Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
The trouble was people were gathering in groups drinking and not doing the social distancing. Apparently easier to close the entire beach than confront the specific individuals which is strange given the beaches are not that busy.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Social distancing is starting to happen now and people are self policing it , poor excuse to close beaches as it's a good way to spend the day in these times, then again maybe nowadays the beaches would become to popular with many out of work
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
It's a hard choice to make , between thousands of people on the beach in virus killing sunshine and swimming in clean saltwater .
and those thousands of people locked up in apartments or wandering around in shopping centres.

https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-go ... tMq9Fmt6GYPHUKET: Patong has been “shut down” by order of the Phuket Governor, with all non-essential travel in or out of the tourism town denied in the hope of preventing a major outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus on the island.
The order came into effect at midnight (00:01am, Apr 5).
The only vehicles permitted through the checkpoints are those carrying necessary consumer goods and other items needed by public health and other officials in order to carry out their checks for the disease, Governor Phakaphong said.
Patong has fast become the epicentre of COVID-19 infections, with more than half the 109 cases of confirmed infections announced by local health officials being related to places or people in Patong, with most of those being related to the Bangla nightlife area.

UPDATE: PM vows to track down the errant passengers. Chaos at Suvarnabhumi – VIDEO
Sean Kelly Published 14 hours ago on April 4, 2020
UPDATE: PM orders yesterday’s BKK arrivals to report to state quarantine facilities, or be arrested.
The Thai PM Prayut Chan-o-cha has told 152 Thais who landed at Suvarnabhumi International Airport yesterday afternoon, and refused to enter the state-organised quarantine, to report themselves before 6pm tonight (Saturday) so they can start their 14 day supervised quarantine, or else.
A total of 158 Thai passengers – 103 from a Japan flight, 11 from Qatar and 44 from Singapore – arrived at the airport around 1pm on Friday. But only six of them agreed to be sent to pre-prepared locations that had been organised by government officials – a hotel in Bangkok and specially prepared facilities in Sattahip, south of Pattaya.
The remaining 152 refused to cooperate, saying they had not been informed about the situation in advance, demanding to be allowed to return to their homes.
A spokesperson say that “the government had their personal information and could track them down”, warning about legal action. He also urged people they meet in the meantime to self-isolate for 14 days.
A meeting late this morning of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration decided to track down the rest of the passengers and force them to go to the special quarantine hotel.
Of course, throughout all this debacle, and the rounding up of these errant passengers, more people will potentially be exposed to the virus if any of the passengers happened to be infected.
Many of the passengers protested vehemently that they had not been properly informed. The situation was made worse for some later arrivals when they weren’t allowed to leave the airport after 10pm, the start time of the new national curfew.
As a result of yesterday’s mess, the Civil Aviation Authority announced a few hours later a ban of all international passenger arrivals until Monday night to prevent further confusion and miscommunication. Meanwhile hundreds of foreigners, booked onto flights to return to their countries over the weekend and Monday, are again stranded because their flights can’t land. More than 3,500 people are thought to be affected, causing more headaches and stress for authorities, airlines, and the families and friends of the passengers.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Hundreds of Thai citizens refused mandatory Covid-19 quarantine orders at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport after returning from abroad last night. Flights from the US and Japan carrying Thai nationals landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport yesterday, as citizens were returning home on emergency flights to be with family during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Many were unaware of the strict government emergency measures introduced on Thursday demanding all arrivals to be quarantined for 14 days and having to submit government health checks. Arrivals who landed after the 10pm curfew were also prohibited them from leaving the airport. The typical means of returning home – taxis, buses, airport link – were all banned from picking up passengers and violators faced up to two years in prison if they left the airport.
The new rules erupted into chaos in the arrivals area near the baggage claim. Some passengers, according to Thai Media Agency, allegedly tried to run past airport security and health care workers.
Passengers who expected to return home were confronted by officers who told them they would need to go to a quarantine facility for 14 days. An officer said, “taking orders from the government and the rules must be adhered to for the safety of the public”.
Thailand currently bans non-residents from entering the country under the current emergency situation, but Thai nationals are allowed to return if they have a letter from the Embassy and a ‘ fit to fly ‘ certificate before boarding.
With regard to the 14 day quarantine on arrival, PM Prayut Chan-o-cha said, “Related agencies will coordinate with Thai embassies to ensure all Thais returning home will be quarantined and get proper medical checks.”
Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman of the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said the new measures started this week and would continue until April 15.

It's just silly. The more public spaces you close, the more difficult social distancing becomes....

fucking crazy as its easy to practice 2 meters distancing when there less thna 100 people on a 2 kms beach:-)
The reason was, dam tourists where buying beer an such and congregating on the beach drinking so they fucked it for everyone..
As airport is closing here the 10th and hotels are closing, there going to be 0000 tourist so, Hopefully will reopen the beaches

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
Just been out to the supermarkets in the car followed by a drive round Central Pattaya and Jomtien, a totally surreal emptiness to the entire place that I would never have imagined I'd ever see. I was 1 of only 5 customers in one and barely many more in the other.
I look at all the business locked up and wonder how many will actually reopen when allowed to do so and of those that do how many will survive a few more months after that given the likely lack of significant tourist numbers to sustain them.
