Popular Post webfact Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 All Pattaya entertainment venues to close for 14 days File photo All entertainment venues in Pattaya have been ordered to close from 18 - 31 March in a bid to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19. The order affects all bars, beer bars, pubs, go-go bars, massage parlours, sports venues and movie theatres. Restaurants will remain, as will shopping malls, supermarkets and convenience stores such as 7-Eleven. Screening measures will also be stepped up on public transport, including on the ferry service between Pattaya and Koh Larn. Officials have also ordered a ‘Big Clean’ where large parts of the city will be disinfected from Wednesday. The news comes after government officials on Tuesday announced that all entertainment venues in Bangkok will also close until the end of the month. All schools and educational facilities have also been ordered to close. However, officials have stressed the move is not a ‘lockdown’, and have cautioned against using the term. While people are still free to travel and go about their daily business, people are urged to be proactive with regards to self hygiene, which includes regularly washing hands, using hand sanitizer, wearing a face mask and maintaining a distance of at least 1 metre between others, especially those who are coughing or sneezing. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-03-18 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Picture: Siamchon News 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blue Farang Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'm glad they've done this. With the Government ordering closure of entertainment venues in Bangkok, Pattaya had to follow suit. If they didn't, imagine the exodus from the capital down to us at the weekend! This would have guaranteed to spread the virus here. 18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 Its a fine line between bars that sell some food and restaurants that have a bar. I think it will end up with all the die-hards drinking in the closest restaurant that sells beer. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swissie Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 Surely, health officials have recommended a 4 to 6 week "closure" (like everywhere else). But the TAT could not possibly go with that. A 2 week "closure" is about as useful as closing the barn door after the horse has bolted out of the barn before. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just extend it every 2 weeks, its called marketing, announce a 2 week closure (then extend it) and it doesn't sound as bad. 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact thing they have tried to prevent by cancelling songkran. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar on Soi 9, near the Soi Buakao , (near the Skaw Beach Hotel and Tree Town), stays open all night until around 10 am. Have seen the characters in brown drive past this place, with bar music, karaoke and such clearly seen and heard from the street. I imagine it will continue.
