I believe "fun parks" would cover Harborland. What I find a bit weird is the 1 pot per 1 person suki rule. You can be locked up with the family all month, but can't eat the same suki ? 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoop1130 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 CCSA to draw up a list of business and leisure activities which can resume People eat their lunch in a food hall implementing social distancing after the Thai government relaxed measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, in Bangkok on May 5, 2020. (Photo by Mladen ANTONOV / AFP) Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is likely to decide on Friday on a full list of business and leisure activities which will be allowed to resume, as part of the second phase of lockdown relaxations, Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin said today. He said that, for the time being, the issue remains open, but he hinted at the retail, wholesale and leisure activities that are likely to be allowed to resume on Sunday. They include shopping malls, community malls, with the exception of movie theatres, bowling alleys, fitness clubs, amusement parks and conference halls located in malls, beauty salons offering hair-curling and dyeing services as well as nail services, eateries in office buildings, beauty clinics, weight loss clinics, out-door team sport events, but without spectators, botanical gardens, galleries and Thai foot massage parlours. Dr. Taweesin said that business operators will be given time to prepare their premises before they reopen. Regarding compliance with regulations, by business and leisure activities reopened last week, he said checks of about 18,000 venues show only 2.37% in violation and 30.49% not fully observing regulations. Regarding the tracing application, which has been used successfully in South Korea, China and Taiwan, the CCSA spokesman said that the smartphone system works like a check-in system at hotels, where guests are asked to give their names and contact numbers. He claimed that the tracing system should not be viewed as an intrusion by the state into the right to privacy of individuals, but a system that benefits the public and business operators in the wake of the pandemic.

thainet Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Phil McCaverty said: They fall into the same category as my pool which is in a gated estate. Sorry you are wrong.. see below article from government today. _____________________________________________________________________________ At a press conference in Bangkok today held by the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, the English language spokesman for the CCSA, Mr. Natapanu Nopakun, specifically said that condo and public pools would remain closed. The statement, which can be found at about 11 minutes and 40 seconds below, states that at this time the Public Health Ministry and CCSA will keep pools closed. https://web.facebook.com/thailandprd/videos/659672738146149/ The reasoning given is due to health related concerns and inability to limit number of people at condominium pools. Chonburi area officials with the Chonburi Communicable Disease Committee have previously addressed pools also, stating that they were concerned people would use them, including condo pools, as a gathering location to socialize, drink and eat around pools versus pure exercise. Under the current Emergency Decree laws to control the potential spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus, gatherings for the purpose of socializing, especially over drinks, is forbidden. As a result at this time the CCSA confirmed today that pools will be not be approved to be lifted in the next phase, Sunday May 17th, and will stay closed at least until the end of May and the third phase, expected to start in June, based on the severity of the Covid-19 Coronavirus situation in Thailand.

City Hall have no authority to countermand CCSA regulations (only the Governor of Chonburi province, and then only in certain things), so as per the CCSA orders posted above, all pools (except home pools) are to be closed until further notice. this includes communal Condo and all Housing estates (gated or not). So if your Estate is getting away with it, then good luck, but it is in violation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhudda image shops in Thailand are actually very busy at times..it is a big business in thailand. Shops can get very crowded with guys bargaining and also auctions for various images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
