Thailand Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Be able to concentrate on the burning now that side of things has been sorted out. Warm up cafe seems to be a perfect Covid breeder yet again,or simply the clientele? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls at warm up seem to get around a fair bit. It's a wannabe hiso pickup place. Still, bad news for Songkran, surprised they haven't just cancelled the event. People travelling all over the country (by bus) isn't the wisest move at this point in time. Edited April 9, 2021 by BritManToo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least until the ptb have had their Songkran holidays!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugocnx Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Jeez, it never ends does it. Typically the ban on alcohol is something to monitor. People drink alcohol and have fun and round goes the gossip about Covid conspiracies et all. People get a little fresh and might get upset about the restrictions and express they want freedom. OMG, freedom?? that is not the way we elite want it directed; we want slaves. Closing entertainment venues is a sign of restriction of freedom. Get informed, do your own research.

brommers Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Get ready for a much longer close down. A friend who runs a bar in CM expects closure until at least the end of April and perhaps restrictions on the general sale of alcohol like this time last year. The figure of 186 new cases for Friday is worse than the fugure for the whole of April last year so the powers that be will feel impelled to look strong. But the situation is already out of control and the lax vaccination programme has left Thailand at the mercy of a fast mutating virus & with no defences available to the general population. It's going to be a bumpy ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a certain sub-class of Thai elites whom I'm sure would like to implement permanent Prohibition. This "emergency" simply gives them the excuse to exercise their power to impose "morality" on the masses. And whats the difference between getting a massage and getting a beauty treatment and an hair-dew. Both a hair dresser and a masseuse are in equally close proximity to their clients. It beggars belief. The elite don't want the commoners to feel good. If it makes you feel good, they will ban it whenever and however they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
