Thunder26 1330 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 What about beaches? How do they lift restrictions if the the beaches are not allowed? It’s still of a helluva restriction plus the alcohol ban. Link to post Share on other sites
Susco 7390 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 22 minutes ago, Kerryd said: I tried to (internet) translate the original article and I don't see anything about any of the previous restrictions being lifted. The only thing changing is the barricades coming down on the 5th. (And what changes where previously announced as taking place on the 1st of the month.) So the other things, like drinking on the beach (or buying alcohol) are still in place. I guess most people would have figured out from reading the OP, that this has only to do with the blockades being lifted, and that the nation wide booze ban is done by the government in Bangkok and not subject to a decision by the mayor Thai media Bangkok Biz News reported that Pattaya's mayor Sontaya Khunpluem said today that Pattaya's lockdown will come to an end on May 4th.

It’s still of a helluva restriction plus the alcohol ban. Yeah, they need to find a new headline writer. This is what it should have said: Pattaya: ineffective checkpoints set to end - some very minor restrictions lifted from May 5th; most impediments to a normal life will remain.
