Thread: Bangkok Lifts Restrictions on Dining in Non-air conditioned Restaurants

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has lifted restrictions on dining in non-air conditioned restaurants and increased the maximum seating limit in air conditioned venues from 21 June.


According to the latest BMA order, signed by Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang, non-air conditioned restaurants may operate at 100% capacity, while air-conditioned venues are allowed to occupy up to 50% of their seating capacity for dine-in customers.


The order also allows eateries in Bangkok to open until 11pm, up from 9pm, though the ban on alcohol consumption on restaurant premises remains in place.


In addition to easing restrictions on dining out, the order allows swimming pools and other water-sports facilities to reopen, along with education centers and science parks, and public and private libraries. Sporting events without spectators are now allowed.

^The kind of easing measures you might find in a country that was winning the battle against the spread of Covid?

I'm guessing the government has just given up. Yesterday there was over 4000 new cases...a year ago this would have caused a lockdown.

Yeah, this is such a dumb move that Boris Johnson might have made it.
