webfact Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Image composite: Thaivisa They said that Hua Hin was safe for Songkran travel - safe anytime - but after an outbreak of Covid-19 in the resort people are cancelling in droves, reported Thai media. Rungrot Sileuangsawat - chief of the Prachuap Khirikhan tourism business association - reported that despite all preventative measures being taken 30% of bookings at hotels - principally families - had been cancelled at Songkran already. Local journalist Kulsawek Sawekwannakorn reported that thirty people had tested positive in Hua Hin and more were expected. He showed the "timelines" of cases 28-30. Case 28 is a female language teacher aged 40 who had been at the Maya Pub. Case 29 is a 38 year old "mae baan" (housewife or maid) who had taken her child to Yaem Sa-At School. She also went to Chill Zone in Soi 88. Case 30 was a 32 year old man who is an online salesman who had also been at Maya Pub. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-09 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say "makes sense ......not", but it only makes sense if you have common sense and concern for your fellow beings. With low levels of common sense together with the me, me me attitude it makes perfect sense for Thais not to cancel 99% 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardColeman Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm confused, wasn't it only yesterday they were saying 70% occupancy and no signs of cancellations , and then only 24 hours later 30% are cancelled ? If that continues they'll be lucky to have 5% occupancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame them. You'd have to me mad (as a foreigner) to risk quarantine/hospital at your own expense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hua Hin's clean air is what has me visit the place rather than smoky North Thailand, most of my visits. I do like the beach at times as well. I hope that some of the guest houses and hotel do survive this pandemic, so I will have a place to stay when I go in the future. Just waiting for my 2nd shot, and then will check the situation out in November to see how the vaccines are going in Thailand. Good luck to all.

Cry like babies to open up, yet are the first to screw-up when allowed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
