Well not if coming from Rayong or further... but those residing in the Pattaya area should be permitted to go shopping without any special documentation. This needs to be made clear.

But I did see a checkpoint the other night in Baan Amphur, across from Phoenix GC road. Where it always is for NYE and Songkran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickBradford Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 2 hours ago, tinca tinca said: SO WHAT documentation IS required?? Last I saw is: 1) Mor Chana app installed 2) Written reason to travel 3) Written approval from a local official of your travel plans On top of that, you will be subject to temperature tests on the way out of the province. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there this morning - I was going the other way. But not in place when I returned about an hour or 2 ago. I don't understand why there as hardly a provincial border and majority of traffic will be local? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Is it district or province! The announcement was province I read Chon Buri is pretty large, it runs just outside of Bang Na all the way to Sattahip? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a check point on Sukhumvit right almost opposite Banglamung (Chonburi) police station, so anyone who enters will have to pass that check point. The Chonburi border is about 60 km north of that border. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joinaman Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 wonder how many of the locals will be bypassing these checkpoints on the back roads They all did it here when we had lockdowns and road checks, just skirt round it on a back road and on your way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm wondering about the checkpoints as well. Supposedly we are allowed to travel within the province, but if they've got checkpoints set up at the police station in Bang Lamung, that means we can't even get to Laem Chabang (without it being some kind of essential or emergency reason) despite that being well within the "provincial" boundaries. Chon Buri is quite large so it would be nice to know where we can, or can't, go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to be more sensible if they were on main highways at provincial borders but I hear rumours they are near cities (perhaps closer to the base of operations of the police manning them). That would seem silly as they cannot know who intends to cross into another province and who is going to Tesco.

Mason45 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hi there, has anyone got any ideas when the Chonburi checkpoints will cease as I need to do a 90 days report in 6 weeks time. I know I should've reported a change of address but I was only going to where I am now for a short stay but her indoors change the plans without notice, which has left me in limbo. I may check out a permission to travel document at the local office. By the way where I am is not to far from the Bangkok - Pattaya motorway, 75 kms from Pattaya. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
