Are you going to tell us yet again that it was designed to do that, get washed away again and again ? We're not talking about the tunnel, we're talking about the beach, have you a thread to link to that would say that the beach was designed to wash away every time it rains ? If not why not ? Or are we just supposed to believe you ? Come on man, prove your worth, provide the link that states irrevocably that that is how it was designed, I'm hoping for a positive answer for when I wake in the morning or will call BS on your pathetic claim.

 

Oh, I found this, amongst many others re the tunnel, dunno which search engine you're using ????

 

 

So you found a picture of a constuction site from several years ago?  Cool story. ????

Oh sorry to offend - my source was Thiger news. I know all in Phuket are desperate for the sandbox to work but the cost in deaths due to the diversion of Vax away from the old and sick to 18 healthy year olds etc is not worth the few Bhat in revenue.

 

You if the old/sick had been prioritised - the complete opening up of all tourist areas would be very close now. Shame on Phuket.

Cool story.  How about a link.

i checked the location here.....there will be no bars there,,,but View talay has so many people living there......I think too many....becomes a huge mess....

I have never heard any complaints of outside noise from VT 2  I think that area is fairly safe from that.  I do think it can be a bit of a problem with all the short term visitors using AirBnB, which is allowed there without restriction I believe, or maybe 1 month minimum?  So it's kind of the luck of the draw what floor you are on and if there are lots of AirBnB flats on your floor and nearby.  I wouldn't want to be too close to the elevator.

Two pieces of advice I have heard from people who lived there. They seemed to think the side facing Pattaya is better because you don't get the sun blasting in and also a nicer evening breeze.  Also, I was told that's it's best to be on or above the 6th floor because mosquitos won't go that high.  Not sure how true that is.  Another thing is that I think the rooms are bigger in VT2A compared to VT 5 across the street.  Maybe VT2B too but not sure about that one.

So, Pattaya beaches still closed but Koh Larn beaches already open. 

 

A good reason to visit the island. 

Pattaya beaches are also opened as far as I know.  I think they are also going to allow swimming pools in Pattaya to open with some restrictions.

Great - so you lock out local tourists in favour of the failed litterbox and now want them back.

Flip flopperty fippping flop

If it is failed why am I getting reports from people actually there that it is starting to get quite busy?  Clearly someone appears to be trying to spread mis-information.  I think you should immediately check your sources which you are most likely pulling out of thin air anyways.

The AZ shot kicked my butt for a couple days, but I never felt a thing from the Pfizer shot about 12 week later.

Does anyone know if Thailand accepts this as legit 2 jabs for arriving tourists?  I am assuming they will since they are mixing jabs now, but I haven't read anything official anywhere.

Barely a drop in the bucket and it sounds like even those numbers and schedule are questionable.

Phuket ...  RIP

You make a compelling argument.  Maybe I should cancel my planned Phuket trip.  The doom mongers here constantly cheerleading for failure to try feel better about their own station in life are never wrong.

Is there any evidence that banning alcohol stops COVID from spreading? Does COVID live in beer and wine?

I don't get it either.  Does anyone have a clue what the rationale is for this?

Does this factoid come from the Dept of Making Things Up?

They did manage to spell mathematically correctly.  So must be legit! ????

There are domestic flights leaving Phuket airport to Bangkok and Utapao (Pattaya).  Today,  Thai Lion air to DMK and Nok air to Utapao.

And, Nok air has flights a few days a week to and from Utapao/Chiang mai.

According to the Nok air website there are no longer any Utapao flights as of Aug 31.  The Utapao website does show two Air Asia flights a week.  Fridays and Sundays.

Any mouthwash , like Listerine kills them in your mouth . This has been said already long time ago . It doesn't do anything else , since it is in the saliva , and you make new saliva every second . It cuts down on transmission rate for a while ( minutes , not hours ) , and doesn't at all prevent you from being sick/infected . The virus enters and is inside your body . Kill them in your mouth is good for prevent spreading for a short while but doesn't do anything else .

It's almost as if antiseptics kill viruses or something.  Go figure.

What a fear monger you are, yes we are all going to die one day.

You can't keep a doom monger down.  Saying "covid bad" is all they have left to cling onto before they switch to "buh Pattaya beach....flooding....the treesssss" full time.

open the gyms, YOU IDIOTS!!!

I sort of understand the gym thing....sort of.  However, closing outdoor things like parks and beaches makes no sense.

Were those flights between Phuket - Pattaya (Utapao) going before the pandemic or is this something new?

The title of this thread must be sending shivers down the spines of the doom mongers.  Predictably, they are working extra hard in the comments to try spin this negative.  A day without doom is like a day without sunshine.

4 people died last week.. how much focus does that need ?? 

Wow, that is like 3 more than all of New Zealand.   4 is so much bigger than 1.  You totally convinced me with that scary number.  And it's only like 1,292 less than the US deaths last week.  Pretty scary!
