Popular Post webfact Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 By Adam Judd Thailand- The following article is a quick “update” on the current status of Pattaya, Thailand in regards to tourism from international visitors. We get asked this question many, many, many times a day through private messages and e-mails so wanted to take the time to make a quick reference article for our overseas readers. For our local readers, this article will be nothing new to you. It is intended for people that only want to ask about Pattaya being open. This was most recently updated on July 6th, 2021. Q. Is Pattaya currently open to vaccinated foreign tourists without strict in-room quarantine like Phuket or Samui is about to be? A. No. With that basic question out of the way, here are some more in-depth answers Q. Can vaccinated foreign tourists travel to Pattaya after they do their fourteen days in Samui/Phangan/Koh Tao or Phuket? A. Yes, however, you might not want to right now if you are looking for entertainment and/or nightlife. There is NO quarantine or domestic travel requirements in Chonburi except for migrant workers from nearby countries. Keep reading. Q. What is it currently like in Pattaya? A. Pattaya is part of the Chonburi province, which is still getting, unfortunately, hundreds of cases of Covid-19 a day, mostly from factories, markets, and worker communities. This makes it a red province, although not dark-red like Bangkok. The biggest difference is dine-in at restaurants is open in Chonburi (as of press time) as are gyms, beaches, and Ramayana water park. Q. Is Pattaya’s world-famous nightlife open? A. No. And there is no sign of this happening anytime soon, unfortunately. Q. Can you drink alcohol at restaurants at least? You can in Phuket A. No. Legally, anyways. Red provinces ban drinking alcohol at restaurants. Additionally, Chonburi also currently bans all alcohol sales even from 7-11 from 8:00-4:00 A.M. nightly. Q. Can I come to Pattaya then and throw a private house party or beach party as you can in Phuket right now? A. No. Chonburi has ordered from 8:00-4:00 A.M. nightly that any gatherings around drinking with more than one person, even at your own home, is illegal and a violation of the emergency decree. They are REALLY trying to stop house drinking and parties here. This rule used to be in effect in Phuket and Surat Thani, is now in effect here as they are hoping to bring down cases. (Even though most have nothing to do with alcohol.)

And they are actually not permitted to sell alcohol until 11am under previous restrictions. So don't go rushing there at 4am. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 My cousin left Pattaya to get to his specialist Doctor in Canada. He says that so much of Pattaya is like a ghost town for sale. Very depressing and he doubts that it will look different until some time next Summer. The idea of TAT and the Thai government trying to open the country to international tourism right now is also not good. Until 75 to 80 percent of the whole population of Thailand has had their 2 vaccinations, the risk is too high. As my cousin says, even the Thais who are trying to get their AZ shots are having troubles to get them. He does hope that there will be some more choices before the end of this year, such as Pfizer or even Moderna or J & J, but he thinks you have to be either connected to the government, the military in a high rank, or health worker, to get any of those shots. Some of the Thais or expats who are willing to pay the nearly 4000 baht may get lucky after October, if there are not more delays, or if the government actually gets the vaccines brought to Thailand. Again Good Luck to all of you Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I can’t think of a better place to wait out a lockdown than Pattaya. I am fully vaccinated, so if things go south, I will volunteer to do shopping for my friends who are housebound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I am double vaccinated and I have tested negative 4 times in 16 days, why can I not visit....yes sarcasm to be noted in my post. We should be in a general provincial lockdown right about now, it would assist in slowing the spread, but of course with anything Thailand advanced notice is given and people can move about and travel making the spread even worse.
