Call me old fashion, or just old--but I don't see anything wrong with Pattaya. If it went back to the way it was in 2004, the baht 50 to 1, bar fines 200 to 400, happy hour beers 40 baht, and lovely slim ladies happy to be your friend, the money would again flow like a tidal wave. It's a win win. Turning Beach Rd into Orchard Rd will never happen. Universal Studios and Disney will never come. Koh Larn will never be Sentosa Island. 

Very true only idiots change things that work and bring plenty of money in .

Here are the conditions that would allow tourists to perhaps leave their quarantine rooms:

 

* They will have to wear tracking devices to monitor their every movement.

 

*They will have to stick to routes where other Thai people do not go. They must not veer off course at all.

 

*They will have to be followed around 24/7 by Covid minders to ensure they don't stray and are healthy

 

* They will be encouraged to do fresh air activities - golf was mentioned in the Daily News story as a possibility. 

 

Despite these extraordinary restrictions Dr Tharet is convinced this is the way forward to kickstart the Thai economy and get the tourism ball rolling again.
