orang37 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Gyms were mentioned in the list of businesses to be opened in one of the recent government statements printed in Thai English language media. However, your specific gym ? Your specific province ? Who knows ? I use the fitness center in the Centara/Duangtawan Hotel; I assume that it will stay closed until the hotel re-opens.

cardinalblue Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Shocked to see a gym would be on initial opening list... if you wanted to spread a virus, design it like a gym... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbi1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Are they going to open up condo gyms and pools? Seems very stupid in the 1st place to have closed these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to salt water filtration systems, they are not directly chlorinated but the salt NACL is used in a chemical reaction to produce chlorine.

tonray Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Letseng said: Not necessarily. Clearly there is no evidence either way. I used to work in a lab under microvoid hoods with UV lighting to keep a sterile field. If you didn't set up the shielding correctly you'd sunburn your eyelids.. So I'm gonna guess that'll kill viruses too. Edited May 2, 2020 by tonray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point in worrying about what is in the water when you breathe smoke and particles that are at least 5 times levels that are considered harmful? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandr Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Gyms are included in the list of businesses allowed to reopen in Bangkok from today (Sunday). That's according to a report today in the Bangkok Post. Hopefully authorities in Chiang Mai will take their cue from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
