This week marks the return of lockdown regulations in dark-red areas, which, of course, includes Bangkok Region. What comes with the stricter obligations for the next two weeks are dine-in prohibition and limited operation hours of certain venues like shopping malls and supermarkets.
All in all, this means that going outside this weekend isn't quite a good idea for several obvious reasons, like there's not much to do, eh? So, let's stay home, escape the lingering virus, and find something to do—and here's some ideas that we believe you should take into consideration.
Bring back your workout routine to get in best shape.
A huge problem with not being able to go out is the lack of moving your body physically, and literally! What follows this is the weight gain that will slowly threaten your well-being. This is why doing some exercise is totally a great thing to do during this lockdown. Check out this list of recommended workout studios that provide some virtual tips and tricks to break a sweat.
Tune into these brilliant albums while working away your home tasks.
The perk of working from home is the complete freedom to do whatever you want to enhance the experience whether it's wearing comfy clothes or blasting loud music. The latter one can be more explored here! We have rounded up a list of 14 records ranging from big bangers to low-key tunes by artists across genres. These albums promise to give you the best time during work hours (or even while cleaning your house!)
Start thinking about redecorating your space with new must-have items.
Cocooning inside your place will somehow force you to look at some wrongs to be right—we mean your home equipment, of course! Is your working chair good enough to support your nine-to-five routine? Have you got some reed diffusers to set the right mood with pleasing smell? There could be something else you might want to have to better your WFH time. Check out this list of ours where you will discover ten cool items to switch up your house.
Browse through these new lifestyle stores for a new chic home decor.
After scrolling through our recommendations on what you should have at home, let's explore more about these awesome shops in the city where lifestyle connoisseurs always go to when the urge to redecorate their place kicks in.
Liven up your house with some indoor plants.
In addition to cool home equipment, indoor plants are also one of the biggest essentials that effectively liven up the environment. We have curated a line-up of easy-to-take-care small trees perfect for this lockdown moment.
Shoot up your adrenaline with these zombie movies and series.
Now that you can't go out on your adventure outdoor this weekend, let's create one under the roof by binging these gory and great zombie movies and series on Netflix. Have you heard that watching something fuelled up with thrill is another way to help you lose some calories too?
Warm up your heart with nostalgic Disney classics.
If you're not a fan of scary movies like those zombie outbreak flicks, Disney+ Hotstar is here as a perfect alternative to explore the cuter side of the streaming world. This global platform has just gone live in Thailand less than a month, and streams around the nation have been crazy over a huge back catalogue of Disney as well as superhero-forward Marvel Studio. You can now subscribe to its service, or check out these highlights first in case you're not sure if you want to do it.
Last but not least, let's support local restaurants during the dine-in ban.
It's undeniably a tough time for eating establishments—big to small—to survive amidst the prohibition on dining in. All we can do to help them now is to support them through the service of delivery platforms. Time Out and Grab have taken part in the #LoveLocal campaign by giving out a B15 discount on users who order (with the minimum of B150) from restaurants in the "Support Local Restaurants" section on the app with promo code "TIMEOUT" until July 31.
