I guess this month....i say that because carts were not compulsory on the PSC Golf rate list for Oct Nov or Dec....but is now.

They give with one hand and take double with the other

Advance notice may have been useful

Any idea of the costs ?

Jomtien immigration unusually requires the three months after extension bank account check. I think you know the answer. Don't do it during the first three months!

I renewed my extension in November and wasn't  given the 3 month bank form

And will the course staff and caddies be isolating on site?? 

So resident golfers will have to find somewhere else while this goes on??

After the years I've spent in Thailand, I've come to realize there's nothing I can do to change this so I just accept what the price is or walk away from it.

Walk away

God help Thailand whoever becomes the next PM! They're all tarred with the same greedy brush!

 

 

I think it's already been decided who the PM is ad infnitum.

lately, I played Pattaya CC, Parichat, Bangpra, Burapha, Laem Chabang.

none of them asked me any PSC credentials to give me the discounted rate.

 

Probably because courses are still running sport days and other promotion.

No need to be a member of any organisation to get the rate.

PSC rates are really only workable in high season, when all the promotions are stopped.

Gymkhana Golf Club, Chiang Mai. One can book caddies there without a booking fee.

Booking a caddy at any course does not guarantee that you will have that caddy when you play.

Many times we have booked, when we arrive the office tells us "no work today" or "already on course"

Me thinks that the small can of Leo/Chang etc that you can purchase at most stores for 35 baht but at Pattana it is 100baht... is likely to be the "Free Beer " they are promoting.

 I may have been born at night.....but it was n,t last night.

Yes, the definition of "free beer" needs to be resolved.

Could mean A single (doubtless small) can, or the other extreme is a buggy with free-flow draught for the whole round.

Probably the former...

See the latest price for January is now up to 1550baht all-in but includes "Free Beer"......a must for all those Drink Drivers.

So you have about 4 hours to drink your fill

There was a rush of applications for restaurant licences during the first wave, with some places changing their name to help their claim they are now restaurants. I'm guessing this is going to go down the "substantial meal" route.

So is a scotch egg a substantial meal?

or large bowl of peanuts?

It was the same rule for tier 3 in the UK. Alcohol can only served with a substantive meal. Its related to people getting drunk and not observing Covid norms such as social distancing.

Hmm.. define "substantive"

Last lockdown in Pattaya a bag of crisps was enough

What a mess.

How many might have cancelled their fancy expensive dinner? (3000 to 4000 Baht at Casa Pascal)

Big winner was Makro.

5 deep at the meat counters took ages to do shopping for the re-arranged evening bbq

Incorrect.......We have a bar seating about 35. We serve food too, though not an extensive menu, about 12 Thai dishes, plus burgers, fish chips, Chili, stew, pies etc.

We were told by messenger from the Policeman, who knows our establishment very well, that we had to close.

Meanwhile a restaurant down the road who seats about the same, albeit in less than half the space, is packed full of customers drinking beers...............Absolute madness...........

But who owns the restaurant down the road ?

All back to normal after 24 hours ??

Yesterday early evening, Pattaya Facebook pages were alight with restaurant owners imploring people to eat at their restaurants which had been suddenly allowed to re-open amazingly quickly into an indefinite shutdown.

So today all can re-open as usual.??

• "Pubs, bars, entertainment establishments and service-like establishments open until midnight." 

Very effective because the virus comes like a ghost after midnight... 

Don't forget Anutin said it would all blow away soon.....

Just read an earlier posting on the best 3 golf courses around Bangkok, not in my opinion more like the 3 most expensive golf courses around Bangkok!

Yes -- and Amata only allows members or signed-in guests.

So what if I want to walk around the course and get exercise with my caddy ? Why are motorised carts compulsory ? In Australia there is no compulsory motorised carts ( we can use push carts)? Just seems like an added cost 

Exactly what compulsory carts are -- added cost to the round.

Long gone are the days of sharing a cart with the caddies perched on the back.

Few courses around Pattaya allow you to walk, even fewer caddies want to walk when they can be your chauffer instead.
