From Monday, Bangkok restaurant customers will have an extra two hours to sit back and relax with alcoholic drinks, after authorities eased Covid-19 restrictions.

The capital’s Communicable Disease Committee approved the extension of the drinking deadline from 9pm to 11pm in restaurants that meet SHA+ or TSC2+ criteria.

The move comes as a boost for the tourism industry, which expects to see foreign arrivals increase from February 1 when the quarantine-free Test & Go scheme resumes.

However, bars and nightclubs will remain closed under Covid-19 controls.
