thailandsgreat 73 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I am in Pattaya since some time. Lockdown is becoming gradually more severe. Also affecting relations with locals, they seem less used to meet farlang (maybe). How is Chiang Rai now? I always experienced CR as open and relaxed. Is there any "normal life" left during lockdown. Are there any people around cafes, night market, JetYod st., central plaza etc. Edited January 7 by thailandsgreat Link to post Share on other sites
sceadugenga 3,045 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don't go into town at night much but there's seems to be plenty of people around the malls and such during the day. Cafes went down a bit last week but are picking up again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Rotweiler 507 Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 According to how I read the OP question, it was "How severe is the lockdown in Chiang Rai?" There is no lockdown in Chiang Rai - severe or otherwise. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
statman78 310 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Everything is pretty much open but quiet. No lock down. Look at the the following link. https://www.tatnews.org/2021/01/tat-update-summary-of-provincial-covid-19-control-measures-as-of-6-january-2021/ It lists the restrictions in Chiang Rai Edited January 9 by statman78 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thailandsgreat 73 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Thanks guys. Sorry late reply. Pattaya is like a ghost town. My hotel is like "The Shining". OK, a little exaggerated but not by much. Might be worth trying a flight to C.R. then. I always liked that place. I guess flights are no problem as long as you wear your mask.

Lacessit 22,774 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Not AFAIK. I shop, swim, play golf, have massages. This is the Ministry of Public Health website, one can find information which is 2-3 days behind. I don't know what the rules are for someone flying into Chiang Rai airport from a red zone province. https://covid19.ddc.moph.go.th/en Link to post Share on other sites
thailandsgreat 73 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 You were right about domestic travel control. To leave Pattaya City by bus you must first have an exit permit from the police. I don't know what the requirements are. My trip to C.R. is still on but I may have to postpone slightly. I wonder if anyone knows the precise rules. Sometimes it is better not to ask too much. Maybe a taxi out of Pattaya to Don Meuang and see what happens there. You could lose an air ticket. Does anyone know more about restrictions flying Bangkok - C.R.? Link to post Share on other sites
statman78 310 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Here are the restrictions I could find. This was as of January 11. "+A ban on any gatherings that would pose a risk of disease transmission. + Entertainment businesses and venues can open only until 24.00 Hrs. daily. + Interprovincial travel is discouraged. + Arrivals from the highly controlled and controlled areas are required to register with the Chiang Rai Sawasdee and Thai Chana contact tracing applications and enter a 14-day self-quarantine or local quarantine as advised by the local public health office.

" I appreciate! It seems a trip would be possible, but one should refrain from "extensive travel". If asked about the reason for the trip, "just need a change" is not a strong reply. I wonder what could be a good motive for travel? I don't want to mention the few people that still may remember me there. Edited January 14 by thailandsgreat Link to post Share on other sites
