After Thailand began reopening businesses, many restaurants are doing their best to look out for their customers’ safety, and some are doing so in the cutest ways.

Bar B Q Plaza, a well-known grill chain restaurant often found in malls, is one of many places that came up with super adorable safety precautions to prevent possible COVID-19 infections.

Besides basic rules such as providing contactless payment options and hand sanitisers, the restaurant also decided to implement a ‘1 table 1 person’ policy to help everyone keep a safe distance.

To help with the social distancing, Bar B Q Plaza occupied a seat on every table with Pi ‘Gon, aka Brother Dragon, their signature mascot.

Additionally, the restaurant also wants to make it less awkward and lonely for folks who are still shy to eat out.  

For people who come in with your special someone, don’t be sad. You can still choose to sit next to one another with a clear partition installed between the tables. 


All branches are now open
