I am just wondering what is going to happen with many of the entertainment venues around the country if we can ever get back to some semblance of normal again..."Entertainment after Covid'....what's it gonna look like
I was very sad to see that La Scala in BKK has closed its doors to showing films as it can no longer make a go of it..its going to become just another venue for hire now...I used to love that seeing films in that joint...it is a real beauty
I imagine lots of joints are going to be in the same boat...I see and have heard of loads of restaurants/bars/clubs here on Samui, particularly in Lamai and Chaweng where the owner/operators have just walked away and gone back to their home countries...a couple of suicides in with that lot as well...I just don't see enough biz going around to sustain the industry as it is now here..and whatever laws/restrictions that will be placed on them in order to reopen
other tourist ventures like the Zip Line, Diving, Boat Trips etc have closed for at least 3 months with some saying they may not be back...and I have been dropping a small donation to the elephant sanctuary, along with a few mates, each month as they were in desperate need of money just to feed the animals..
even though there are planned tranches of re-openings coming down the pipeline and a mooted lifting of lockdown measures planned for 1st July...I just can't see a lot of the smaller joints being in any fit state to either open again or survive until next year before tourists are likely (or not) to start arriving again
hard to imagine this joint ever being the same again TBH..
