In an initiative spearheaded by Asia Today, eight of the most popular bars in Chinatown’s Soi Nana, including the former, Teens of Thailand, Ba Hao, Black King Bar, TAX, Tep Bar, Pijiu Bar, and Wallflower, are now asking for vaccination proof (ie., a vaccination certificate from the likes of the MorProm app) from customers hoping to enter their premises. In addition, guests should have completed at least two doses within three months prior to their visit.
The unvaxxed and those short of one dose can still access these hip venues, but they need to take an ATK test and show negative results. Those who recently recovered from COVID-19 can also show a document stating their health status.
Soi Nana’s bars have been the first to enact this plan—without the government’s enforcement—following the spread of the supposedly more transmissible Omicron variant that’s been blamed on recent New Year celebrations. It’s interesting to see if more venues in Bangkok will follow suit.
