Popular Post webfact Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 The acting head of the Chonburi Tourist Business Association told the Thai media that he will be visiting with Thailand's tourism minister next week to discuss plans for "Pattaya Move On" - the latest buzzwords for the reopening of the resort to foreign tourism. Targets for the plan are mostly Asian including golfers and families and involve only a sealed route in Bang Lamung and Sattahip districts. It is hoped that up to 20,000 foreign tourists will visit each month from August 1st. But Thanet Supharothatrangsi will be taking a stark message to Pipat Ratchakitprakan - get 900,000 doses of vaccine or the next tourist high season will be October 2022 not this year. Thanet outlined his plan for the two Pattaya districts which will be broadly in line with the proposed Phuket Sandbox scheme due to start next month. He said he hoped that between 10,000 and 20,000 foreign tourists will come from August 1st. They will need to be in a "sealed area", stay in Pattaya for 14 days before going elsewhere and possibly have to quarantine for the first three days at one Pattaya hotel after a negative test. All tourists will have to have been vaccinated prior to arrival. He said the Asian targets were Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Target groups were students, people interested in fitness programs, golfers, families and retirees. Long haul targets included the UK, Germany, Russia, Scandinavia and the Netherlands including many countries in the Eastern bloc where families and holidaymakers were being wooed. But he noted that so far only 60,000 doses of vaccine had been administered in the area. He said that 900,000 doses were needed by July to vaccinate 450,000 people. If that is not done, he said, it could jeopardize this year's high season that is set to begin from October 1st this year. That would mean the next high season for Pattaya would not be until October 1st 2022. With the vaccine rollout stalling in Thailand amid a whole host of supply and production problems that eventuality for Pattaya must be a very real consideration, notes Thaivisa. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-15 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think it safe to predict no high season this year, and a dribble next year. That said , if all I had to do was flash my vaccination card , I'd book tomorrow. If Pattaya is closed for an entire another year, the area's high season my be devastated by its own economic devastation ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart12 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 OOOORRRR, they could use the safe and approved drug that is available to simply treat anyone that gets covid? In the USA, you can go on a "Jab crawl" poker run... where they are giving out free baby sitting, free beer, free lotto tickets, free liquor at the barber shop, free donuts, free fries, free Marijuana, and even free guns, FREE GUNS, DRUGS, N BOOZE!!! (all to entice lower income demographic). I guess cause 60% of population has said thanks but no thanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
