Covid testing in Pattaya, Restaurants and everywhere else....

[newnative]

     Partner and I just ate lunch at a chain restaurant at T21.  Did not have to present an ATK test.  It looked like some other restaurants were also not requiring it.

Because every other disease, flu, tuberculosis, whatever, all these diseases that no one cares about, they are all much more dangerous for the old and sick.

Who is saying they do not care about them?

Problem is idiot antivaxers are bed blocking!

Why all this ‘mass’ testing nearly into 2 years living with Covid, I don’t recall groups going round testing people last year ?

Insufficient tests and resources. And As we open up places and ease restrictions and curfews we need more testing

Restaurants are not medical clinics.....Its just dumb, dumb,dumb, that they should be testing people....

Went to a small bar in Rhompo last night. They wanted us to take ATK tests, only 350 baht each. So that's 700 baht before i have even sipped a beer. Told them where to put their test and walked out.

And yet I went to eat at a well known eatery on Soi Buakhao only yesterday and no mention was made of needing a test.... 

Tests cost about 95 baht now so sounds like a bit of a scam to me.... if they wanted customers they would even subsidize the ATK tests..

Silly policy if wanting customers.  What idiot pays an entrance fee to eat or shop.

We will get soon children visitors from the country side (Korat). Two very young, but one girl is 13 years old. I am not even sure she is vaccinated.

 

Would all / some need some sort of permission or certificate etc. to enter a restaurant in Pattaya ? (Vaccination Certificate, Tests of all sorts etc. ?)

 

In fact neither my wife nor me did visit a restaurant for a long time. All I know is that the restaurants in the Shopping Malls do not care (my wife told me).

Going along Beach Rd, 2nd Rd and Soi Buakhao this lunchtime and plenty people sat in bars, restaurants and cafes drinking beer. Were they tested first? I doubt it; I saw nothing to suggest testing before entering the premises.

I find it difficult to see how these new rules are going to be enforced. There isn't enough manpower nor the will.

And yet the Pattaya Police have audacity to ask the bar and restaurant owners to cough up extra "tea money" to be allowed to serve alcohol between 2 and 5 pm but then T I T, It's a shame this country doesn't have a proper ombudsman where you can report this shameful conduct to

The PM is always very receptive to suggestions........
