Social distancing comes to Pattaya Beach

Beach Chairs are placed at a safe distance from each other as ordered by the authorities

 

PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s beaches aren’t closed totally yet, but beach umbrella vendors are taking no chances, spacing their lounge chairs far apart to prevent transmission of Covid-19.

 

With so few tourists in town, giving up precious sand to place fewer beach chairs is less of a problem. Vendors are hoping that those who do go for some sun will be reassured by the social-distancing precaution.

 

Somchai Jainukul, chairman of the Beach Umbrella Association of Pattaya and Wong Amat, said the Chonburi Disease Control Department mandated that chairs be spaced 1-2 meters apart. The notice was sent to 118 members across the city.

 

Vendors also are supplying hand-sanitizing gel to customers and thoroughly cleaning the canvas beds once customers leave.

Staying 6' feet apart is sure to make getting a massage more difficult...

We've seen it doesn't mean they're respecting it!
