Tourists on Walking Street given hand sanitiser in bid to boost confidence among foreigners in Pattaya

Tourists visiting Pattaya’s famous Walking Street on Tuesday were given a free spray of hand sanitiser.

 

Officers from Pattaya’s Special Affairs Department were handing out the hand sanitizer between 7pm and 4am, according to a post on the Pattaya Law Enforcement Facebook page.

 

The measure is one of a number of moves undertaken by officials in Pattaya to help boost confidence amongst foreigners in the city regarding COVID-19.

 

 

On Sunday, parts of the city, including Walking Street and Bali Hai Pier were sprayed with disinfectant by teams of officers from the local municipality.

 

The official advice for foreigners in Thailand is to practice good hygiene by regular washing their hands, using an alcohol based hand sanitizer and wearing a face mask.

I always carry those very small bottles of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and 70% alcohol when on Sox 6.

 

and I don't drink it.

Coming out from the Go-Go bars or going in?

[Ian Nagle]

Honesty, I would avoid that area all together. Too many of the great  unwashed visit that street. I can't see them wanting to participate with the community  free hand outs, all things considered.

A bottle of lube when walking in, a bottle of sanitiser when heading out.

A wooden stake , some garlic and a book of prayer might be better protection against some of the creatures lurking along there ..

a bottle of sanitiser when 'heading out'. Is that in case you get 'withdrawal' symptoms?

A better chance of not catching aids from a Pattaya bargirl with no condom than going into any crowd in this looming worsening crisis.

The only difference is that Aids is dangerous

And so, catching a highly infectious virus from which there is no vaccine and a high death rate is not dangerous? Good on ya! Hope you have a will. Where there is a Will, there’s always a family fighting over it.

I wouldn't want anyone offering goo to me down there.

hydrochloric acid

Did they ask each foreigners if they were tourists? So I guess foreign expats and Thai weren't lucky to get a spray of hand sanitiser.

Put Tiger Balm on your Hampton, job done.

Real tourists must be thinking they have arrived to a madhouse.

False news - Pattaya police don't work nights in case they notice all the motor bikes without lights. 

More likely the unfortunate cops forced to stay out of bed would be selling the hand sanitiser.

The girls touch anybody for money they don't care. Good luck

Please clarify this high death rate of which you speak. 

[scubascuba3]

I'm giving walking street a swerve for a while, it's very popular with South Koreans and look what happened to them, but luckily no girls have come down with the virus..

[stuandjulie]

Hope this doesn't stop your d*** sneezing after a happy ending????????

It rages through a nursing home in Seattle and 11 of the 18 folks die from this virus. Good enough ? I mean, Govts are spending billions to contain it. Go figure!

This is the age group that most deaths have come from. 

Governments are spending money as they are worried about a mutation.

High death rate, ???????? More people die on the Thai roads every day than will die world wide from Corona, but no one is panicking when they drive. I haven't seen the death rate increased from 3%, and the vast majority never have to go to hospital or get seriously ill.

 

BTW, more people die from the common flue than have died so far from Corona. If it was "highly infectious" it'd be a pandemic last month- back when the WHO was saying it wasn't a problem.
