Of course it go ahead the drinking hotels and ladies all want it.chance  to earn money including the police. The 7 days of hell in pattaya or thailand will I imagine be the same numbers before the covid issues.A chance to get some money back for everyone  after covid.

Probably lots of pushback from everywhere.  Bad decision to cancel in the first place so close to the event.  Very poor judgment.   Hope they learned a lesson.

Seriously?

 

 

In fairness this is a 'good' U-turn, which had to be sanctioned at THE highest level given the underlying circumstances.

 

Not a great original decision but full credit from me for changing

Have they got the the approval of the highest authority?

Thailand the land of U-turns.

Versus England, the land of "Roundabouts".  That'll be a good game.

Just finished watching it from my balcony. It was the longest NYE display I've seen here - 15 minutes vs the usual 10 minutes.
