Good report. I can see only one thing you did wrong --- booked the hotel VAN. Because if ANYONE on the van tested positive everyone on the van would have to do the same quarantine as them, Lucky for you, you were the lone passenger. Looking forward to part two.

Maybe high speed rail service, but then up to an hour to get to central Bangkok from Bang Sue.

Golden Cock the first gay bar I visited in Thailand decades ago. Nature Boy when I was feeling naughty. I haven't been back since the amalgamation but it is stretching my imagination to see two bars occupying the N.B. premises (seemed like half a shophouse😁). Good luck to them both.

Only outside terrace open.

And guess which restaurants would be immediately closed by the BIB? I invite you to argue your case with the local police.

It would be helpful if people who post advice on requirements for entry were those who have actually done it (enter Thailand very recently) rather than those non-travellers who are trying to interoperate government requirements.

Familial.

It's not. And no sign of life in the soi at Jupiter up till last night. I thought that opening is one week away. Maybe you're confusing it with D.J.

However, the state of emergency was renewed for another 2 months!

You need to read more closely. Thailand airports opened to incoming on 1st of November. Nothing to do with clubs, bars alcohol etc. If you want to know about the reasons Pinocchio gave for the 15th January, look around these boards or Bangkok Post or Google. One glimmer of hope is that some committees reporting to the CCSA are pushing for easing before January -- to be discussed this Friday. Look for the thrice weekly English language CCSA bulletin broadcast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

As I said above -- 'FULL food menu'.

Balcony, Pride (and soon Circus) , Connections and Sands(?) ALL operate FULL food menus -- hardly "in name only".

No discussion. Definite at today's CCSA meeting bars, clubs, karaoke, discos cannot open before the 15th of January.

Soi4 is in Silom in Bangkok.

The only 'out of context' here is with the title of the thread!

Not standard for me. Probably means the first of December 2021.

No bars or clubs are open Only places with restaurant licenses. And they are not allowed to sell alcohol (and probably still not tomorrow if they don't have an SHA license). If you want current news -- follow Richard Barrow on Facebook or Twitter.

Why do you mention 1st of November rules? They will almost certainly be superseded by the 1st of December rules.

Richard Barrow's Newsletters and bulletins are the most reliable and up to date information. (Usually posted WAY BEFORE anything appears on the Bangkok Post website!). Last week he corrected info. on a CCSA infographic. Very soon he will be coming back to Thailand (only a week or so away) and will recount his airport experiences.

Much more charitable than my description of government policy. Have a look a Richard Barrow's newsletters and posts on Facebook for the most reliable and up to date news (hours earlier than the Bangkok Post). Last week he pointed out two errors on CCSA infographics!

I have a premonition --- probably as wrong as all my previous ones -- that to save face the dictator at the end of this month, will declare restaurants will be able to serve alcohol from the 15th of November and then at the end of the month all will be open.

Please read Richard Barrow's newsletters! He is the most knowledgeable writer on the situation here. Only last week he spotted two errors on official CCSA infographics. As to 'light at the end of the tunnel' not till start of December for clubs and bars.😭

Of course 'no quarantine' actually means 'one night quarantine in a selected hotel' to await test results.
