It seems that Juristic Persons (management companies) just closed the pools as they did last time. My condo closed the gym only and I've been able to enjoy the rooftop pool everyday. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the Covid epicentre in Samut Sakhon right on their doorstep too. Madness. Because only those in government know what they are doing! 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massage shops and spas – but not massage parlours. Lost in The Nation’s poor translation. Very clear in the Thai that it is only soapy massage places that have to remain closed. But why the risk is higher there than in oilies has not been explained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradmeister Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Would that be defined in the Government Gazette? I think we could all enjoy the difference between shop, spa, and parlor In accordance with The Governments regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if you can have a drink with your meal in a restaurant yet or is that just Chiang Mai?

sambum Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) "13 businesses can reopen as usual in Bangkok" I thought, "That's not very many, but there lo and behold in the "smaller print" (First line of the post:- "Thirteen types of business are allowed to reopen in Bangkok on Friday as the Covid-19 outbreak in the capital eased."

andycule5000 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 On the other hand, Pattaya with zero infections remains closed. We are just not smart enough to follow the logic behind the paranoia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated previously, it all depends in which Province you live, and the whims of the Governor. Surat Thani is now in a "Green Zone" (No recorded infections for 14 days) but the ban on consumption of alcohol continues. As a previous poster says, it defies all logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I posted this on Wednesday........ I might of missed my vocation..... tea leaf reader ! Looking at the way these figures are doing somersaults in TAT fashion i would predict that miraculously this virus vanishes at just about the same time that the people running show realize that the ship's just about to sink with all hands. The next and life saving move for the country will be to fling the doors open wide and get all those people back that immigration drove out over the last few years, after all, if there's no tourists there's no money, and if there's no money........ Then there's no honey...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
