Popular Post Pilotman 19,656 Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 Has anyone got a map that is in English and based on a Google maps projection rather than the rather useless cartoon map posted earlier, that unless you read Thai and know Pattaya well, is not a whole lot of use. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
digbeth 879 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 apparently they are checking Thai workers for ID and letter from businesses within Pattaya for reason for them to be there, like manning the shops... residents should have ID showing Banglamung address... but the problem even for Thais is that not many Thais even with those with houses in the area actually move their address 'here' and how many of us actually have the Pink ID, I doubt they'll accept passport as prove that you're a 'local' Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Tony M 745 Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 I think this might only be in place to stop any exodus from Bangkok, and elsewhere, for the coming long (Songkran, cancelled) weekend. Possibly many Bangkokians and others were still looking forward to a few days at the beach. The timing of the closures seems about right. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nanaplaza666 1,004 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Since the anouncement on the news yesterday that there were only 39 infections recorded traffic in bkk has gone back to normal it seems . Traffic jams everywhere again , better keep the nr's up for a while because common sence is not a word in the thai dictionary . As soon as the nr's go down they will pick up life as if nothing happened and the nr's will go up faster then prayuts bankaccount , and that goes up fast believe me . 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Surely deeds to a property that you own with your name on it would suffice? Or the blue book with your name in it, then they just need to verify your name with passport/drivers license. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
