Officially. Of the places that are going reopen I’m sure 99% have become “restaurants” with the license that caused a few thousand baht. Literally rather than helping the government made them pay more money just to reopen.

2 price businesses won't get a satang off me.  I don't use taxis and always get the rail link from Suvarnabhumi.

Lol comments like this always make me chuckle but typical of expat forums - so for the sake of a few baht you are at the mercy of a train timetable, surrounded by people you don’t know, carrying whatever - rather than a private cab getting you from A-B for a tiny fraction of what you would pay at home. 

The women must love you right ?
