Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2022 Business operators have complained over allegedly fake SHA+ certificates issued from Pattaya City, charging expensive fees for the certifications which ended up being, according to officials from other jurisdictions inspecting local businesses, fake and improper. Pattaya City, however, says there was never such a program in place and is investigating. SHA+, or Safety and Health Administration, is a program in place to primarily provide a checklist and certification for businesses to meet Covid-19 certifications and restrictions, which is essential for many to open. About 20 business operators in Pattaya went to the Pattaya City Hall yesterday (March 8th). They met with the Pattaya City Deputy Mayor Wuttisak Ruemkitkan with what they said was proof of payments for the certificates. Multiple press accompanied the group who had been making a wave on social media prior to the meeting. Business operators stated in a joint statement, “There were individuals who claimed to be officials from Pattaya City who contacted us. The officials said they can quickly issue SHA+ (Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration) certificates. We had to pay 3,000 to 45,000 baht. However, if we registered through the “normal” system it could take weeks, especially at this time in December and January due to a large backlog. We were told these were legitimate SHA+ certificates and agreed to pay the cost, as without these certificates we were not allowed to open our venues and could not afford to wait weeks for the “regular” process to take place in the busiest time of the year.” Currently, TPN media notes, SHA+, or Thai Stop Covid Plus certificates are needed for former bars/nightclubs/entertainment venues to legally reopen as converted restaurants, but the application process can be complex at times. Legally, bars and entertainment venues are still closed under normal operating policy nationally in Thailand due to Covid-19 measures in place since April of 2021. The venues had just been given permission to become temporary “restaurants” in December of 2021, with no date given for legal reopening for their livelihoods as bars or nightlife.

Paul Henry Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 What a farce! Bars can open as restaurants but not as bars. I am sure Covid and the clients are protected from spread and infection by the fact that a bar serves food. By some Thai magic food will stop any spread of the disease and keep the staff and clients safe. "PURE MAGIC" You get your free amulet when you pay your bill. About time this Government got real and moved into the twenty first century and forgot about their back pockets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I doubt there is any great difference between what the real certifications and fake certifications actually achieve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real ones maybe... even that is surprising as one would expect a legitimate certification would require a visit from officials to do an inspection. As usual it was simply a money grab.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
