 The new cases of the Coronavirus in Thailand have continued to drop over the last two months. Currently the new cases are at about 60% of the mid-August daily high of 23,418. The Thai government has been monitoring the virus Province by Province, and is now easing up on several categories of restrictions. As in the past, these restrictions fall into two categories - those internal restrictions that affect the citizenry, and those restrictions that affect those wanting to travel into and out of Thailand. Lets examine those restrictions that affect the citizenry first....
The partially obscured "Cowboy" sign arches over the entrance to the darkened Entertainment Area within.
As can be seen in detail below, the backing-off of a number of restrictions now allows us to stay up an hour later, dine and shop for another hour, get more exercise and more massages. While good for the general morale, it does very little for the economy. Hotels and Night Entertainment are no better off than they were the previous month. -And while we are at this point in the discussion, we note that the Government has never failed to rush to reopen tattoo parlors. Yes, tattoo parlors are now reopened... A resident of The Kingdom for decades, I had not noticed that tattoo parlors were an essential service, and that their closure had caused such hardship. Perhaps on hearing this, the millions of travellers from abroad will be clamoring to get on aircraft and fly to Thailand as soon as they can, and rush into a 10-day quarantine so they can hurry out to get tattoos...
Next is the recent easing of restrictions on international travel. The extent of easing has consisted of shortening of quarantine periods for some classes foreigners entering the country by four days. What the Government has NOT addressed fills volumes. It is obvious the Government has no 'end-game' in mind - no serious plan (other than the internal expanding of areas to which tourists can travel). No concept of a functioning "New Normal" that would facilitate, for example, the 39.8 million tourists that arrived in Thailand in 2019. As it stands now, if Thailand wants to be in a position to receive the 2019 number of tourists, Thai Consulates abroad would have to issue 39.8 million Certificates of Entry (COE), and Immigration would have to process them on arrival, and create permanent records. There would also be a requirement for each of these tourists to receive two swab tests, - 78.6 million swabs, total - and staffs of thousands at the airports and border crossings to administer and process the swabs - and medical facilities to handle those who either tested 'positive' or 'undetermined'. Next, all 39.8 million tourists would have to download "The App" (too bad if they don't have smartphones). They would have to report daily, so they can continue to be 'tracked'. Immigration will need to 'staff up' for this one also - it will make the TM-30 Immigration disaster of 2 years ago look like a walk in the park. There would currently not be sufficient quarantine hotels - but more than that, virtually every hotel would have to become a quarantine hotel. To add insult to injury, each of those 39.8 million tourists would have to have 2 insurance policies - one of them being "Covid Insurance". That's a total of 78.6 million insurance policies per year that have to be verified at the airport by Immigration in addition to all else they now have to do. To say the same thing another way, the more tourists the Government intends to bring in under the current guidelines, the more impossible, the more unmanageable the problem becomes.
What is needed are just a couple of cool heads in influential positions who are capable of executing an effective plan to kick-start the economy's tourism sector. We start with what we want to end up with, and work backwards - a program which produces an annual rate of 39.8 million tourists - commencing sometime in, say, 2022. We then determine how we can effect that rate of tourism arrivals - and eliminate everything we don't need to do - to make it easier on ourselves and the tourists. -
It all starts with the Government consciously evaluating that which is the real Coronavirus threat, and that which is, and has now become institutionalized, administrative Coronaphobia (the fear of the Coronavirus) : Any tourist from a nation with a responsible vaccination program and a controlled rate of infection should be allowed to enter Thailand with a Passport, Valid Visa, a yellow Vaccination Card with evidence of being fully vaccinated not more than 6 months previously. Or, if supplemented by a booster shot, the booster not more than 6 months previously. That's it. No Certificates of Entry. No insurances. No swabs at every turn. Tracking of tourists will revert to the previous system, to include Hotels responsible for the TM-30s and the 90-day check-in requirement for long-stay foreigners would continue. This can be the only acceptable "New Normal". On 27 September, the Prime Minister's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced a relaxation in the current partial lockdown. The new guidelines become effective 1 October 2021. The extracts from the published documents are reproduced below; these guidelines will remain in effect as noted, or until further notice...

