So it means that any tourists, domestic or international, can order a glass of wine in any restaurant in Hua Hin, on october 1 ?

 

Of course not. It won't happen.

Dumb as dumb can get.

Another Phuket in the making, he's left a mess behind him there and now moving on to new targets.

RiP Hua Hin.

Hospitals, if Phuket is anything to go by they'll need to be open and ready.

   With the way things are going, maybe add a 'not' after 'definitely'.  And, does the tourism minister make these decisions?

As a Pranburi resident:

The bad news is that Huahin is re-opening.

But the bad news is that people are becoming more lax about masks and distancing.

Glad I live outside the city surrounded by pineapple fields.
