There was a homeware shop not far from me in London that suddenly starting selling baguettes as well when only food shops were allowed to be open during a UK lockdown. Now that the lockdown has gone so have the baguettes.
Rules everywhere are made to be circumvented by those with imagination. Not saying it’s right but an entrepreneurial spirit will usually find a way.
If a lot of other bars and entertainment venues pick up on DJ Station's idea and start doing the same thing, for some strange reason I don't see Thailand's powers-that-be letting them get away with it very long.Originally Posted by Brad the Impala
Also, it's kind of hard to circumvent a 9:00pm mandatory closing time.
The solution is so simple - let the bars and entertainment venues reopen normally without imposing all these silly rules. If another outbreak occurs and can be attributed to that, then close them. Thailand is not usually proactive, but if they're going to be proactive, at least do it in a way that makes some sense.
I knew somebody would try that one.
That's exactly what they'd do back in Kansas, but like I've told you before, this isn't Kansas.
If no silly rules were applied - there would be no grounds for eliciting "tea money". Haven't you figured that out yet?
I hate sounding so crass about this, but for Christs sake, how many times do people have to keep teling you this before you finally catch on???
Entertainment venues are broke and will do whatever they can to survive. If flipping a few burgers can be leveraged to opening an entertainment venue, then so be it. They're probably already paying the local BIB for the privilege...perfectly legal or not.

I took some extra pictures and I will share them tomorrow. It was busy in Soi 2 but I'll tell you more about that too.
