You beat me to it.

Were they allowed to open during the first lock-down, I can't remember?

[darksidedog]

Very bad news. Numbers are up again to 250 nationwide, which is the worst number ever. I see things getting increasingly messy from here on in.

A functioning phone is necessary to trace and to contact

the people in case of infection, so it makes sense to keep the phone shops open

 

My concern is they will probably close the beach again

a very bad news as i am used to go here everyday

I am not a frequent user of the phone shops too

but seeing the number of phone shops always full

of thai customers i guess there is some demand

[thaiflyer1]

No doubt Lottery sellers will still be allowed to ply their trade with a dozen people crowded round  

[Jingthing]

Barbers?

I had to change my 5 year old phone just the other day as it was an Android 6 version. A number of Apps now need a newer version, especially banking apps. Although, having said that, I ordered via Lazada so had no need to visit a phone shop.

[Jingthing]

Is all this effective starting today?

To buy new phones and download the "cha-cha app" or how this thing is called.

[ChipButty]

I think Central Pattaya has closed

<deleted> about to get real. This will be a rough ride this time around

I'll guess - alcohol sales. Stock up if you can't live without it.

[Pilotman]

I would much rather that they did all this now, rather than later. The spread needs stopping, quickly.

Part of the plan is to avoid prople from Bangkok coming to Pattaya for party

be prepared for another control soon at the city enters,with only the residents allowed 

to go in, since yesterday they have already closed some of the U turns on Sukkumvith road

the check point will be probably coming back soon

[Pilotman]

Maybe all those farang idiots I see regularly in Big C, walking around without a mask over their faces, will start to conform.   Sticking it under your chin doesn't count.

Yes, I believe they were. Maybe for people to pay their bills.

Son: Dad, dad, there's a man at the door with a bill.

Dad: No son, it's a duck with a hat on.

Earlier it was to deter them coming  here to celebrate Songkran.

Might be more important for those employing foreign workers to bring them in legally.

Don't hold your breath

or on working girls without condoms, a lot of totally irresponsibles individuals here in Pattaya
