Popular Post webfact Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2021 By Paphamon Arayasukawat CHONBURI (NNT) - Pattaya City now aims to reopen Koh Larn off the coast of Chonburi province for international tourism in the near future, before extending the opening to other parts of the city, in line with the government’s 120-day country reopening goal. The Mayor of Pattaya Sontaya Khunpluem said today the city is in favor of the government’s 120-day country reopening goal. As a key tourism and economic city, the mayor said Pattaya has been making preparations and an economic and tourism recovery plan, starting with a tourism reopening pilot in Koh Larn off Pattaya’s coast. To make this ambition possible, the city has launched a vaccination drive for businesses owners and workers on the island, with about 70% of them now vaccinated. Pattaya City aims to make Koh Larn a ‘green zone’ for tourism, with the beauty of attractions and hospitable accommodation attracting visitors. Mr Sontaya said the city will need to achieve a balance between the economic restart and public health, while a revival of tourism activities will start first with domestic tourists before the country’s reopening for international visitors in the future. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-06-28 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pattjock Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 So international tourists on koh Larn before they will be allowed in Pattaya. Are they going to build an international airport on koh Larn or just allow visitors from international cruise ships? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaThai Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 All of this with vacine shortage, and lack of equal vaccination of whos here. The numbers are still rising (whats reported) and the Delta strain is heree. Many have had only one dose, which as far as Delta strain goes is like not having any dose. No way it can work without a compatible vaccine against the nee strain and people getting two doses of it, and the proper time elapsed for it to be effective. Its just not going to work on Thai time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news report that there are about 35,000 Australians waiting to return to the country and that quarantine places are very limited, from an old place for prisoners Australia has not evolved much it seems to me.

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 Koh Larn is literally 5 ks long and 2 wide, 5.6 square kilometres, no hospital, no immigration, limited crowded transportation. But then again, I see they have used the word "green" in the announcement, that should make everything ok. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
