Elevated tracks, though expensive, are always going to make more sense here. Way too much congestion on the ground. It is the only way to get the speed that is needed. Regardless of the cost, Thailand desperately needs far more high speed transport options. The highways here are a nightmare. 

Elevated tracks will not "float" in the air they will take up much needed real estate on the already crowded Pattaya roads.

The bus system we had several years ago, with 3 lines, was a big flop as nobody used it. Too expensive, long time between buses and long distance between stops.

For convenience, cost and flexibility it would be much better to keep the baht buses but regulate them better.

In the end there will still be baht busses around to cater for routes not covered by the mono rail.

Blood test for what??  This makes no sense at all unless they say what they are testing the blood for.

Crush the whole Bikes then you might get their attention.  Also time to raid and close down every workshop making such Exhaust Systems and Jail the owners; do that a few times and the problem will go away !

Agree 100%

A new exhaust will be back on the bike for a few hundred Baht and the problem will be there again.

Never seen white sand in Thailand so assume it's coloured with some toxic substance.

Nice, they have started cleaning the place. it's about time as it has been a complete dump the last 15 years.

As usual they are just sitting there flipping a coin to make decisions without any care of letting people get some time to adjust to the situation.

The ThaiChana app was mentioned frequently. This app was promised to be available in English long time ago but is still not. Was this a lie or has someone seen this app in English?

Just installed yesterdays update of this app. Still not in English!!!!

Is he proposing several songkran water wars during the year ?

More and more places require you to use the Thai Chana app. This is now supposed to be in English but as far as I can see this is not the case. Can anyone let me know if they can get this app running in English.

Just downloaded but nothing in english in this app??

Yeah but I think the suggestion is to leave it up to the juristic management to decide. Some places may have tourists stuck in their AirBnB rentals. Other places may be vacant of tourists because of the ban on incoming flights. I don't fault the restrictions up to now but going forward, if outdoor areas are opening up, then I think condo pools could be included in that. Large gatherings will still not be allowed even in the public parks. 

It IS up to the juristic management of each condo to decide if to close or keep open. Only public pools have to close.

Rules are changing on almost a daily basis.   I read Pattaya News everyday. 

 

https://thepattayanews.com/category/covid-19-coronavirus

I could not find any rules on this site. I did have a look at the official Pattaya site

https://www.pattaya.go.th/

This is of course only in Thai even if Pattaya totaly depends on foreigners coming here, so no info there. Searched for Pattaya City Call Center 1337 but they only have a facebook site which is just as useless as all other facebook sites compared to a properly designed web site.

If they do arrest foreigners there should be some way foreigners could keep up to date with the rules, where is this?

Do anyone have a link to the actual rules that are in place in Pattaya/Thailand at the moment?

the idea is to stop you traveling unless you have a good reason

I realize that but there is no information on what proof you need to give for leaving Pattaya for a few hours.

you need a residence certificate from Immigration, you still have time if you leave now, take a mask and gloves

That makes a lot of sense as all they need to give you a residence certificate is your drivers license

This is a lock down for in and out traffic but there is no information what you need to leave Pattaya. What do I need if leaving Pattaya to go to Satahip for a few

hours and then return.

Will a drivers license with your address and a passport be OK to return, do you need any evidence of why you have to leave Pattaya??

"No activities in public areas" covers everything you do outside your home!!

Does this mean you can not go out anymore, even to buy food?
