Hua Hin’s private sector has been asked to consider suspending any planned New Year’s Eve events as a precautionary measure to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and in particular the omicron variant of the virus.

 

According to an order released on Monday (Dec 27), the Provincial Governor Dr. Sathien Charoenruen, has asked for co-operation from the private sector throughout the province to consider suspending or reducing activities this New Year’s Eve.

 

In the order, the governor also announced that any events organised by the local municipality, government or public sector will be cancelled.

I imagine the response as being something along the lines of  'up yours we need the money as you've shut us down for 18 months already !'

Only yesterday Hua Hin boasted that it's hotels are virtually fully booked for the festive season... so I think it's a bit late?

If central government were to lockdown the country for the NY period then the Prachuap K governor would not need to ask his voters. I suggest he lobbies the PM.
