Month: October 2021

As Thailand is moving away from the rainy season, the Meteorological Department has announced that this year’s winter season will officially begin next week, with the early-winter climate expected to be similar to last year.

The Meteorological Department said winter will officially start on 2 November 2021. Some weather events are expected in the upper region of the country, as the country transitions from the rainy season to winter. Some rainfalls are expected in the upper region, while the southern region will continue to face heavy downpours.

In lower northern and upper central regions, the volume of water flowing into water bodies and rivers is showing a decreasing trend.

To speed up the mitigation of flooding in provinces downstream of the Chao Phraya River, the Office of National Water Resources will be holding an urgent meeting with related agencies to revise water discharge plans from dams, including Pa Sak Jolasid, Tub Sela, Khwae Noi, and Chao Phraya.

The Bangkok Communicable Disease Committee has resolved to lift the ban on alcoholic beverage consumption in restaurants that have been certified with the SHA+ Standards; entertainment venues, pubs, bars, karaoke, and massage parlors excluded.

On October 30, 2021, the Bangkok Communicable Disease Committee made known its resolution to amend orders placed in Bangkok earlier, which bans the consumption of alcoholic beverages, to comply with the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA)’s recent orders to proceed with the reopening the country.

According to the announcement, starting November 1, 2021, measures in Bangkok will be further relaxed to allow more venues to resume their business operations, with service hours extended to 9 p.m. All businesses must still strictly comply with the government’s Universal Prevention and other disease prevention measures.

Nevertheless, the Bangkok Communicable Disease Committee also expressed concerns as the relaxation might pose a risk for a potential outbreak; therefore, operators of all food or beverage outlets are requested to keep up with the country’s new heightened sanitation standards.

All businesses can visit thailandsha.com to assess if their current standards meet the newly required SHA+ requirements.
