Agusts Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 You guys are missing the point, it was closed to protect the fish, corona virus has devastating effect on marine life, it makes them all depressed.... lol ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Arsed Chinese? Ah, sorry, got it now. Defo a power thing where Thailand is concerned, unless of course that lot know something we don't.

Straight from an honest news feed expat in Phuket: Surin and Bang Tao beaches still closed - I personally went and checked at 8 a.m. this morning. Barriers still in place as before forbidding under penalty of heavy fines or jail for passing through any barrier and venturing onto the beach.

Tropposurfer Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 On another hydrological note: our condo pool is now open (Tuesday) has an order - governor generated, that we are allowed access for a maximum of 1 hour a day as a single person or cohabiting pairs at separate times to our condo private pool each day. We are required to sign, date, and allocated time of usage of the pool on a forma. We were all told that government officials will check these forms periodically to make sure residents comply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headgame Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Phuket beaches are all closed. Why? Who knows. During low season, hardly anyone at the beach anyway. Easy social distancing with zero tourists. Rumor that they will be opened by the end of this month. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyup Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Whoever keeps asking? They are closed! Period When they do open there will be an announcement to that effect Otherwise just wait. But BTW surf is very rough and I wouldn't recommend going in the sea WHEN they do open unless you are a very proficient swimmer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My condo in bkk has the same 1 hour limit but no sign in is required. gym is also open with 2 hour limit. Hand over room key when you go in and pick it up when you leave.

Agusts Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Now anyone who thinks closed space gyms are safer environment for not catching this nasty virus than beaches need their head examined... But they are all opened everywhere, not just in condos but private ones, that alone shows they have no clue ...!

Badrabbit Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 My favourite beach which had a few pigs roaming the waste ground behind(Catch beach club area) has now turned into a slum. hundreds upon hundreds of pigs now roam! what a disgrace to let this happen.

madmitch Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I think they might need to get the pest control people to clear the rats from the back of Karon Beach. There have always been a few but the lack of people has allowed them to multiply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
