Bars and pubs in Bangkok to remain closed but it's good news for pub goers in the rest of Thailand

 

 

It is bad news for pub goers in Bangkok with Thailand's Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Friday that bars and pubs in the capital will remain closed.

 

However, in most other provinces bars and pubs have been given the green light to open, in some  cases without restrictions and in others, with closing required at 11pm.

 

According to CCSA spokesperson Dr. Taweesilp Visanuyothin, Samut Sakhon will remain under highest level of restrictions (dark red zone).  Bangkok will also remain a Maximum Controlled zone (red zone)

 

And while some businesses can reopen, bars, pubs and other nighttime entertainment venues in Bangkok must remain closed. Restaurants are permitted open but must close by 11pm and no alcohol can be served. Massage parlours, gyms and fitness centres are allowed to re-open with social  distancing measures in place.

The 10 provinces in the Controlled Zone (orange zone), restaurants, bars and pubs can re-open and serve alcohol but only until 11pm. Live music  can be played but dancing is not permitted.

 

For the 17 provinces in the Maximum Surveillance Zone (yellow zone), restaurants, bars and pubs can re-open and serve alcohol until midnight.

 

For the remaining 35 provinces (green zone) almost all restrictions have been lifted.

 

The relaxing of all measures is expected to come into effect on 1st Feb, but may differ slightly from province to province.
