Popular Post webfact Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Thailand's authorities were out in force last night as bars and clubs were officially allowed to open and serve alcohol up to midnight. But they were determined to make sure that Covid-19 cases remained low and that everyone was following the rules. Visiting the clubs in Soi Ekamai (Sukhumvit 63) in Bangkok were the MopH's rep Dr Kiatphoom Wongjarit and the BMA's Khajit Chachawanich. Dr Kiatphoom told Siam Rath that he was stil concerned about the possible spread of Covid-19 and stated that lots of places were still not following the latest rules to the letter.

But he was trying not to be too heavy handed saying that businesses must be supported as the nightlife industry continued on the path to full reopening. But he cautioned that establishments not complying with the regulations would be warned and closed if there were large numbers of cases. He said that information centers were in place to advise businesses about the serving of alcohol, not sharing glasses and the 12 pm closure order. He promised more checks on an ongoing basis. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-02 - 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 ThailandRyan Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 They better look at what occurred in Pattaya this past weekend with the Creamfields EM music festival. The crowds could not be contained and kept in their seats, turned into an all out Rave with the VIP section chugging down the free Chang and then passing them onwards to others.....Party time can not be controlled. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 Bars and restaurants are concerned about the mental health of health officials, who seem obsessed with ruining their livelihoods, over highly subjective covid related restrictions, even though the numbers are dropping significantly. When will the government sponsored terror stop? 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess well over 90% have bought the narrative, hook, line and sinker. Without questioning any of it. It is an astonishing thing to witness. Why wouldn't we question the government, the FDA, the CDC, the WHO and Big Pharma? Are they somehow noble and truthful, all of a sudden?

Enough scaremongering, move on after you've had a drink, oh that's right you probably don't drink or have a life. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please continue, tell us all that its symptoms wasn't more than a head cold, that's what we all had, and all the people that I know, same same, the worst part about it was the headaches that would come and go, nothing that Paracetamol couldn't handle, and of course the eyes being a little sensitive to light. The above said, if I was employed, I could have worked easily as I have had far worse than this "mild flu", so it's going to be around for decades, let it rip I say and let go of the scaremongering ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
