Just been published in the Hong Kong media now "Japan halted its visa-free policy for Hongkongers on Thursday, as a response to the coronavirus outbreak. Thailand, meanwhile, announced a 14-day self-quarantine order for all visitors from the city."
Although published today the article in your link mentions the policy on THURSDAY.
Thailand and Bhutan
Thailand also announced on Thursday that visitors from Hong Kong would be made to undergo a 14-day self-quarantine upon arrival, RTHK reported.
So again, ancient history. We need to hear from today's arrivals

That story is dated 2 days ago, so can be considered ancient history. We still need to hear from people flying in as of today

There is a massive labour camp up there at the moment- I get the feeling the road was probably a golden 'my mother's brother's uncle is building it' money making project as it serves no purpose other than to allow access to the elephant camps and the ponds where the fire trucks fill up. Saying that it is very well constructed. I had one of the locals refer to it one day as 'Orbator's land'- whether he meant the local Gov't or the individual I never did find out. Interestingly the police patrol up there a couple of times a day.
Rumour a couple of years back was that the area was going to be done as a golf course but now the road is in we can scotch that one. Planting the eucalyptus may have just been a soil retention thing.
Personally I see it becoming another big housing estate.
On the subject of golf courses, I was told that the huge cleared area of land on the other side and behind Cherngtalay village south of soi Pasak 8 was going to be developed as a golf course. Any info?

@ Psimbo ( or anyone)
"There is only one viable solution for a bypass and time is rapidly running out. Headed north turn right into the wide soi across from Tescos, follow the existing road up and then drive a link road across to the new airport runway (4 lane road to nowhere) opposite Cherng Talay Temple."
Yes I saw and drove up that 4 lane new road to nowhere recently (well when I say nowhere, I mean 2 Elephant Parks.). What is it for??

This is a game changer for Phuket, which unlike other Eatigo locations has a low season.. Crazy not to use this as a customer, and restaurants can reel them in in slow times of the year (or week)

Still scams here in Phuket.
There was a farang lady going off on our beach front the other day.
Cops came , kept it all low key , but she paid something , we all saw that.
I have no idea why anyone would want to pay $75 aud to these bad boys of the beach here
How much does a legal and licensed and actually safety checked one cost to hire for 30 minutes back home ??
What beach, please?

Hotel gets a lot of Chinese package tourists but they all seem to disappear on tours during the day. The few beachgoers seem to be Chinese and Russians.
Yes, nice beach (in season) , but there's nothing to do there except parade up and down the fruit stalls along the (only) road together with the masses of Russians, who now "own" Naithon Beach..

Just go to Bangtao beach (Laguna (middle) Section) and your family will thank you for it. Stay at any Laguna Hotel, (Angsana, Cassia etc) or any cheaper one of the new hotels in the area. Plenty of bargain room rates until November. Fantastic restaurants and kids club activities all around.

Yeah but the Thais have the least empathy in the world. Amulet reliance is laughable, and they have short term memories. The guys who scrape up the mangled roadkill all deserve medals.

I need to replace the kitchen in my condo with something more modern and very European in style. Anyone had any recent experience of doing that? Someone said Ikea do a pretty good job, but I am sure there are other better options. Any ideas on cost?

Feels like 20 years per term in his case.
Agreed. He seems to have been around forever, and the majority of the blackspots and illegal occupation in that area is down to his corrupt mismanagement.

Clearly someone forgot to slip Ma-Ann the usual envelope!!
The only good thing about the upcoming elections is that Orbator Chiefs are only allowed to have two terms in power (not sure if this is retroactive or from the date of the election) so this slimeball will eventually slither away.
Is this his second term or his first term? How long is a term?

Pad Thai at my posh golf club is 315. This is central and central patong . I am sure there is 25 baht pad Thai round the corner. So what

Went back today to have a look and the goulash, lasagne, American meatloaf etc all at 59 baht per 100 gm, as were the veges etc to accompany the dishes, and the small sauteed potatoes looked delicious!
As for the Pad Thai, well I make it at home sometimes and by the time I've bought the ingredients incl chicken, prawns, spring onions, tofu, ground nuts, bean sprouts and all that goes in it, it must be getting up there. The Pad Thai I had in the JC foodcourt was smallish and not at all tasty and was around 129-149 baht if I recall correctly.
I personally don't mind paying the prices above esp for the farang food (e.g. 118 baht for 200 gm of Lasagne) as IMO it is good value for money.
OMG 150 THB for Pad Thai in Central Food Hall in the most prime real estate position in the resort island of Phuket? Are you chaps short of a few bob?

Thailand announces compulsory quarantine for arrivals from six places
in Thailand News

The position, quoted from SCMP, is as follows;
If it was necessary for those in self-quarantine to go outside, the ministry recommended that they wear face masks and wash their hands regularly in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.
The places listed by the Department of Disease Control are: China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Iran, France, and Germany.
