I am not going to bother asking about details, since this idea isn’t going anywhere.

I already go ( again started last week ) 2 times a week .. 

im puzzled as to how ‘ international’ arrivals will get there … fly to BKK , coached to Bali Hai .. somehow smuggled onto their own individual ferry’s 

then on arrival ( at either Pier ) bussed to their little hotels ? 
will the ‘ piers ‘ be partitioned off for the standard person living in Pattaya and have to board another ferry   ( like me ) ? 

Unbelievable, they're in the middle of a potential public health catastrophe and all they can do is come up with nonsense like this! What will it take to wake the idiot politicians in this country from their wet dreams about tourist dollars, 50,000 new cases and 2,000 deaths a day, as the UK was suffering not so long ago? Forget this foreign tourist drivel and focus on vaccinating everyone who wants it ASAP, for goodness sake!

4 ferries and Koh Larn is full - it's the size of a stamp

Maybe that's the plan ? All 500 international tourist who arrive in Thailand will stay there (where I am not sure, I have spent 1 day there, 2 would be enough for me), take a few photos to show how full it is ? ???? profit !!!

I really wish our public servants in administrative government positions would focus on obtaining decent vaccines and then making sure that all those residing in Thailand receive the needed vaccinations as quickly and efficiently as possible.  No one will want to visit Thailand until that is done.

You could recreate one of Clint Eastwoods most famous movies? 

 

 

They really need an organized plan. If they are going to reopen Pattaya, they need to reach 70% vaccination rates in Issan first.

This what I have read before, now maybe the number is changed

What is open there please?  I'm in Pats and a day out might be nice - if I can persuade my wife to get on a boat, she's not a fan at all.

Sea plane from Phuket......

This is great news - just do it, ignore mutterings from gov't sources, they don't have a clue.  Make it a rallying cry - 'just do it!'

I really wish they would publish exact details of where, and when, they suddenly acquired all these Vaccines to Inoculate 70 % of all Business Owners, and Workers on the island.

I assume only with one shot.

Do they plan to build an international airport on Ko Larn before the reopening? Or will tourists need to take one of those mysterious "sealed routes" to get there?

Nah they'll let them fly into Bangkok then use some means of transport to Pattaya...

Given it's been happening since ALQ started without any problems, not a lot.

There wont be many tourists from Australia where you have to get permission from the govt to leave the country then spend more than $3000 on hotel quarantine when you get back ....

So back to being a penal colony. History repeats itself.....????

This Gov needs to vaccinate  most of their populace and  then repair damages to tourists areas in Phuket/ Pattaya, no one wants to visit slums.  Plus in phuketif they would want to leave after quarantene say to Bangkok  all bars are closed, retaurants only have take away , malls close by 9 PM, no clubs open or large gatherings alowed. Why come?

The only foreseeable drawback is all prospective tourists must be qualified parachutists as there is no airport on Koh Larn ..................LOL 

 

No need for a stinking airport.      They can  just be dropped in the water off the beach.????????

Were you playing as you posted that?

"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."

 

Err, ahem . . . what about the "others"?  I'm sure it's just bad reporting but there are "others" that aren't "business owners and workers" -- ex-pats, spouses of workers, and, of course, the "others" that don't pay taxes or are officially employed!
