ukrules Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 5 hours ago, webfact said: Foreigners with work permits, residency and families in Thailand will also be able to enter the country, but will be subject to a 14-day quarantine. Worth noting that 'residency' isn't the same thing as 'permanent residency' - some clarification is required here..... In the governments own words, foreigners who spend more than 180 days per year in Thailand are 'resident'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, my wife and her sister got sweet f. a. Add to that about 150 others in the village. Be interesting to see how many people know someone who received it. your WIFE wants a free handout? what is WRONG with you people, that money is meant for real poor people or people who cannot work due to the lockdown and dont have nobody who financially supports them. I APPLAUD the person responsible who decided not to send emergency money to the wife of a Farang....very fair. Anyway, as other posters pointed out, its not a scam, many Thai people already did get it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the government has good ideas... sometimes ridiculous ideas. Is Covid scared of the dark? Same rules apply in most European countries where the bars reopened, so maybe you could direct your question to your government? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRoadrunner Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 10 hours ago, webfact said: These night venues are required to ensure customers are seated at least a metre apart, with tables separated by a two-metre space and 1.5-metre-high partitions. Patrons are not allowed to share tables with strangers while servers must wear masks at all times. Furthermore, frequently touched areas, including toilets, must be cleaned regularly, smoking areas clearly marked and the venues properly ventilated. Some bars are open already. Most not taking much notice of these rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are unenforceable, especially in an area with lots of drunk people. It won't be a problem. They will look to be making an effort for a fews days before every bar drops the charade.

bristolgeoff Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 i know a few bars open in cnx now but that is to do with restaurant food and those rules.come july all the other bars are hoping to open asap.they are having a hard time like everyone else. now they extend to july 31 so i think no one is leaving anytime soon or they let anyone in yet.i think the end of the year is when most of this will be over for travel and getting back there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been living here for very long and the only people I saw hanging around at bars were those that were not able to find any other sources of entertainment. Poor people in my eyes.

Lee4Life Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Who came up with these ideas? I have to keep 2 meters away from everyone when I go out shopping, but I can go get a massage by the same person who has just touched how many other people? And why check the masseuse frequently? They could get tested in the morning and then give someone carrying the virus a massage and have spread it to how many people by the afternoon? And as far as bars go, what do people do in bars? Do not a fair amount of the customers get intoxicated at least to some degree? Lets see you how that goes, getting people under the influence of alcohol to obey a bunch of rules like social distancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked them (via the internet) and they answered that they either close the bars completely or they open them with restrictions on numbers of course (which makes sense). None referred to closing times. Why would they.... if the bar is open from 6-12 it has as much chance to spread the virus as if it were open from 8pm-2am... Its common sense isnt it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the same in every country, don't even know which your country is, but it is a rule in my country https://euobserver.com/coronavirus/148550 Bars, cafés and restaurants will reopen on 8 June on three conditions: tables should have a distance between each other of 1.5 metres, groups of maximum 10 people can sit together and they will be served at the table. The closing hour for these bars, cafés and restaurants as well as night shops will be 1AM. Similar restrictions in Spain https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/1285373/benidorm-spain-holidays-bars-pubs-opening-hours-extension He said pubs, bars and restaurants had been making plans to use their interiors rather than just the terraces so he would now waiver the earlier closing time rule of 11pm to 1am instead. In the UK they obviously didn't have to put those restrictionsm because pubs always have to close at 11pm, covid or no covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesnt make much sense to limit the closing time. Once people are mingling the odds of spreading the virus seem the same whether its 12 midnight or 1am or 2am but perhaps research indicates people have riskier behavior at later hours (?)... unclear I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
