Did the interprovincial checkpoints relate to a new respiratory virus, as contagious as the measles, that could impact hospital capacity? Any other examples? Parking fines not be implemented maybe? Do you actually think before you type?

What a carefree holiday.

Did you read my second post? The Chonburi governor has said this is until further notice. The Pattaya News have published the officially signed document. That's why I posted the link. If you can't be bothered to read it, then don't bother replying will ill informed nonsense to me.

Looks like their serious about regulating Pattaya. https://thepattayanews.com/2022/01/02/chonburi-public-health-setting-up-three-major-covid-19-screening-points-in-pattaya-for-free-covid-19-rapid-testing-for-restaurants-that-sell-alcohol/

Deliberate falsification of figures, as per Chonburi big rise of cases telling what's going on. Apparently, at the bar owners meeting yesterday in Pattaya, they advised owners to send any staff members home to self isolate but don't tell the police or report to the local hospitals. Only problem with all this lying and deceit, is that it's creating an illusion for any niave tourists who wish to venture to Thailand. Although to be honest, after peak season ends in mid January, i think that boat will have sailed.

Not so funny.

https://thepattayanews.com/2022/01/02/chonburi-governor-releases-late-night-updated-orders-around-covid-19-and-food-and-beverage-establishments/ Looks like the party is over for Pattaya. Tightened the rules again. - all staff must be tested daily - all customers, irrespective of size of venue or number of customers, must show negative ATK test taken no longer than 72 hours ago - any venue that cannot comply will be closed - the order has no end date More costs and hastles for the long suffering farang business owners.

There was a meeting at the beach club and Pattaya bar owners where told to get with the testing program or bars will be shut until the 16th. Tests are not free in Thailand and i don't know how easily available they are. More hoop jumping and uncoordinated responses. Tourism is going to collapse after the end of the peak season middle of January.

https://thepattayanews.com/2022/01/01/chonburi-governor-issues-new-order-for-restaurants-selling-alcohol/ Pattaya bar owners have been instructed to test their staff for the next 2 days. Venues with over 100 people, will have to test their customers irrespective of vaccination status.

Agree Dave. It's beneath Brian to get involved with someone who comes on the board to bait and troll daily. Just looking for a reaction. Will always just say the complete opposite view, no matter what anyone says. Not the only one that has appeared recently.

Just an observation if i may. This is the second day in a row a thread has been hijacked by the same troll. Personally, i won't be feeding him.

It's only a matter of time before these unfortunate stories hit foreign main stream media.

Omicron hospitalization risk upside, vaccine protection is good: U.K. study https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/31/omicron-hospitalization-risk-upside-vaccine-protection-good-uk-study-.html?__source=androidappshare

Another day, another series of posts by someone who hasn't a clue what he's talking about. Bashing the keyboard, giving us all the benefit of his ignorance. The 1918 pandemic was officially a 3 wave pandemic. Although some people think it was actually 4, with the fourth wave being the exit wave. Some people, who actually know what they are talking about, hope this bodes well for this fourth covid wave. The narrative of viruses always becoming weaker is a false one. I have heard many epidemiologists say that there biggest concern is a mutation as contagious as omicron but much more pathogenic. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/three-waves.htm Feel free now to fill up these cyber pages with more of your "knowledge".

UK about 1,500,000 PCR and the UK government have just ordered 300 million lateral flow tests. Lateral flow tests are available free from pharmacies or for home delivery.

A disgrace. Anyone with Pattaya connections knows omicron is rife. 9 cases one bar Pattaya. FACT. Total cases country PCR 3000. Just lies and misinformation from Thailand.

This doesn't look as if it will help. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3161714/covid-19-vaccines-sinovac-recipients-may-need-two-booster-shots

Totally agree. The only problem is all the hoop jumping they have put in place, plus Test-Wait-Maybe-Go-Hospital on arrival and departure. I think it will be a while, with the Thai Pass system infrastructure in place, that passport stamping at BKK will be reinstated. How many times a year will the sausage fest sex desperados even come with this hoop jumping? I will be so fed up, even i might risk it to get to Thailand this time next year. But do it 2 or 3 times a year? No chance.

Unfortunately real. On a daily basis.

And as a Brucie Bonus sent home with Covid and a 2 week quarantine.

Have a look at the Triangle Bar Facebook page. If you don't believe omicron is rife, in a close personal contact town like Pattaya, i would suggest you are the fool. You don't need to believe Pattaya bar owners, you just need to turn on the news.

Sure. Include all the countries you want in it. I am talking about Thailand, on a Thai forum, and my home country the UK. Thailand said they would vaccinate 70% of their population by the end of this year, i didn't. Graphs are pretty though.

You can be as tactful and measured as you want. I'll call it for factually what it has been. A complete failure from start to not nearly finished.

I would think their campaign has been a complete useless failure from start to finish. They thought they could get vaccines at a bargain basement price by waiting longer then Delta arrived. Didn't join COVAC, allegedly refused vaccine donated from India and bet the house on the CCP's concoctions. Eventually got hand outs from UK, US and other countries. Yet they still can't get 70% of their country double jabbed after 10 months. Omicron arrives and global science says boosters are essential. The UK put's it's shoulder to the wheel and has nearly 60% of the UK population boosted, with all elderly and vulnerable boosted. Thailand 7% boosted. Useless. Pathetic, Fail. Would be my assessment.

I saw this clown being interviewed on the daily Sky business programme. When bars and entertainment where closed, he stated everything was opened. "It's not all open up yet but is it?" asked the presenter. "Yes, everything open" the TAT guy replied. Knowing the facts on the ground at that time, I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of TAT or anything a Thai agency said.
