TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring whether bars and restaurants in Phuket will be open by late September, as they are 72 years old and looking for a quiet experience. The responses highlight uncertainty about future openings, suggest that bars might only operate if serving food, and indicate that the situation can change rapidly due to COVID-19. Some comments focus on the concept of a 'quiet time' versus the expectation of bars being open, demonstrating the mixed expectations of nightlife and tranquility in Thailand.

Base on current trend of COVID and political situation in Thailand!!!

Nothing will be back to pre-COVID-19 by September

Nothing to do with this post but why can't we get translation from Thai to English in friends comments. ???

Copy and paste what you want to Google Translate. Also, you can use Google Lens phone app camera to translate from Thai to English.

FB mistakenly translated something dissrespectful about the Thai Royal Family and they've been forced to remove Thai translation. Same with IG.

Phuket is a big island. You will have no problem finding peace and quiet, regardless of whether the bars are open or not.

Do you mean .. quite a time?

I walked down to the psychic sitting outside my condo. She looked at her cards and said that the bars will be open in September. She guaranteed it. She also said if I buy her lucky medallion for 20,000 I will win the lottery this month. The lottery could make me a millionaire so, of course, I bought the necklace. Now all I have to do is wait and I will be rich soon. Rich enough to go to a country where the bars are open in September.

@Steve ******
555 and do you buy the medallion ?

Everyone here thinks phuket is a wild ride. It can be if you want it to be. It can also be chill.
Ciarán *******
Best place for quiet is Sam Roi Yod mate. 40 mins South of hua hin
Richard ********
@Ciarán ******
many nice quiet places everywhere in Thailand

It amazes me how rude expats can be. The man asked a question. If you don’t have an answer keep scrolling or put your phone down. You moved all that way only to be a dick to other people. 🤦‍♂️

I just love the mature and positive replies to Chris Beitsch post , if you cannot help him please feel free to scroll on and find a post suitable for "I want to be a comedian"

@Oor *******
Things change almost by the day, anybodys guess about September, asking the question shows no grasp of the world situation.
Bob ********
@Oor *******
But Oor, don't you see...some people cannot resist an opportunity to show others how "witty" they think they are...it doesn't matter even if it's at the express of others....
Ken ***********
@Oor *******
the first answer was the most correct. The rest are just having fun during lockdown. You are not the FB police. Perhaps take your own advice and only post information and not criticize other posts.
Richard *****
@Oor *******
its a very stupid question ffs

@Richard ****

Ha you want quite you got it good luck 🍀

If you want a quiet time you can have one wether the bars open or not ?????
Reiner *********
But how you can leave Australia ... travel outside is only possible in some reasons
Bobby ********
Reiner Buechel. If you have a solid reason and ties, and are going for a little while it's possible. If you put the reason "having quite a time in bars and restaurants" you might just be rejected! 🤣
Reiner *********
@Bo***
well as I have read and hear from Aussies medical,family and funeral are the only reasons you can leave, But as he already informed he is coming to see his partner ...
Bobby ********
Reiner Buechel. In Australia a "partner" is recognised as a spouse. There is also the "ordinarily resident in another country" provision.
Tony *********
@Reiner ********
it's not as hard as people say

I just said I'm going to see partner in Thailand. Signed a stat dec to state I was going for 3+months
Danny *******
@Reiner ********
Maybe "quite a time" is a reason?
Reiner *********
Depending on witch part yes bars are open if they serve food for example the Major of Rawai told all Bar owners ... it looks like Patong will take over this procedure... but never the less till September is a long way to go
Christophe ********
you don't have bars in your country ?
Allen **************
Maybe?
Danny *******
@Susann **********
Quiet time and bars is an oxymoron. 🙂
Patrick ************
@Danny ******
Danny you ably part of the oxymoron!

I do like a beer or two but I don't want a riot of a time. A quiet beer or two I normally live in Siem Reap Cambodia and am retired.
Danny *******
Maybe a wrong assumption by me. Maybe he means "quite a time". 😆
Stuart *********
No one knows what will be open next week, let alone by September. Currently bars are shut but restaurants are open.
