Could be a sign of things to come, a mall in Bangkok installed foot pedals in the elevators.

Posts: 5446One good outcome from Covid-19?
I just heard on the news that the latest research suggests loud talking increases the spread of the virus through increased spewing of droplets that go along with it. More than from contact with contaminated surfaces. Which could explain why noisy environments like meat packing plants, conventions and crowded bars create Super Spreading conditions due to people needing to shout in order to be heard over the din.
When the beer bars, go-go bars and clubs do fully re-open, I hope the management will be required to keep the music down to a tolerable 4 or 5 instead of a head splitting 10 (or a Spinal Tap 11) for the sake of health safety, reducing the amount of shouting required between customers and staff and customer to customer as much as possible.

Using Washington post to bash Trump? All they do is right crap about Right wing governments. You might have as well used Biden's tweets to prove your point.

To be honest, with regards to Thailand, it had little to do with the health of the people. Research HIV and AIDS in Thailand or how many thousands died of TB last year in this country. If it makes money for the government, such as sex, prescription drugs on the street, counterfeit items, pornography, cannabis, alcohol and tobacco, Thailand will overlook it, even though the laws state otherwise. So this leads me to seriously believe this Coronavirus closure crap was due to the fear and exodus of tourists. The truth is, there were no customers on Walking Street. And the bars and clubs were not making any revenue with too many expenses including staff, police, and government payoffs, so they had to be shut down. No tourist groups renting jet skis, buying seafood, parachuting, or renting beach chairs, then the beaches stay shut down. Because the locals will just bring their own food and mats and leave a huge mess. But of course, the government will say "closure is to prevent spread of COVID-19. " People need to wake up and realize what it's always been about. Cash, it's what's for dinner.

Today was first day of reopening of the malls. Central Festival had plenty of people, lots of window shoppers, but very few bought anything. Only about 70% of the store were open. 90% of the entire top floor of restaurants were closed and air conditioning was sporadic. To gain entry into the mall itself, you were required to scan QR code to an app or website for tracking. Odd thing is that you were required to do so again once you entered in certain retail shops, while others you were not. I'm thinking they are tracking the money and where it's being spent and using COVID-19 and an excuse. The country and the world is in a recession, the mall is a very expensive place to be during these times, especially for the Thais in Pattaya. Mall business was already bad before the lockdown, just the same as Walking Street, today was just out of excitement I believe. When restaurants were allowed to open, they had a rush. Mr. E was one of the lucky guy who was able to grab a seat at the patio of Prime Burger on Buakhao on its first few days of reopening. Now the patio is pretty much empty. Inside the restaurants at Central, the whole dining out experience was gone. Most restaurants were empty. Buffets closed. Coffee shops and ice cream shops, no sitting down and to go. The one with the moving belt full of hot pot items on plates, were sit far apart, no getting up and order from a menu like a normal sit down restaurant. It was so somber. Waiters acted like police, "no can't do this, no can't do that. " Minimal talking due to spread worries, screens separating people across from one another, and of course no loitering. You are expected to come in order, wait longer for food because staff shortages, eat, then pay your bill and leave. Reminds me of a bad experience with a mechanical starfish from agogo or something. How long will this last in Pattaya because guess what? Rent is still due and the experience or joy of dining out is pretty much gone at Central Festival.
On the way back, I saw the floor manager of Baccara. He used to be in charge of the male staff at Baccara and allowed me or those with me to take photos in the club. He is now selling meat skewers from a cart next the Bronx Pizza by the Slice on Buakhao (near LK Metro).
