webfact 82,721 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hua Hin: Beer bars opening today - but there are glum faces as no one is expecting any tourists There are 300 beer bars scattered over Hua Hin and they can all open today. Yesterday Montree Manichpong of the local authority along with police and health department reps met with more than 100 owners at one of the main areas for the trade - Soi Bintabaht in central Hua Hin. Many of the mostly ladies present did not look thrilled at the prospect; most accepted that the New Normal would not be accompanied by any tourists, reported 77kaoded. Those present were reminded of the 22 rules they have to follow. These include restricting numbers to an appropriate level, spacing tables 2 meters apart and serving only food and drink. No beer promotion girls are allowed and definitely no singing and dancing. Staff must wear gloves and face shields and all patrons must be screened on entry. The New Normal begins today after the government entered Phase 5 of the ease of lockdown restrictions in the country.

Maybe it´s just you that do not comprehend to well. I did never complain about deluded foreigners hanging around in bars. I complained about you using their opinions to strengthen yours. In this post here I never said I wanted them back. The only thing I posted was a reason why there were glum faces, and the result of opening something without a solid customer base. Next time, please understand what you read. 3 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post sirocco 723 Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 But this is great news for those who have been eagerly awaiting the opening of bars. May your welcome be warm, a big smile, a big hello and everything will be fine, even if it can be chilly at first. To those who know how to wait, time opens its doors. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
