfeizer for children, bad fever for two days. Still weak and complaining about cleaning up after herself (same as always). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pepi2005 Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 It's politics like this - mindless regulations and red tape, decoupled from rational thinking, let alone science - why this country can't move forward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Considering the numbers of 22,387 new cases, over 2000 people in serious condition with COVID and 105 deaths, the COVID cases are not dropping. COVID cases are spiking in many places in the world, and yet because the pandemic has gone on for so long, most people are tired of restrictions in their lives. On the bright side, just how many posters on this forum could get sick with COVID and not worry about their finances. Now think of most regular people in Thailand who do not get paid if they are at home sick with COVID. Even the rich politicians like Anutin, or even Prayut can get sick with COVID. Look at the politicians in the USA, several of them are now infected. Is it really time to consider this pandemic is over? Patience is a virtue, death is forever.

Popular Post tomyami Posted April 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2022 In pattaya now most places open and busy as normal up to 12am, restrictions are being quietly ignored so no reason for entertainment normality, but there is always some support just using covid as an excuse and not medical science based at this stage their policy TIT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your question - No! The reality is that the bars have a loophole/get out and many of them quite understandably have taken advanatge of it. But the fact remains that officially bars can not sell alcohol, and is open to the whims of the local plod, and how hard up they are at any given time. Or who they "have it in for" etc. etc. As per usual the buck is being passed by those at the top, leaving the situation open to corruption AGAIN!

"he has a degree in some sort of engineering from some US university" From Wiki:- "Anutin completed secondary education at Assumption College and higher education in engineering from Hofstra University in 1989.[3]" Does "Higher Education" constitute a degree these days? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why will they come with any kind of limitations of entry, and if in fact they happen to materialise, what will they do when they get here? Visit temples and historic sites/parks where they will be charged at least double the price that locals pay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been said before many times, and the clowns in charge pay lip service to any changes, and when the tourists don't come, they will say that "double pricing" in parks etc has nothing at all to do with it! What they don't realise is that this is only one of many reasons why tourists are loth to come to a country where some of the the rules and regulations seem to be changed every day, hence the reticence of tourists who,to coin a cliche, can't make their minds up whether they will be "coming or going", so will opt for other destinations that have less hoops to jump through. The fact that the Thai Gov't are now easing these restrictions will make no difference whatsoever to the average tourist/ holiday maker who makes his/her plans months in advance to take advantage of better deals on flights, accommodation etc, and their reaction to these mixed messages is bound to be "No thanks ,we're fed up of all this uncertainty - we've already booked elsewhere - to somewhere that values our custom and will make us welcome without worrying about what changes may come about tomorrow, or the next day." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
