Mr. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, the spokesperson of the Prime Minister’s Office, revealed today, June 4th, that the government and Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation (CCSA) would consider extending the legal closing hours further as requested by many entertainment operators since the legal reopening on June 1st.

Popular Post James105 Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 Even when they do finally allow bars to be open as normal they are not going to let go of their emergency powers are they? I feel sorry for the bar owners that will be operating under the continuous threat of being closed down again for whatever spurious reason the authoritarians can come up with when their puritanical sensibilities are inevitably offended by the sight of people having fun. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jonclark Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 I am delighted that this and the continual covid 19 restrictions remain. The more the people feel alienated and distanced from the government, the better the outcome and of the next general election. I am not an oracle with foresight, but I have never met so many Thai people that dislike such an incumbent government so much. (I am also are some that support it, but they seem far less inclined to voice their support amongst friends). So keep it up CCSA you are doing the right thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Branche Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Midnight closure to early, 2:00 am not good enough for some bars, clubs, businesses. Government wants Pattaya, Jomtien to be more family friendly. So going to have to deal with earlier closing times, less bars, and pounding music that restricts sleep for locals, retired people, and people who work normal hours. Businesses can Not provide minimum proof that being open between 2 am and 4 am is hurts them substantially and financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I do not think the people running this country are the sharpest pencils in the box, I don't think they are so blunt that they are unaware the police are accepting bribes to give some bars the ability to stay open until after midnight. It's a case of they know the bars are open till 2am, we know that they know the bars are open till 2am, and they know that we know that they know the bars are open till 2am, but for some strange reason they still feel that they need to pretend this is not the case. This truly is a bizarre country to reside in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
