Phuket beaches CLOSED

[sallecc]

Not sure was this necessary... Was in Kata beach today, only few people there, distanced 10-20 meters apart... Not sure about Patong though...

Up until this news I would rather have been on Phuket than at home in UK, but now? No way!

 

Really don't see the point, unless it's to cut down on traffic/people moving around.

With the curfew in place, totally unnecessary.

Yes. Exactly like i said : we are in a competition.

 

All those so called "officials" will take insane decisions in order to outdo their collegues.

 

Zealots seeking "virtue".

 

The worst specie. And the most dangereous.

 

Alas public sector is not the only one... Tesco has decided a new rule : only 15 customers at any given time in their "express" stores ! [source Richard Barrow]

 

Why, how ? !

 

As peasants, and victims of a huge social experiment, we will never know.

 

We can only assume : a crazy CEO, infected not by the virus but by insane "experts" and of course inane "PR" managers, has decided that he must seek "virtue".

 

Over science. Over business. Over common sense.

 

Brace for even more insanity in the coming weeks and... months.

 

It's only the beginning...

No more beach running in the morning which are great for my health.

Gov you made the wrong decision.

Time for a quick uturn.

 

Life is a beach!

... did they barricade the beaches, with barbed wire beachchair walls? 

 

or an armed sandcastle...

[phuketrichard]

Just had a look  at Kamala, if you did not read thaivisa or go online, u'd not know the beach is closed,

No signs, people out in the water, kayaking, walking along the nearly empty beach..

Cant see them stopping anyone

[sallecc]

Not everyone got the memo ????

(south end of Kata beach, now)

[sallecc]

... and then he showed up... game over ????

 

[Agusts]

So are they stopping people to walk on the promenade of the beach too, not on the sand but payment of the road along the beach... !? 

 

It's totally insane and unnecessary,  but I saw a group of young farang drinking and partying together on the beach and in the water yesterday, like nothing was up, so that <deleted> off the authorities, they should just have sensible laws against that , and police go and send them packing, rather than closing the whole beach... !!! If I go swim alone in the water who do I infect,  the fish....!? ????????
