Thailand tourism situation

[barrys]

There are still restrictions in Phnom Penh - nightclubs, karaoke and bars also remain closed. The remainder of Cambodia has opened up though.

[dtaai-maai]

I've read nothing about booze bans in the US, UK, EU, AU or in any country, once restaurants and other venues were officially allowed to re-open. Has anyone?

No, and of course the closures weren't at all related to booze, just to contact.

I think there is more involved here than meets the eye. The big haired women temperance brigade is no doubt piggybacking onto the Covid bandwagon.

Alcohol has nothing to do with Covid (which is why most other countries haven't banned it), most of the infections in Thailand have come from factories, worker camps, and prisons. It is just the junta's way of keeping control, keeping the police in coin, and quelling those pesky protestors while destroying businesses and livelihoods in the process.

There were several countries that closed bars etc during lockdown. Wales, for example, banned the sale of alcohol in pubs, cafes and restaurants on their premises.

There are other countries around the world that also banned the sale of alcohol.

In the UK clubs pubs entertainment venues sports venues were all shut. The sale of alcohol was not banned.

It was in Wales (still in the UK!) for a while:

Pubs and restaurants across Wales will be banned from selling alcohol and be forced to close at 6pm every evening.

The measure announced by first minister Mark Drakeford will come into force from 6pm this Friday.

Cinemas, bowling alleys, bingo halls and other indoor entertainment venues must also shut from the same date.

I do know Wales is in the UK.
You are posting rubbish that statement was made in 2020.

[HHTel]

Thank you but it's hardly rubbish. I was answering the question:

I've read nothing about booze bans in the US, UK, EU, AU or in any country

It was certainly true in Wales at the end of last year, and it's true for several other countries.

Talking of Wales:

New measures are already being brought in to tackle Wales' high Covid rates - the worst in the UK.

Covid passes will be extended to cinemas, theatres and concert halls from 15 November as part of the plans.

Pubs, restaurants and cafes might also require passes if infections climb, amid a "wider repertoire of actions".

That was 3 days ago to save you looking it up.

Not after the lockdown which is what the discussion is about. If you are not sure look up before and after in the dictionary.

[HHTel]

Are we talking of the latest lockdown? Countries have had lockdowns more than once. Wales was locked down and then re-opened hospitality after reporting no deaths for a while. Following that they went into a further lockdown when they banned the sale of alcohol.

I don't know of any country that have banned the sale of alcohol outside of a lockdown. Why would they. Thailand are in the process of ending the lockdown. It's not fully complete yet.

[HHTel]

I've read nothing about booze bans in the US, UK, EU, AU or in any country, once restaurants and other venues were officially allowed to re-open. Has anyone?

Just for you Lindo, the above is the full question. In my answer, Wales banned the sale of alcohol in pubs and restaurants although still allowed to open.

Lockdowns have occurred more than once in many countries, and at different times. Look at Thailand through most of 2020 whilst other countries were suffering badly and instigating lockdowns. Different countries have had different experiences of Covid.
Of course I understand the words before and after. I don't see any mention of 'before' or 'after' a lockdown. Just a reference to restaurants being allowed to open.

I'll not say any more about it as your take on the subject is different to mine.

I suggest you READ it properly the phrase ALLOWED TO REOPEN, the articled you referred to was before the main lockdown in 2020 the discussion refers to this year 2021. Just for you once again look up before and after you obviously are confused.

[HHTel]

Your knowledge of the calendar is obviously suspect. What is your definition of a 'lockdown'. It originally referred to prisons. There have been several redefined definitions during Covid. There are varying degrees of lockdown. Here explained are the restrictions/lockdowns in the UK:

Anyway, this 'argument' is quite pointless. From a question that vaguely assumed that Thailand was the only country focusing on alcohol and the resultant answer showing that other countries also had problems with the sale of alcohol, you have made this into a nonsensical argument between yourself and I.

Sleep tight.

Show me where

Why are you bringing up lockdown? we all what it refers to.

I am not arguing, I am point out errors, which you continue to side step.

A sensible reply with facts would be good.
