Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - Nightclubs, bars, and other nightlife entertainment venues have been warned to strictly adhere to Covid-19 prevention measures as they prepare to reopen for business next month. The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has approved the reopening of nightlife entertainment venues in 31 provinces beginning on June 1, 2022. These venues include pubs, bars, karaoke bars, massage parlors, and other nightlife establishments. However, these business operators must strictly follow the Public Health Ministry’s Covid-free setting measures and close at midnight. They are also asked not to hold promotional events in order to avoid overcrowding which could turn these venues into new Covid-19 infection clusters. Keep up to date with all things Thailand - Join our daily ASEAN NOW Thailand Newsletter - Click to subscribe Dr. Apisamai Srirangsan, the assistant spokesperson for the CCSA, reiterated that only nightlife outlets in 31 provinces, which consisted of 14 green and 17 blue zone designated provinces, will be allowed to reopen for business. The reopening of these venues for the 46 provinces designated as yellow zones is still under consideration since the number of infection cases remains high in some provinces. The spokesperson added that some nightlife venues have already reopened without authorization. Authorities will issue warnings to these violators and will temporarily close their businesses if infections are found in their venues. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-05-27 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post joecoolfrog Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 Utter nonsense , simply a futile exercise in attempting to keep control of the populace , If Europe can reopen fully , without dire consequencies , there is no logical reason why Thailand cannot follow suit. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted May 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2022 I had to look to see if the date of this article was from sometime during the Delta Phase, or else April 1, 2022. When is a re-opening not a re-opening? I guess when it's just a re-defining. Agogos, open now for months under the 'restaurant scheme', never served a single crumb of food. Neither will any suddenly serve more alcohol than at present, just because they again may call themselves a 'bar'. There are zero 'prevention measures' in force. It's already "deja vu all over again"....as in 2019: unmasked folks can sit as close as physics allows. Unless my mobile clock is wrong, or Bangkok joined a new time zone, I think agogos are already serving for hours past the official 12 midnight closing. Several have already proven (in double un-blind clinical trials subject to constant perv review) that despite suggestions to the contrary, bikinis do not cause Covid. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself, as little is left to the imagination. One wonders for whom these announcements are made, since they have absolutely no connection to the current reality. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomacht8 Posted May 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2022 "However, these business operators must .... close at midnight." But that's not "night life". These are regulations for kindergartens and not for adults. As if a busy bar at 2am posed a higher risk than the same bar at 10pm. What puritanical nonsense. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. This only works with bribes to the BIB. Ultimately, longer opening hours are not legal and bar owners risk their license. Such unworldly closing times only open the doors to blackmail, although the population wants to be able to celebrate unhindered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybangkok Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) What absolute drivel. I was out last night. Started in Soi 4 with a few bars before heading to a particularly well know venue on Soi 11. Arrived at about 11 to find a rammed venue with no social distancing, no masks and people literally elbow to elbow. If they were supposed to be 'strictly adhering to Covid-19 prevention measures' then I guess the message got lost in translation as there was zero covid measures in place.

No more drinks out of coffee mugs. Nonsense, since when has that been happening. Pattaya bars and gogo's have been fully open for at least 6 weeks with full drinking from bottles and glasses. Drinking from a coffee mug was at least 6 months ago. There is even topless dancing now in some gogo's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there has been no need to drink out of coffee mugs in 2022, so you must be referring to last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 How about we warn the government to ease up, and drop all restrictions, otherwise tourism will be destroyed forever. And how about we also warn them of the need for recreation, and the consequences of a society without it. And lastly, how about if we warn them to stop threatening us constantly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
