From Wednesday, entertainment venues such as pubs, bars and nightclubs will reopen in 31 provinces, including Bangkok, with their hours of operation and the serving of alcoholic beverages extended until midnight. The latest relaxation of public health measures takes effect as the Covid-19 situation has steadily improved. On Tuesday, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) issued guidelines for nightspots in the capital in response to the reopening. The guidelines stipulate that only venues certified with the Thai Stop Covid 2 Plus certification by the Public Health Ministry and granted permission from local district offices will be permitted to resume operation under a Covid free-setting. The sale of alcoholic drinks is allowed until midnight. Crowded events on the premises remain prohibited. Venue owners must ensure all staff have received Covid-19 booster shots and that they wear face masks at all times on the premises and while serving customers. All staff must regularly undergo antigen tests and self-assessment via the Thai Save Thai app developed by the Health Department. In addition, venue owners must carry out the screening of customers for public health safety. Customers must have received a booster shot and strictly comply with universal prevention measures.
