Ridiculous, the Government have no idea how much these restrictions affect businesses.

They don't give a fig about how people will get through this.

Chicken Little has emerged once again. Panic and more confusion will follow in short order. The brain trust has spoken. Who is that man behind the curtain pulling those levers.

Easy answer guy's pay the Tea Money and you won't be bothered.

[Pete424]

Let me get this straight....

Drinking at parties and bars increased the Covid infections.....

Still allow tourist areas to drink.....Where was those parties?.....Tourist areas? Including Chon Buri, talk about confusing.....

Quick do something to stop Covid, I don't care if it won't work, just do something..........

Interesting to see the blue and orange graphic, where one of the original test-and-go zones, the Surat Thani province (Gulf) islands (Samui, Phangnan, Tao) seems to be excluded. Heard today that restaurants there can serve alcohol until 9PM.

Not sure if the graphic is constrained by province-wide restrictions: I'd expect the Surat province, as a whole to be orange, but the Gulf islands to be blue.
