Pattaya city officials give survival bags to unemployed musicians who continue to push for reopening of Pattaya’s entertainment and nightlife sector

Pattaya City officials have given 55 sets of survival bags to musicians who are still out of work during the Covid -19 crisis.

 

The president of the Pattaya Music Association Mr. Banjong Bantoonprayuk had previously filed a request with Pattaya City to help members of the association. The members are musicians who used to work in entertainment venues in Pattaya which are now closed and have been since early April of this year, with no direct end in sight to the mandated Covid-19 closures. Nearly all the musicians in the association are still unemployed, noted Banjong.

 

TPN media notes that restaurants are allowed to have musicians and entertainment with rules, however, according to Banjong, most restaurants are not hiring either as alcohol sales, even at restaurants, remain banned in Pattaya which as a result is leading to restaurant owners deciding having musicians is not cost-effective until the alcohol ban is lifted.

Might as well give body bags instead if they don't open things up soon.

55 bags of essentials or whatever after over 7 months of unemployment! That is hardly impressive and does not warrant the fanfare presented!

Whoever said "less is more" was lying.

Such understated compassion is overwhelming.
