The Bangkok city government has ordered by provincial decree that entertainment venues, pubs, bars, karaoke shops, massage parlors and similar establishments must remain closed until January 15th.

This step is related to the government's measures to contain the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.

Previously, such establishments were allowed to remain open, especially during holidays. Some bars, for example on Khao San Road, require proof of vaccination or a negative antigen test result before entry.

Those who violate this law face up to one year in prison and a fine of up to 100,000 baht. They will also be charged under the nationwide emergency decree, which provides for up to two years in prison and a fine of up to 40,000 baht.

The Centre for the Management of the Covid-19 Situation will review its measures in January 2022.
