Popular Post Rimmer Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2020 TAT believes tourists will return to Pattaya in May PATTAYA:--Call it optimism or wishful thinking, but Pattaya tourism officials believe things will get better for the industry in May. Pinnart Charoenpol, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Pattaya office, said March 13 that she believes the coronavirus pandemic crisis that is shutting down most of the world will ease enough that people tourists start returning to Thailand in May or June. She said TAT is working with Chonburi tour operators, the province’s Attractions Association, the Pattaya Business & Tourism Association and others to push family trips to Pattaya while schools are closed. Reality, however, suggests otherwise. Thailand on March 17 imposed closures of bars, pubs, massage parlors, tourist attractions and sporting events and is encouraging people to stay home and minimize social interaction during the Covid-19 crisis.

What about social distancing . First there will to be 0 infections for at least 14 days before you can even think about bringing tourists back .

RichardColeman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Amazing that with the virus about to explode in April in UK , with potential 0-80% income, that we are all going to book Thai holidays in May. I shoot my tenant if he didn't pay his rent and swaned off to Pattaya for a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 A report in the Business section of yesterday's Bangkok Post was about Chinese tourist from two provinces. They will be allowed to take holidays in April. At first these are expected to be only in China but trips abroad could be arranged for later on. The Chinese have approached TAT, so there is a demand from China. TAT are looking for quality tourists rather than larger numbers. Any future business is subject to there being no health concerns about visiting Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
