Closure of Pattaya set to begin on Thursday 9 April

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.

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'

A driving license will have you address.

 

Also your TM30 receipt will have your address.

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.

And still, in March, 2020, there were well over 30,000 tourist arrivals to Thailand, most from China....

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 .

I suppose/hope supply from outside Pattaya will still be allowed.

Probably haven't thought that far ahead,besides another post said cases of corona are going down,sounds like someone is speaking with forked tongue.

Definitely a lock in.....100s and 100s of foreigners crammed into queues down at immigration over last 3 weeks....and then traveling back to their to their homes/ hotels scattered all over Pattaya.......absolute lunacy on at an unprecedented level.

 

 

 

Which immigration are good at!

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.

Yeah, all these selfish Darksiders moaning about not being able to get to Big C Extra or Makro, but what about us poor Brightsiders cut off from our supplies of bargain cheese and home-made Yorkshire puddings in Siamburi's? It's all me, me, me with some people, lol!
