ORIGINAL POSTERIs this right? Meanwhile, all entertainment venues like bars, nightclubs, karaoke lounges, etc. will remain closed nationally until at least January 15th, 2022. The CCSA meeting would consider the possibility of the business reopening again for January 16th,
TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, all entertainment venues in Thailand, including bars and nightclubs, are set to remain closed nationally until at least January 15, 2022. The CCSA is scheduled to meet to discuss the possibility of reopening these venues on January 16, but there is speculation about the actual likelihood of this happening, with some comments expressing doubts about the reopening timeline.

Shouldn't they be meeting like on 14th or 13th January to discuss this. This is more of a Thug life as it comes🤣

Phuket was bars open until 11pm when I was there a few weeks ago. Mind you, many were still closed, but there was a lot of work going on.

I understand even if I do get covid being double vaccinated it would be mild and also make me almost immune to the 19 in the future. Lye **********
Vaccination is our best bet for safety against covid for now. When will it ever be safe from covid? The virus is in the air and it does not have expiry date. It will probably outlive us. This is the new norm.
Btw, living under the rocks doesn't necessarily protect you from the virus either. 😆

If the Thai govt don't care and allow you people to party, daily cases would have rise at least 3 times... nightspot is a very high transmission place

At least the disco is built through space whereas our restaurabars are now instead overfull over the capacity of air con....

@Ronald ****
better stay closed for another year , even though most now will be vaccinated and under 40s don't die anyway ..... Correction maybe 1 in every 300 thousand. Line up in the street waiting on the free food van and sleeping in vacated bars and doorways. Take it your eating and sleeping well Ron. The deadly virus that kills 0.002 per cent will take the motorbike deaths onto insignificant figures. It's the biggest con mankind has had to swallow. Thailand needs to wake up.Jo **********
@Ronald ****
there is massive difference between going to a country bar with a few people outside and a crowded indoor disco. Jared **********
@Ronald ****
I think the reason so many people fight that drinking leads to sloppy Covid measures and poor decisions is that most of those people make poor decisions even when they’re not drinking. Martin **********

right, like taking part on a global experiment with an unproven drug which starts to turn out to be useless with heavy side effects.Paul *******

Most of these will rebrand as "restaurants", already happening everywhere.

Restaubars! (Hotel/hospitel...)

@Greg *******
haha yes, definitely a good idea to have a clear mind on the Monday morning 😎Greg ********
@Maxim **********
You cannot just rebrand everywhere. What is open in Pattaya right now for example?Darren *******
@Nigel *******
did they reopen after they pulled the shutters down or stay closed? I went off elsewhere when the police returned a few minutes after walking off.Nigel ********
@Darren ******
, but it's not always the police. Many recent so called raids in Soi 4 have been SHA checks Darren *******
@Nigel *******
I haven't been down soi 4 in a while, not much open down there? Just the Hillary 2 bar? I hear there's been a bit of internal police politics going on tooBobby ********
Darren Grist. Stumble Inn and the bar next to it (Morning Night?) were both pumping the other night. I meant to go further down Soi 4 but I loaded up on the 99 baht pints at Stumble Inn, so by the time I was ready to recommence my sojourn, I was stumbling out!

, quite a few places open in soi 4Reply to

But even then, alcohol sales are only allowed in restaurants in a few provinces, and only until 9pm.
Darren *******
@Brandon ***********
depends on how big a brown envelope you hand over...Greg ********
@Darren ******
That might be the meme. Nobody of any size is open in Pattaya for example. Some places can afford pretty big envelops but cannot openBrandon ************
@Darren ******
I would've spent a lot of time being paranoid of getting arrested if I drank illicitly, especially in Pattaya where they keep doing big busts. Darren *******
@Brandon ***********
the police were down Sukhumvit soi 7 last night and closed the place at 9, none of those bars sell food. Seemed a bit more serious a 'raid' than usual. Last weekend the bar I was in closed at midnight, they get notice from police as to what they can and can't do so often close with 5 minute warning etcGreg ********
@Darren ******
But there was plenty of warning last night. :-)Nigel ********
@Darren ******
..... sounds like we were in the same barsBenjamin ******
@Darren ******
which Soi 7? Is this in Bangkok?Darren *******
@Benjamin *****
yep BKK, Sukhumvit soi 7Greg ********
@Darren ******
Closed early last 2 nights. I was there. And those places are small fryDarren *******
@Greg *******
they are small fry for sure, I'm usually down soi 13 which has been heaving last few weekends...but the bars there can afford the brown envelopesGreg ********
@Darren ******
I am there too in Soi 13 :-)Darren *******
@Greg *******
haha, I'll have to get you a beer next time I'm down there 🍻Greg ********
@Darren ******
Same to you. I usually have a Fred Perry or Brooks Brother Polo on when out casually. We nearly always start in Red Lion and sit against the wall. I have a Durham accentDarren *******
@Greg *******
I'll keep an eye out next time I'm down there, most likely tomorrow nightGreg ********
@Darren ******
I might be in later but avoid Sundays now. Cannot manage school nightsDarren *******
@Greg *******
haha, it's not my choice but the van we book for cricket picks us up and drops us off down soi 13, so it would be rude not to have a pint afterwards 🤣Greg ********
@Darren ******
I just got a promotion at work and my role has expanded. I need to be a very good boy for while -:)Bobby ********
Darren Grist. You mean the blackboard outside some of the bars - oops, I mean restaurants - that say "food available" aren't true? Or is it a different type of "food"? As we used to say in Aus "There's a steak in every pint"
Darren *******
@Bobby *******
I think crabs are available in those barsReply to
