Pattaya hotels want to be closed so employees can claim state benefits

Hotels and tourism-related businesses in Pattaya want the Chon Buri provincial administration to order the temporary closure of all hotels in the town, so that their employees can claim unemployment benefit from the Social Security Fund.

 

This proposal was raised with Pattaya City Mayor Sonthaya Khunpluem at a meeting today. Pattaya is now deserted, since Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat and Samut Sakhon were declared COVID-19 Red Zones. Entry to and exit from these provinces now requires official authorization. These lockdown measures have severely impacted the hotel sector, with occupancy rates at almost zero.

 

Representatives of the hotels reportedly told the city mayor that, in the neighboring province of Chanthaburi, the governor has already ordered all hotels to close temporarily and they want a similar measure applied in Pattaya and other districts in Chon Buri.

The government want them to remain open so they don't have to pay a thing and let the hotels sort-out the finances.

It is either close them or give them a timelimit to close or Thailand is going to be even more screwed with more people sleeping on the streets or turning to crime.

 

It makes sense to allow businesses that have been making the social security payments to close so that their staff can get something.  If not there is going to be a lot of bankruptcy's.  Same with any business that is involved with tourism.

 

I am sure there is also some sort of assistance that businesses can get and that may help the economy that they are so worried about.

 

If they are worried about money make it a time limited offer you must close for 1 year.and open once your time is up.

Fake news the hotel owners are not asking this at all. Just another goose from a association that wants a free lunch. Nothing is closing just like the ASQ for tourists won't be removed either. Tell other employees find new work

What a bunch of <deleted>. My wife and her friends in the same business are heartbroken they have lost their jobs and own sense of independence and worth. Believe it or not there are some that actually want to work

Why is the Thai government pushing the responsibility of looking after Thai citizens during a national disaster, which is also a global pandemic, onto private businesses?  Ridiculous.
