SiSePuede419 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This is worldwide. Every country in the world has it. Just because Thailand hasn't locked down the country yet doesn't mean it won't. It's just a matter of time. I'd recommend staying home, stop drinking, eat soup, take lots of Vitamin C, do yoga from YouTube, watch the news, eat leafy greens, oranges, take Vit D, B vitamins, get lots of sleep, exercise by walking around close to home. Get healthy, stay healthy. ???????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would've thought that.....???? I was sat in Nida bar yesterday afternoon on Soi Bukhao and absolutely packed as many bars in the area closed. Police turned up shortly after I left, a bit before 4pm. My friend said he was in Nida the night before and the Marquee which had been open suddenly closed and everyone ran out and across the street. Going to get worse before it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tropo Posted March 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 I can confirm that entertainment in Pattaya has shut down completely. I rode around town at 11:30 last night (Friday) and it is dark. Walking Street is dark. Beer bars are closed. For someone who has lived in Pattaya since 2005, this was surreal experience. Restaurants were still open. The malls are still open. Get out there and experience the joy of riding or driving around deserted streets in Pattaya while you can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did give that a thought. I was riding late, from 9pm until midnight, and didn't see any checkpoints, but I can imagine the police are getting really desperate for cash in hand and that foreigners on bikes will be targeted.

Finspin Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I’ve been in Pattaya for 4 days, lockdown conditions were inposed the following day. Was put into pub crawl by police closing down the bar I’d just entered that first night. Restaurants serving alcohol have now been told to stop serving beer. Some establishments are ignoring the new rules. They are becoming harder to find. i like to have a normal massage every day. Can’t now, all closed down. I’ve found somewhere after much searching for a beer and good company , but I’m not telling . Had I expected the current situation to occur, I would have cancelled my trip.. I’m here now and will try to make the best of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the latest infection updates from around the world. The most extreme example comes out of Italy with 1 person dying every 4 minutes and the rest of Europe is on a similar trajectory. In Iran, it's one person dying every 10 minutes. This has just begun. It was not long ago that they witnessed the first human to human infection. You won't be able to party in bars in Pattaya anytime soon. Of particular note are the US statistics. Confirmed cases were in the hundreds a few weeks ago, and now they've topped 20,000 confirmed cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontang Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I would go...but would hate to see my regular eating spots closed...Been washing my hands as always, and avoiding transit crowds, but not any sightings of coughing, sick people here in my Thai neighborhood. Was out last night on the River, and while a little solemn, the partying carried on. A lot of the Thais are outdoor types, and/or they get sick of the small apartments, and dont like to be told what to do..so they are gonna come out..almost in rebellion, and I think you will start seeing more of that in the US, too. Even in the moderate winter places, like virginia, Spring Fever is real.. Edited March 21, 2020 by moontang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
