Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Eight major business and tourism associations in Pattaya stated today that they have met recently with the Minister of Tourism, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, and have stated that they want to be able to open to foreign tourists (and domestic tourists) in August and that vaccines must be prioritized for Pattaya. Mr. Boonanan Pattanasin, president of the Pattaya Business and Tourism Association, revealed the recent meetings and discussions to the local Pattaya press this morning. It was clear that city business leaders, approaching three months of closures that have shuttered the cities entertainment and tourism industry and crippled most other sectors, were stepping up pressure on leaders to deliver. In the past fifteen months, Pattaya, dependent on tourism for about 80% of their GDP, the 19th most visited city in the world in 2019, and highly reliant on the entertainment sector, has struggled heavily, perhaps only topped by Koh Samui and Phuket in terms of economic and infrastructure damage to their tourism industry.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thailand is a minimum of 6 months behind the UK. In the UK we are still in semi lockdown and travel banned. This guy needs to prepare for ATLEAST another year of this ridiculous situation, if not two. Personally I agree with him - open up to everyone now. It was reported 81 million jobs had been lost on Asia Pacific by December 2020 due to covid. So, we have to be looking at about 200 million jobs plus lost world wide due to covid. The total destruction of the world economy just does not add up for the amount of deaths 18 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post champers Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's a bit me, me, me. Many cities and provinces have valid claims for more vaccines but it seems that Bangkok and Phuket head the queue so everyone else must wait. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every province sells both. People can't survive on fear, panic, false promises and BS without assistance/support. They need income to buy a thing called food. It's time to reopen. Past time.

Popular Post Crusader Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2021 All for places re-opening, but the problem is that people just DO NOT FOLLOW set procedures for social distancing etc. After the last lockdown, when my local pub re-opened it was only a few days before all the "no-sitting" seats were being used, people were not checking temperature when going in (and no one checking this either) and not a lot of hand sanitiser being used. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chaihot Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2021 19 minutes ago, Crusader said: people were not checking temperature when going in According to the WHO: Temperature screening alone, at exit or entry, is not an effective way to stop international spread, since infected individuals may be in incubation period, may not express apparent symptoms early on in the course of the disease, or may dissimulate fever through the use of antipyretics; It is an outward "feel good" method of making it look like something is being done. Similar to not allowing NAIL CLIPPERS on airplanes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not including Phuket, Bangkok, Hua Hin, etc... probably more than 1%. What is irritating is Phuket seems to be well supported in its vaccination efforts, but news of the progress in Pattaya is limited, and I suspect suppressed, because it isn't happening to any great degree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to withhold , no stocks of vaccine.

I would guess 2 factors 1. Phuket is an island , easy to control 2. population size. Pattaya can not be sealed off, best they can do is limit movement to a point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
