sdweller Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 My wife and I are attempting to jump through the hoops required so we can enter Thailand in January. After quarantine, I know we are free to travel around the country...my questions is, how many restaurants, cafes, and even temple sites are actually open now? Planning on spending our time in Bangkok and Chiang Mai for 3 months. Thanks for opinons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post timendres Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2020 Aside from a number of places that did not survive the shutdown, everything else is open, with very few exceptions. Where I live, in the OnNut area, everything is open. But a few favorite places did not survive and are gone forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Many if not not most of those are open. Some closed or shut down but easy to find many open. Probably more closures in bars and accommodations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It seems it depends a lot on the area where you go. I live in lower Sukhumvit and it's empty compared to before. Some places closed, others with few guests. Hotel buffets are not what they used to be. And the street is almost empty at night when normally it was full of taxi-no-meter. But recently I was in a local Thai floating market in Bangkok and that was a busy as it was two years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JusticeGB Posted November 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2020 Don't know anything about Bangkok or Chiengmai but in Pattaya it's dead. Half of the decent restaurants are closed some permanently. The bars are dead many hotels are shut. The ones that remain open have 10% occupancy during the week and 30% at the weekend. Phuket is suffering even worse than Pattaya. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migrosmarket Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Areas known for tourists and tourist attractions will be a big disappointment. Rural areas will be fine I think. Half of Pattaya is boarded up like it is the set of a zombie movie. You dare not eat in restaurants without customers that you don't know well as you don't know how old the uncooked food will be. Some attractions are closed or have restricted opening (eg weekends only to cater for thai tourism). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharron Merrilees Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Would someone PLEASE keep me and others updated on when we are a loud back in without having to go in to quantine first, and what is going to be needed med wise. Australia (where I am ) is going to start rolling out a vaccine in March 2021, but that could change. and a app for your phone to say that you have been tested and dated to chow customs etc. We still have now dates yet at this end when our boarders are opening for over seas travel. But am hoping soon so can book flights and accommodation etc,as I do not want to stuff around again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
