    The reason for the outbreak is pretty clear 

     

    1. Opening borders and Pattaya to foreign tourists without opening up enough venues to support them which created mass overcrowding in a very compact area of Pattaya that was clearly not equiped to handle the numbers

     

    2. Telling foreign tourists that Thailand (Pattaya) was open when it clearly wasn't (see above), as I said before - either open up or don't - this was clearly a massive error to create some sort of half way house with pubs still being forced closed - how on earth was that going to work - it created mass overcrowding in a very compact area

     

    3. who to blame - well the authorities and their stupid restrictions and opening up to tourists when they clearly were not ready which created mass overcrowding in a very compact area

     

    4. Do I blame the few venues that tried to pack em in - not one bit - not their fault that they became overwhelmed.

     

    5. Do I blame the tourists who swamped the place - not one bit, they were told Thailand was open when it clearly wasn't 

     

     

    Like I have said before - either open up or don't - no half measures, and they should have opened up to locals weeks before accepting foreign tourists 

     

    What next - likely a ### lockdown  of their own making because of their stupid insistance on control and not allowing the place to fully open in the first place - you cannot defeat stupidity like that

    Yes Smedly. As I have said before,.....Thailand is not "Open", maybe an airport or 3 and then danger awaits.

    Do you know what the rent is in WS?

     

    I know that a reasonable sized bar will be looking at paying 130,000 baht a month along with tea money every three years.

     

    I don't believe they would destroy whats there now and loose that income.

     

    Right now they are not getting any rent from closed bars, so once they open again the landlords will no doubt be at the door with their hands out.

    No Bloke. Please do not take this response negatively. I don't know what the rent is (or will be) on WS but I imagine was not cheap.

    I think your comment is most excellent as there are always 2 sides to a discussion.

    I hadn't given any thought to landlords who may still hold bars. Perhaps there is a tomorrow?

    Part of the charm of living here is the chaos.

     

    If no chaos it's getting boring pretty quickly, might as well move home then.

    Guzzi850m2. Only just found your comment. That would be the Le Mans eh?

    Superb stuff.

    I had 2 Kawi 750's; GT & GPZ back old days.

    Nothing came near a Le Mans, even a Triumph Trident (close)????.

    Yes, agreed - the chaos can be quite calming.

    Prior to Covid some surveys showed that 86% of all arrivals were lower or lower middle income tourists from China, Malaysia and India. After Covid? Far fewer of them and maybe 12 to 20  wealthy tourists a year. Maybe. 

     

    The goons are successfully doing everything in their power to strip Thailand of much of it's character. Khao Son Road. Samui, Phuket, Pattaya. Without the nightlife that will likely NOT revive after nearly 2 years of consistent and deliberate sabotage, Thailand is finished as a tourist destination. Millions of jobs lost. 

     

    One can only hope one day Prayuth and his henchmen are held responsible at the Hague, or exiled from Thailand. The crimes being committed against the Thai people are unforgivable. 

     

    Swampy recently at 10am.
