PHUKET:-- Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup has confirmed there is no ban on people exercising in public in Patong, but still urges everyone to venture out of their homes as little as possible.

 

“It would be better to exercise at home,” she told The Phuket News today.

 

Phuket Provincial Health Office (PPHO) Chief Thanit Sermkaew has already confirmed that people in Phuket can exercise outdoors if they wished, just as promoted by some public announcements issued by the Ministry of Public Health.

Anyone know about getting exercise in the ocean, but not entering from the beach?  Would be nice to have clarification on whether you can go kayaking, kite surfing, SUP, swimming etc from many places on the island that isn't a closed beach.

 

Last thing anyone needs is an overzealous official thinking that by putting a kayak in the water you are breaking the "beach closed" rule.

exercise builds immune strength...DO IT!...
