Pretty simple really, if a bar wants to open and is prepared to adhere to the safety guidelines as instructed by the government then he is welcome too. I've been to restaurants and drank beer without any problem.  Khun Prayut Chan O Cha and his government certainly don't want to risk a second wave of infections in Thailand as that would really be disastrous. Some farang may not agree with the safety measures being in place, however I for one prefer the safer method so as to lower the risk of any transmission rather than relax the lockdown just to please a few boozers that can't get into their favorite drinking hole everyday and go upstairs. Well done Thailand on minimal COVID-19 infections & transmission.

Exceptional work by Khun Prayut Chan O Cha in enforcing the lockdown measures that prevented big numbers. Glad i'm lockdown here rather than Brazil or Italy.

All part of the plan to shut down Pattaya as a sex tourist location. Once the bars shut/sell, the local government will swoop in and tear it all down and re-build Pattaya as family-friendly.

what about the sex drunks who want bang and drink all day and night and swear. you know, the one's with three day growth and a tattoo on each shoulder and wearing a smelly grey singlet and boxer shorts.

That cop on the left did a shocking job at pointing at the body, he put no "heart" into it. I give his pointing skill a 3/10 at best.

he doesn't even look interested .... his finger is bending towards his boots,  is he telling his colleague his shoes are too small

These "interviews"  always bring out the usual generic answers.   Might as well just copy and paste:

" what is needed is a clear and precise plan to incorporate a great response while always keeping in

mind the challenging times we live in.  Factors such as sustainability and the effect on the environment must be at the forefront of all discussions.   It is equally important that all parties involved make a concerted effort to combine their resources and work in unity.......etc etc etc

 

oh well,  guess why those guys in suits are being interviewed and not some tell it straight loser like

some Rumak here on thaivisa

 

 

Rumak, your not a loser, you tell it straight ..... not like him.  He went bla ..bla..Bla ...on and on .. and basically just could have said, we need tourism & watch the environment.

and another facing tough decisions ... QANTAS AUSTRALIA   BreakingNews>>>25.06.2020

Qantas has announced it will cut at least 6000 of its 29,000 workers and launch a $1.9 billion capital raising in response to the coronavirus.

The airlines said this morning the move was part of a three-year recovery plan to speed its recovery from the pandemic.

CEO Alan Joyce said the company entered the COVID-19 crisis in better shape than most airlines and had better prospects for recovery than most.

"But it will take years before international flying returns to what it was," he said.

The pandemic had caused a collapse of billions of dollars in revenue for the airline, he said.

Mr Joyce said the airline industry was facing its "biggest crisis" and Qantas had make "very difficult" responses.

"Many of the 6000 jobs losses we are announcing today are people who have spent decades here," he said.

it's not the weather that's a warning , it's the economies of the world that are more alarming .....

if all the worlds economies falter then folks have no jobs, no money, no food, no house, no nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciate the info. I was thinking of taking advantage of the soil only because they are doing the work right in front of the land. I dont really need any but extra never hurts.

What you describe sounds like wgat happens when they drain those pits they use for fish n seafood farming...but i think that soil is even more ladened with vitamin residue, chemicals and fish waste.

They have not started putting soil on the land so i have some time. I think i will get some tested at the provincial lab, they do it for free and give a full report.

Cheers for the input

that's a good idea, i was going to suggest you discuss with a soil expert but i wasn't real sure if there were any around, but the testing is even better and they may also be able to tell you their opinion.

I mean it may be ok to use as fill, I just wanted to mention what happens after the soil comes out.

thanks & good luck with it. let me know later.

wow ....  come to Thailand and get your free boat ride .....

that'll get the tourists here  .. NOT  !!      lol

Good luck!

disagree .....  it's the law that's the problem,  there doesn't seem to be a clear path or mechanism to recover funds even when the court issues a judgement in your favour.
