Papa Sam Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Musicians today demonstrated in front of the Government House asking the government to end the entertainment venue lockdown writes the Dailynews today, November 23rd: The musicians asked for the opening of entertainment venues on December 1st already. They complain that they don't have anything to eat, that they had to borrow money from friends, and that they had no money for child tuition fees. Many even had to move their families back to their hometowns. Some musicians had to change jobs and found work as gardeners or security guards. Night entertainment was closed first and opens now last they complain. The government told them not to be selfish but on the other hand they had to endure for more than 2 years now already... The demonstration took place today November 23rd at Nang Loeng junction in Bangkok near Government House (office of the PM). The group of musicians and night workers was led by Ms. Thanaporn Wichan an activist for the Labor Network for People's Rights. The group of demonstrators submitted a letter to the government demanding the loosening of night entertainment restrictions. They demonstrated against the PMs recent announcement to postpone the opening of entertainment venues, pubs, bars, karaoke until January 16th of next year. The demonstrators want bars to be opened on December 1st as previously planned. The demonstration was peaceful writes the Daily News. https://www.dailynews.co.th/news/504200/ Prachatai also covered the story today: Prachatai also published the letter by the demonstrators to the PM. Among their specific demands: Sale of alcohol should be extended until midnight. Entertainment venues, pubs, bars, and karaoke facilities that are unable to open on December 1st, should receive a compensation that should be going to musicians, singers, artists and other related night service workers in the right amount (enough for sustenance)...

Bangkok's radio station FM91 has the reaction from government: In the case of pub and bar operators calling to open bars before January 16th, 2022, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health said that such a matter can be done or not. We have to consider the safety of most of the people. Currently, we have relaxed a lot of measures. https://www.fm91bkk.com/fm113840 In Udon Thani, musicians and people working for the nightlife industry also demonstrated for the reopening of entertainment venues: www.facebook.com/196552780439832/posts/4605996836162049/ Also in Udon Thani, police inspected the "Khao Kaeng Restaurant" on Song Joan Soi 7.

But I thought the old style bars of Soi 6 were a better experience for me. Different strokes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graffiti appeared on the walls in the area - "We'll not forget you Billy Sands" ! Was working down in NSW and having a morning break, went to the local bakery. There was a sign advertising Cornish Pasties. I asked the girl, (about 19), if they were genuine Cornish Pasties, made in Cornwall. She said I will check on that and went out the back. My mate doubled up with laughter until she returned saying " no, they are made locally". I said I would have something else thanks. Made my day!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually have been to Bedford many times. Stayed in a village named Oakley, not far out of town. Loved Oakley but not Bedford so much.

By the look of Bryan he could afford to go on a hunger strike for a week or two! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
