webfact Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 More Thai people have been travelling to the coastal town of Hua Hin, in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, since the partial easing of COVID-19 restrictions. The proposed reopening to foreign arrivals next month, however, should be postponed, said Vice President of Thai Hotels Association Udom Srimahachota. The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CSSA) will soon decide on the proposed reopening of the resort,more popular among Thai tourists than foreigners, under the “Hua Hin Recharge” scheme. With some lockdown measures eased in late August, hotels in Hua Hin, including those on Cha-am beach in Phetchaburi province, developed promotions to attract tourists and Mr. Udom expects their numbers to increase this week.

The virus is already here. Duh. No one ever said being vaccinated will prevent you from getting the C19 virus. Being vaccinated greatly reduces symptoms and keeps you out of the hospital. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I am hoping that these announcements about increasing volumes of tourists are stated after they review total hotel booking numbers for the week or something with a little bit of scientific fact behind it. But.....maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 70% of Thais are still waiting for one, and around 85% for the second one, that's the problem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Friday Thais flock to Cha Amm and Hua Hin, to populate the beaches and Jam the traffic, during these times I avoid Cha Amm , it will take you over 1 Hr to get from the main Rd to the beach. The beaches are usually packed until Sunday afternoon when they all flock back to BK, this phenomenon has been occurring for a few years now. So we will probably see an increase of Delta at these locations, It will be-- Delta by the Sea. However, we can not stay locked down forever, a new way of dealing with and treating this virus must emerge. Australia is about to unlock as they are not controlling covid with lockdowns, nor it seems is mass vaccination controlling infection from Delta. So what will be the new way???-- back to the drawing board, new treatment for those infected may emerge as the winner, something will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.....maybe not Bookings at the hotel my wife works have bounced back. Khao Takiab beach was packed last weekend with volleyball games, jet skis buzzing around and many people just walking along the beach. Car park was full. Some restaurants are doing a roaring trade, especially if they're happy to serve other than smoothies in their big cardboard cups. Gotta say the police seem pretty good. One time they "busted" a few of us at a place and suggested we close the door to be a little more discreet. Didn't ask for anything. This is a popular Chinese restaurant last Friday, and they don't even sell smoothies... Edited September 10, 2021 by Donga 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be on to something there. It's inevitable that there will be a massive outbreak of COVID later this year and it looks like they're going to allow a bunch of tourists in so they can blame it on the tourists.

I guess most Thais are happy to spend the day at the beach then drink in their villas at night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
