What’s Open During Covid Now- BKK?
Are things like the bars on Khao San Road open right now during covid? What are the restrictions of things open, if there are any restrictions?

I think G Bangkok (formerly known as G.O.D.) is still closed but DJ Station was able to open (maybe on a “restaurant” license?).
A major indoor EDM event during Songkran has decamped to Phuket for an outdoor beach concert, as staging a big event indoors in Bangkok in April would be basically out of the question. This event also requires daily antigen testing. Not enthusiastic to do it, would prefer we just live with this thing as endemic, but if that’s what it takes, ok, swab me and let me in.

That’s worth it. An extra 500 baht cover charge, basically. I’d be willing to pay it.

I think it’s safe to say that the backpackers and the fun people who I would want to hang out with at the bars aren’t here anyway.
From what I’ve seen there’s a lot of creepy looking older, single white guys roaming around and I think I know their intentions.

Backpackers aren't really around but certain areas are really lively. CentralWorld bars appear to be mostly local Thai and the W District was as well. I didn't enter the CentralWorld bars but went to the W District a few times and it was very busy on the weekends. The party scene isn't anything like it was before though. I'm not a drinker so I wouldn't have any recommendations for that scene.
