webfact Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 File photo for reference only The chief of the Pattaya Tourism Business Association said the private sector must not just be treated as an unruly child - they are struggling to survive and need help. Bunanan Pattanasin said that very little assistance has been forthcoming from the Thai government. Foremost among the concerns at the moment are the promised 900,000 doses of vaccine. So far Pattaya has received a paltry 70,000 doses. If Pattaya was really part of the government and TAT plans to reopen when the pandemic subsides then this needs to be addressed as a matter of priority. Bunanan was in scathing as well as frustrated mood as he said after two lockdowns the tourism industry has received no substantive help to address concerns in the once thriving tourism mecca. He called for clear government policy rather than just imposing lockdowns then letting Pattaya get on with the consequences by themselves. He said that Pattaya was not just a stubborn child but must struggle to find a way to survive. His comments came after the Tourism Authority of Thailand suggested a slowdown to reopening plans in ten provinces on September 1st in light of the continued dire state of the pandemic. Bunanan said that he and others in Pattaya were pressing on with putting in place Standard Operation Procedures to present to the Chonburi Authorities thence TAT and CCSA (Covid steering committee in Thailand). "We can't stop preparing", he said. "We have to be ready if and when we can reopen. "If that proves not to be September 1st then so be it. But our plans will still stay relevant for a future date when we can reopen". -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-28 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thai officialdom and private sector (hospitals) expects expats to go to Bang Sue rather than insist that Vaccines are brought to Pattaya. Apart from the fact they can't go to Bang Sue as it is now appointment only (Bangkok and immediately surrounding areas) the French got jabbed with J & J at Bangkok Pattaya without any fuss. Pattaya is in a deep red zone so should get the same deal as Bangkok. I missed Pattaya getting 70000 vaccines and havnt heard of any expat getting one. If the remaining 1m turn up where is the Regional Health Authorities App for booking appointments? I hope City Hall is not as devious as Central Government in diverting vaccine profits?

The hospital that is your 'primary care giver' is your first point of contact as they have your medical records and history and contact details. BPH contacted me this week and invited me in two days later for a jab. There was about a hundred other foreigners there also, maybe more. I believe Thais with pre existing conditions are also receiving AZ here in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kynikoi Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Just a thought Pattaya is a pretty rogue city, Chonburi. Like Phuket it kinda does as it pleases. Maybe this is sort of it's reckoning. Unlike Phuket it lacks money and real power to make things happen. Government interested in Pattaya tourists not the local farang scrum sitting on beach road in nylon gym shorts, singlet and 40b flip flops trying to pick a ST up from some tragic looking prostitute.

They will get to them I expect.... but they have to start somewhere, and people they have records and contact details for is a good starting point. It isn't all about you and have you made any effort to contact them? Are they supposed to look you up in the phone book? Have you perhaps gone to the hospital and registered as a patient.

But I think that was Moderna focused. I just want to get jabbed, but do not think traveling to Bangkok City makes sense. I just did the registering with that place in Sri Racha, but another post here made that look unlikely to bear fruit.

"Good of your condo to be proactive...." yes , but to simple accurate for the higher echelons apparently ..... sergeants know always the real situation and solution on the battle field.... but the generals don't agree with the low people as always....
