snoop1130 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Beaches in Chonburi, including Pattaya, have been given the greenlight to reopen with immediate effect. Beachgoers can sit in small groups, rent deck chairs and umbrellas, eat, swim and exercise but large gatherings and drinking alcohol remains off limits. The order to reopen beaches was signed off by Chonburi Governor Pakarathorn Thianchai on Tuesday. The news comes as Chonburi reported 29 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, its lowest number of reported cases in more than one month. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post champers Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 Good news and a small step back to a degree of normality. My only concern is whether the opening up attracts people from Bangkok and surrounding provinces and how that might affect infection rates. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 Great. Of course tomorrow is a holiday and many will take Friday off. So, all those infected Bangkonians can come for a nice holiday at the Chonburi beaches, eat at the restaurants and walk through the malls. Brilliant! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Didn't I read something like the opposite in another thread this morning from Chonburi governor? Maybe my brain takes damage from to much flip/flop ???? Seeing is believing. Waiting for videos/pictures tomorrow. Booze and smoke: not my problem but I know that some will simply quit renting a deck chair and not even interested to walk the beach. Friend in Jomtien (one km away) hasn't sat in a deck chair since ages. Edited June 2, 2021 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What determines small groups and large gatherings? Very grey statement to make. 10 Thais could be a family group, 10 foreigners could be a large gathering? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Once again, everyone is being tarred with the same brush...because of the small minority who have a beer or two then act like complete dorks - us resposible chaps are not permitted to do something we have been doing since way back when.

James105 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Quote Beachgoers can sit in small groups, rent deck chairs and umbrellas, eat, swim and exercise but large gatherings and drinking alcohol remains off limits. Sigh, so rather than allowing people to have a drink in the great outdoors where approximately zero people actually catch the virus, if people want to have a drink together they will go back to a small, unventilated condo and do it where the virus can easily spread. If people are going to do something anyway (which they will), why not just allow them to do it in the safest way possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just looking to take my family to the beach for a day or weekend, to get away from being in our Bangkok condo, with parks, playgrounds and pools closed. Alcohol is not really a factor.
