we want  to be in the frontline with extra vaccines for the tourists. We a re a tourist destination so we have to be vaccinated. Tourist like it to sit on their hotelrooms with a bottle of water

I really hope this kind of news is filtering down to the foreign tourist agencies around the world as this would have a profound influence on choice of holiday destination for people wanting a holiday

Yep.

 

I would certainly choose a country that had taken appropriate measures to control Covid, over one that had taken a cavalier approach.

I got an impression things remain pretty much the same bar the hawkers being allowed. Although do we now have a clear situation allowing exercising?

[Hippos]

As always its not really clear. I would think same household keeping some distance should be ok? Masks as usual.

 

 

2. Activities that constitute a risky group or gathering that could spread Covid-19 are prohibited.

If Vietnam achieves "herd immunity" - via vaccinations - before Pattaya. Then coastal Vietnam towns could becomes the "New Sin Cities".

[Cricky]

I see some of the Jomtien Beach chair vendors setting up this morning.

 

It would be nice if the condominium pools could reopen with social distancing.

Can you swim in any of chonburi are beaches. Jomtein etc?

[Paul Kernell]

I would rather see restrictions on the markets where hundreds cram in every evening.

I'm sure that if I went for a walk along Pattaya beach right now, my risk of being whistled back by police would be high. The other day I was sitting bare-chested on the curb on beach road  facing the setting sun. A police car stopped on beach road behind me and broadcasted something in Thai I only knew was directed at me after a Thai man kindly waved me back onto the pavement and explained I was welcome to sit on the curb facing traffic on beach road but not facing the beach. Thank you very much, I was interested in a vitamin D, not a carbon monoxide boost.

 

Because police keep implementing their own rules, nobody knows what is allowed or not with Pattaya beach so it stays deserted most of the time.

 

To be fair from what I've read about "democracies", Thailand is not the only place where police have been on a power trip on the back of this pandemics.

Maybe thought you could better collect vitamin D on your back rather than front. Your health is of utmost importance!(Kidding!) Police don't do diddly squat here in Jomtien

Hasn't Vietnam just gone back into lockdown?

[rcuthbert]

Wongamat Beach has no enforced restrictions.

[Stargeezr]

Yes with these great rules from Chonburi, it makes me feel like going anywhere but Thailand for my next

vacation.  I may actually take my first trip to Vietnam, this coming November. I can always hop over to Thailand

for a month without a needed visa, and go back to Vietnam once or twice during my stay there. Just to see

my Thai relatives and brave friends who managed to get to Thailand for their Winter break. Have to start my planning, so I am glad

that I also have Vietnamese relatives who can give me some guidance for my stay in their home country.

It could be a plan.  Being trapped here in Bangkok is getting claustrophobic.  It will be good if a beach trip can be back on.

Sorry, but it's the perfect weekend place for us to get out of the city and get some sea air.  Always has been and always will be.   But it ain't due to its "beauty"!
