The Nation, an English-language Thai newspaper, with the latest reports on new influenza cases in thailand.
"The National Culture Commission is asking some 10,000 karaoke parlours and 49,000 game shops nationwide to sanitise their equipment and not to allow children or young adults inside.
Secretary General Chaweerat Kasetsoontorn said she would like to see them close voluntarily for 15 days, especially if any staff or customers were found to have contracted type A (H1N1).
In Chiang Mai, a man said he came down with the disease after visiting a gay sauna in Bangkok, said Natee Teerarojjanapongs, presฌident of the Gay Political Group of Thailand.
He called on saunaowners to screen clients before allowing them in.
The sauna in question is located in the Pattanakarn Road area, and many clients were coughing, Natee quoted the unnamed man as saying.
He said there were about 60 saunas for gay men in Bangkok, two in Khon Kaen and three in Chiang Mai.
In Kamphaeng Phet yesterday, the provincial culture and publichealth offices inspected local karaoke parlours and urged them to keep their doors open during their offservice hours, for better ventilation.
They also asked them not to serve young adults or any clients exhibiting flu or cold symptoms."
How long it will take until massage parlours, gay saunas, gogo bars, the body to body contact places and other nightlife spots like discotheques are ordered to shut and close? Tourist places like Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket with no bars open?:
