webfact Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Pattaya: Take two! Color coded lockdown set to restart on Wednesday Picture: Pattaya Covid-19 Pattaya - the former bustling Thai resort taht experienced a disaster of a lockdown last week as traffic snarled the city - has now had a rethink. They will go into lockdown on Wednesday at 3 pm instead. This time they have a plan and this time they hope it will work. One of the main things is that everyone expand the photocopies of their documentation to full A4 size. This will speed things up. So long as it is readable. Yesterday they already practiced putting the cones out at 8 checkpoints on Sukhumvit Road. Today they plan a few more traffic tests in readiness for midweek. Graphic: Pattaya Covid-19 Wednesday is D-Day - or what some observers are calling D-T Day - Double Take Day. It's a color coded plan. Graphic: Pattaya Covid-19 Most vehicles will be using the Yellow Lanes. Make sure you have your IDs, house documents or other ID blown up to A4 size if possible. Leave it on the dash where it is easy to read from the outside. A Fast Track lane like having a special pass for the motorway is also in the offing. Motorcyclists should use the Orange Lane - Grab and Line riders delivering important pizzas can use those along with other bikers. The pink lanes are a bit like the "just visiting" sections around the jail on a Monopoly board. They are for people passing who will not be turning into Pattaya from Sukhumvit Road. Using Route 36 was suggested. All the checkpoints will be strictly monitored, said a Pattaya Covid-19 post on Facebook. The eight checkpoints are as follows: Opposite Maryvit School Pattaya, Meuang Jumlong, North, Central and South intersections, Thepprasit intersection, Wat Bun Kanchana intersection and the Ayakorn Intersection.

aldriglikvid Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Will the city be in a lockdown from 3pm everyday or should I read that these checkpoint start from that day at 3pm? Sorry for the confusing question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 From 3pm Wednesday until whenever they decide to lift it is my take, that said hopefully it will last more than an hour this time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftpjtm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 After reading the full article and looking at all the graphics I absolutely don't understand how this is supposed to work. Any English translation of the documents? They're back to blocking Sukhumvit itself rather than the roads leading into the city? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' Which lane will I need to be in if my pizza is not important? There is no mention about KFC/ Burgerking etc..... Cant believe they have had days to work this out and this is the best they can do?

Guderian Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Are the small white rectangles supposed to be the checkpoints? If so, why are they only on the southbound side of Sukhumvit? Will there be no checks on people heading north? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the map every checkpoint is right before a U-turn, which I think has a purpose. If they let you go ahead, who's gonna stop you from taking the next u-turn?

Popular Post decca60 Posted April 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 Looking at this plan and supposing I got it right (not obvious), they forgot an important thing. There are very few gas stations inside the perimeter. Most of them are on Suk. I can already see the queues on Nua, Tephrasit and Thai where the inside stations are located !!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it does. 1 hour ago, Susco said: If they let you go ahead, who's gonna stop you from taking the next u-turn? Nobody. You may have your choice of u-turns. Up 2 U: it's Pattaya. If at the first you're told you can't enter the city, just tell the officer: "Please, sir, I have nothing to do so I'd like to be checked again at the next u-turn. I love you guys." They'll always let you go ahead--straight. Whether you're qualified to enter our beloved city is the issue they're attempting to address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the copies being fraught with doctored amendments... suitably made up to suit whatever goal the driver/rider aims to achieve.
