Popular Post ricklev Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I'm sure the update info is somewhere..... Anyway, I live in Bangkok and was thinking of coming to Pattaya for a few days. Is that still possible? is some kind of registration needed? Is the bus from Ekamai running? Thanks for any info! (I had my first jab of AstroZeneca two weeks ago, which I think means I can go to Phuket on 1 July.) I was just looking at Booking.com for a room at The Base in Pattaya tomorrow and one of the places had this warning: "In accordance with government guidelines to minimise transmission of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), this property can only accept bookings from essential workers/permitted travellers, during dates where such guidelines exist. Reasonable evidence must be provided on arrival. If it isn't provided, your booking will be cancelled on arrival."

Popular Post champers Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 You can travel and plenty do, especially at weekend. Many hotels are open but many condos are not taking short term guests. Hard Rock, MYTT, A-One are among those open. There are many people in Pattaya fearful of visitors from Bangkok because they see them as bringing Covid to the city. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's required I guess we'll have to. But currently I don't think it is. People travel between Bangkok and Chonburi every day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach front area, Central mall was very busy this weekend with Bangkokians, and that was before the new orders came into effect, so yes we can expect huge droves of Bangkokians during the weekends now (as long as Chonburi stays open). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been the case for about a month, since the beaches and restaurants re-opened. I go to the beach and it is easy enough to stay away from other people. The alternative is just stay in my condo all day which would drive me nuts. Everyone has a personal choice as to how they look after themselves until the General says otherwise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that you take care about that. Some posters here seem to have been driven to nuts already. As if the virus lingers in Bangkok air and everyone coming is spreading it. Paranoia seems to take over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will wear masks and social-distance as much as possible, but after nearly 3 months of being "locked down" in our condo doing online learning, we need a break. There are just as likely to be superspreaders in Pattaya. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
