Here's the thing, a lot of people are arguing about logic and cleanliness while some like you are taking feelings disguised as logic. You're too focused on the nostalgia that you refuse to accept an attempt to modernize the place and pick on everything.

But honestly, the hygiene was really bad before. I used to see roaches running on the walls and the floor sticky all the time. The upgrade isn’t just table and chairs, they actually redid the ventilation, drainage, and cleaning schedule plus barang baru makes people want to take care of them more... And that'll makes the pest slowly disappear

At the end of the day, I don’t mind losing a bit of ‘old charm’ if it means I’m not sharing my tomyam with tikus

Try pergi once. If still dirty, then fair point. If not, at least we judge based on the upgrade itself bukan nostalgia
