Pattaya — Pattaya business operators are ready to reopen after the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) recently announced the official reopening of nightlife businesses in what the government calls the green and blue zones, starting on June 1st.

 

Nightlife has been legally closed nationwide since April of 2021 in Thailand due to Covid19 rules. In December of 2021 venues were allowed to convert to “restaurants” but this required additional rules, guidelines, and measures. These had been loosening over time, however, notes TPN and the official reopening at this point is largely a formality, but one business operators had been pushing for as it resolved the current grey areas that bars are operating as.

Today, May 20th, the CCSA has recently announced the official reopening of nightlife businesses such as pubs, bars, massage parlors, and other entertainment venues located in the green and blue zones on June 1st. These “zones” are mostly those geared towards tourism like Phuket, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai.

Mr. Wasan Sanguangkham, an entertainment business operator in Pattaya, told The Pattaya News today that entertainment businesses in Pattaya have been ready to accept customers for two years in his opinion and were grateful for the reopening on June 1st.

Shame that the opening times haven't been allowed to go back to the early hours, as before.

 

And the Muppets have extended the emergency decree, as expected. It's clear they have no idea what constitutes an emergency.

But no booze this weekend as Thais are not allowed to drink and vote.  Drink & Drive is OK though.

Drink and drive is mandatory it seems, otherwise one can't explain why so many drivers are loosing their lives on Thai roads...

It's a too convenient moneymaker for the boys in brown. Otherwise, why can't all bars just set their own opening hours? (even before covid).

No doubt the boys in brown will be rubbing their hands in anticipation of those monthly brown paper bags.

Apparently soapy massages can re-open. Good news for the many Indians who are coming back in increasing numbers.

And good news for those in their proximity!

Hordes of dog-loving, early-nighters are queuing for their holiday insurance as we write.