"THE REOPENING PLAN"
Further, the initial plan for reopening of Thailand put forward by the CCSA was made public by The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). It should be noted that schedules are subject to change - should conditions so indicate. Quote: "Bangkok, 27 September, 2021 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) would like to report that during today’s meeting, the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has approved a four-phase timeline for the country’s reopening plan to revitalize the nationwide tourism industry : Pilot Phase (1-31 October, 2021) This will continue with the four popular beach resorts, which were the first destinations to reopen – beginning with Phuket on 1 July, then Surat Thani’s Samui, Ko Pha-ngan and Ko Tao on 15 July, and most recently Krabi and Phang-Nga on 16 August - linking with Phuket under the 7+7 Extension arrangement. This phase will also see reopening of new designated areas in Krabi – Khlong Muang and Thap Khaek. First Phase (1-30 November, 2021) This will see the reopening extended to 10 other tourism-driven destinations. These include all areas of Bangkok, Krabi and Phang-Nga, and designated areas in Buri Ram (Mueang), Chiang Mai (Mueang, Mae Rim, Mae Taeng, and Doi Tao), Chon Buri (Pattaya, Bang Lamung, Na Jomtien, and Sattahip), Loei (Chiang Khan), Phetchaburi (Cha-Am), Prachuap Khiri Khan (Hua Hin), and Ranong (Ko Phayam). Second Phase (1-31 December, 2021) The reopening will be extended to 20 more provinces which are tourism-driven, well-known for art and culture, or border destinations. These include Ayutthaya, Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Lamphun, Mae Hong Son, Nakhon Ratchasima, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Narathiwat, Nong Khai, Pathum Thani, Phatthalung, Phetchabun, Phrae, Rayong, Samut Prakan, Songkhla, Sukhothai, Trang, Trat, and Yala. Third Phase (1 January, 2022, onwards) This will see the reopening of 13 border provinces, including Bueng Kan, Chanthaburi, Kanchanaburi, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, Nan, Ratchaburi, Sa Kaeo, Satun, Surin, Tak, Ubon Ratchathani, and Udon Thani. The CCSA has asked all concerned government agencies to prepare for the Phase 1-3 reopening. Meanwhile, foreign tourists can continue to visit the four (existing) pilot beach resort destinations under the existing conditions. " : Unquote 
From a purely 'chartist' assessment, should the rate of decline in new cases continue as currently trending, Thailand could be essentially down to under a thousand CoV-19 cases per day by 15 December (revised from last month) . This is off-the-cuff trending only, and not to be assumed to be accurate - as there is always the possibility of another surge. Careful management must continue, to include universal vaccinations - including 'booster' re-vaccination, and social hygiene.
 In summation, world herd immunity grows through vaccination and through contraction of the disease (- and surviving). And as medicines such as the new oral Merck and Pfizer vaccines will soon be on the market, and the further examination of India's results with Ivermectin, (and the 13 other antivirals now being tested elsewhere), we see that once the Governmental paranoia of Coronaphobia is cast aside, Planet Earth has just one more manageable disease on it's hands. Nothing more. We need to see the Coronavirus for what it is. The Coronavirus has not been 'cancelled', but neither is it, now, anything special. Six months ago I made waves among some circles - I stated that I would push the envelope on what was known about the Coronavirus - I predicted that three years from then (in 2 1/2 more years), virtually everyone would be vaccinated, virtually everyone would have contracted Coronavirus (to include asymptomatically), and everyone would be getting annual booster shots. Some were too kind to criticize my brash leaps-of-logic, others kindly demurred, saying none of that's gonna happen. Since that time, the "booster shot" has already become the jab-d-jour, and substantial populations in universities and communities throughout the world that have already been vaccinated are coming down with Covid (- and surviving). And this is all in 6 months. Again, our reality-check on Coronavirus starts with casting out institutional Coronaphobia.

The Hillary 11 was going full-tilt when we passed by. -And we saw a number of customers making their way inside - in spite of the 9:00 p.m. closing time (to be able to make it home by the 10:00 p.m. curfew). We have to ask ourselves, how much more Covid virus would be spread in a restaurant because it stayed open until 01:00 a.m. (instead of closing at 09:00 p.m.)? -Just asking...

The upstairs-downstairs Ava Bangkok was open - albeit for what looked like a very formal affair... It's a 'Wait-and-See' if they remain open...

The Tewly Cocktail bar beer originally opened on the demolished building site across from the Ambassador hotel in June of 2020. Since then they, and others, have been adding on like the Winchester Castle. Today there are six (6) bar beers on that stretch. -You heard that right...

Aside from the bars facing Soi 7, virtually all the bar beers inside (18) were full-open, lights on, music thumping. And the place was crowded with paying customers... And the Vietnamese Restaurant reopened also. (And this is the Night Entertainment Area that Bangkok's Nightlife pundits said would fail....) Let the good times roll...

This month Midnite Hour presents : another Pre-R&R look at Bangkok's Expat Night Entertainment Scene, where most Nitespots (other than massage parlors) offered live entertainment acts and / or music. Most of the 'local' entertainment was from the Philippines, but the international acts were from the 'four corners' of the planet.
 
The New Champagne Room was one of the more popular Night Clubs in the New Road Night Entertainment Area. In succeeding issues, we will continue to cover (to the extent our collection of clippings and pix can show) the various shows / performers presented at the New Champagne Room.
