A five star hotel in Hua Hin will have its SHA+ certificate revoked if negligence was found to have played a role in the discovery of a COVID-19 outbreak amongst staff, health officials have warned.

 

The SHA and SHA Plus certification was created by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to help ensure COVID-19 preventative measures and help build confidence amongst Thai and foreign tourists who visit tourism related businesses such as hotels, restaurants and attractions.

 

The main condition businesses are required to meet in order to qualify for the SHA and SHA Plus certification is that 70% of a venue’s employees must have received a COVID-19 vaccination.

My man on the ground claims Centara. If this is true is a shame as it’s a great hotel.

That's not what it says on the comment on the article....how many 5 star hotels are there in Hua Hin?

 

I nearly needed an emergency hotel check in myself yesterday due to a power cut but it ended after about 5 or 6 hours so I didn't bother in the end, came close though....

and only 70% - what could go wrong 

 

meanwhile all customers wanting to stay or dine must be fully vaccinated 

 

All staff in all open venues should be fully vaccinated period 

 

How often are staff tested even, bet it's not as much or often as foreign tourists - just why is that - foreign tourists run the risk of being banged up if testing positive .............................. lunacy

It was the Intercontinental.

As apposed to 100% of tourists.

If it was the Intercontinental, what are the chances that it crossed the road to BluPort?

word on the street is they ran out of brown envelopes  ????

How does the "brown envelope" joke work in this instance ?

I cannot work out where the joke is

similar to thai bars that stay open later than others, they pay the cops....hence the hotel didnt pay the cops so they get shut down by "suggested reason"

 

but then again my comment may hurt the reputation of thai cops and this site......but im sure Im alone on my exps in LOS

From observation, the days of bars paying bribes to stay open late are long gone .

[Pravda]

From what I heard it was Centercontinental

Just now, Sticky Rice Balls said:

I'll invite you for a night out, when Im able to re-enter the LOS....hide your wallet in your sock prior......hope u like sangsom

There are some places that still stay open late , but they stay open without the Polices knowledge and you would risk getting arrested and being in the news if you risk it

My sources say your sources have sources that are wrong....

 

Yada, yada, yada......

Is it possible to NOT get the SHA Certificate?  It's like the 5 Star energy scheme for electrical appliances - everyone gets it.

Is 70% any use at all? you are at risk from the other 30%.  In fact you are at risk from 100% as even vaccinated people can transmit the virus.

Similar to hotels paying off the police to say a death at the hotel was suicide when in fact the death was caused by 'lowbalconyrailingitis'.

You're assuming that truth and logic have anything to do with authoritarian decisions made regarding Sars-cov-2.

According to Agoda, its (Intercon) in high demand and five bookings have been made today already. Surely people should have the right to know as an issue of public safety.
