Stating the obvious Provincial Governors will start enforcing the travel restrictions 

After the New Year holiday once people return back to Bangkok for work

I think some people need to get better prospective of what's happening around the World with the spread of the Corivirus 

Take UK full lockdown

Its not the end of the world bars  ect closing 

There is always next year to look forward to ( hopefully ) 

Cant seriously see people travelling to Pattaya now as nothing open 

As for the rest of the country people will travel to  see their families 

Then after the New Year the whole country up to the Provincial Governors will start their local lock downs 

After the Horse has  bolted so to speak

Can't see Tourist coming untll the Quarantine measures are lifted

If Tourists are willing to get the vaccine  and spend 15 days in Quarantine 

Plus everything else associated flights ect 

Then some of us us on here must be missing something 

Which is possible ????

As already mentioned   we will all suffer  the Consequences  for the Government not taking any  action earlier ie Provinces not putting  Quarantine and lockdowns  in place

After the New year is finished let's see how the numbers pan out 

Well I think we all know what is coming after the New Years holiday is over

The Provincial Governors will start enforcing the travel and drink restrictions 

Just surprised its not happening now

Proberly  to late now as most people will be travelling to their home or holiday destinations in the coming days 

Well looks like the Government is  thinking more of the business side of things over the coming New Year hotel bookings restaurants ect 

People are travelling in the coming days to late now to stop now 

Will be interesting to see how this pans out in January

Hindsight is a wonderful thing 

Have to smile when they pull these figures out of the air

They have no clue how things will progress  next year with the Corivirus 

The Quarantine measures will have to go before Tourists will come to Thailand

Looks more like a wish list and hoping or praying whichever comes first

Just drink in moderation one after the other????

I cancelled my New Year trip up north, lost the money on the flights, got a refund on the hire car and hadn’t booked the hotel yet. Hoping they will lockdown then I will get the flights refunded.
 

I have watched Europe and the USA all year and thought they were plain stupid for plane travel so it would also be stupid for me to do it now even though I was reluctant to cancel. I was also concerned about getting stuck up north if they locked down when I was there.
 

IMO they should lockdown over NEw Year. Most people have a week off anyway, just make them stay where they are, like they did at Songkran. That worked. There is more covid now in Thailand and the world than back then. If I was in charge I would call a two week lockdown tomorrow and then reassess. Hopefully nip it in the bud.

The problem with New Year is families and friends get crammed in together in the same car to travel. Only one has to have it, then it will spread to everyone in the car during the long drive.Then they all get out at the destination  and visit their various friends and families and it will spread further. Then they head back to work and further spread it. And all the oldies in the village will have it also. 

 

To beat covid you have to social distance, not socialise.

 

i hope I am wrong but it could really be a disaster. Stupid to risk it for a holiday. Once numbers get past a certain level it will be impossible to eliminate like they did last time, and it will just be lockdown after lockdown just trying to contain it like in Europe and failing miserably.
Better to go hard, go fast IMO. 
 

It wasn’t Prayuts idea to lockdown the first time, he was pressured into it. I hope they pressure him again but time is running out.

  Yes totally agree the Prime Minister should lead from the front on this

But now is handing the decision back to the Provincial Governors

Bit late after the New Year like closing the stable doors after the horses have bolted

Seems to be conflicting reports one says by March other before March

The way things are going with more Corivirus  cases  going up each day

Could be looking after the New Year maybe even before?

The Provincial Governor here in Chai Nat province was one of the first to introduce lockdown procedures the last time and there was no Corivirus cases

Just waiting now to see what happens 

Just close the hotel sends out a warning to others not to get involved in Illegal 

Activities 

I think if the numbers keep increasing the Provincial Governors

Will introduce Lockdown Procedures in their own Provinces 

When their was   less or No cases before?

Well as already mentioned Boris was not leaving with out a deal which no doubt will <deleted> off quite a few Brexit leavers

Who don't care about the hit the country would have taken jobs wise plus a low pound ect

Accept the deal is done let's get on with it look forward to a prosperous New Year 2021

Well at least that's positive news for Christmas 

Will see what happens next week before New Year hopefully the same 

So let's all enjoy

If there are any lockdowns to come 

Can They  do  after Christmas day

i am due my shopping run on that day to top up with Chang ect 

If there are people willing to buy into this scheme and looking at the numbers seems  so 

Its  positive instead of always reading negative news about investing in Thailand 

Proberly  a surprise to some on here

Why stock-up on anything, the supermarkets didn't close last time?

 

Looking more  at the alcohol  side of things 

Well its better to be on the safe side all festive activities should be reviewed and if needed cancelled

If the situation gets worse Provincial leaders could start the lockdown procedures  

I am keeping a eye out on this could be i will need to stock up as per  say from the supermarket

Considering the Nana plaza complex is more for Tourists who have money to spend and are looking for a good time

Seems a reasonable price

then again if you are not a tourist there are cheaper places to drink in Bangkok
