JohnBZ Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) What is going on? I searched the news online and could not seem to find a definite answer? Did read it somewhere that says most are not open. Does anyone know for sure? Serious why it is not crystal clear? A lot of people come to Thailand for the beaches. Thanks Edited May 31, 2020 by JohnBZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 Pattaya and the surrounding beaches are open. Looking forward to swimming tomorrow before the ocean gets filled with garbage, urine, and feces when the tourists return next month. Hope others are out there. No Speedos please. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Petchaburi governor thinks it breeds in sea water, but not sand. That's why he opened his province's beaches for walking, but not swimming in. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 And I still find no update on Phuket (not too interesting at the moment, as travel restrictions are hesitantly lifted). Ko Samui beaches never closed (as far as I know). Definitely open now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend at Bang Saray, 20 miles south of south Pattaya, just said the beach is not open there yet. He saw people walking on the beach but not swimming. What is the official announcement from Chon Buri governor or government on the beach matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69xl Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's up to the Provincial Governors to open beaches or not. It's allowed by the government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko Samui beaches never closed (as far as I know). Definitely open now. Phuket west coast beaches are still closed as of this morning. Went to my local Surin and later Kamala and both were closed. Surfers not being stopped from surfing but I'm not risking taking my board down as a falang until its officially open again. Theres's a lot more traffic on main road through Surin today too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianezy0 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Just head into the ocean in the shallows, knock the top of a cool Chang, light up a smoke, relax and enjoy! Send us the video after 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
