Thailand’s reopened nightlife to close at midnight

13 Sept 12:17 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's entertainment venues, including bars, pubs, and massage parlors, are expected to reopen but will enforce a midnight closing time as part of the fifth phase of lockdown relaxations.
Strict health and safety protocols will govern these venues, requiring patrons and staff to register via the Thai Chana app, undergo health screenings, maintain social distancing, wear face masks, and prohibit mingling, shouting, or dancing.
Further easing of restrictions allows shopping malls to operate without limits, while game and internet cafes will implement age-based time restrictions and stringent hygiene measures, alongside specific mask and social distancing rules for massage parlors.
