webfact Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Chonburi open again! Tourists hail beautiful and clean Bangsaen beach Picture: Manager Manager published an upbeat story with many pictures after Chonburi opened its doors again following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions yesterday. Down at Bangsaen Beach they reported that it was lively with tourists in their opening comments - then gave a more sober reflection on the reality. In truth their snapshots showed that it still looked pretty quiet but hey, the area could do with some feel good factor after being in the red zone lockdown this year. Picture: Manager Traders selling somtam (the Thai food of papaya salad), BBQ chicken and seafood at the very Thai style resort, were only doing a moderate trade, as were vendors humping their wares on the beach. But at least it was an improvement over the last month - traders reported they had got virtually no income and it had been a desperate time. Picture: Manager At least now there was some hope on the horizon. As far as the tourists went - they were impressed with the cleanliness and natural beauty of the surroundings. Funny what an absence of people can do!

Popular Post bkk6060 Posted February 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2021 The place use to be no good. But, I took a trip there recently and it was pretty nice. Clean water and sand. Nice for a one day/night trip some great sea food restaurants on the beach with live music. The 2 girls I took seemed to love it. ???? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it will be back to the filthy state is used to be when enough people have left their rubbish there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better take those shots and make bill boards and advertisement for all the Chinese tourist that are supposed to be coming? Whatever it won't look like that when the tourist actually be allowed to come back.

Megasin1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Rubbish and Bangsaen go together like a horse and carriage and a post I can comment on as I have arrived before there is more than 1 page of comments which now invokes a nuisance pop up advert on Thaivisa every time you try and read the next page. As if there aren't enough adverts already !! Perhaps 2 new names should be thought of Bangsaen belch (despite the short lived cleanliness I won't be returning again) and Thaiskipvisa whereby readers can now be forgiven by the members for not reading all the previous posts before commenting ????

Thai authorities have decided they are a receptacle for terrorist bombs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of an invisible Pattaya cop; one of a taxi with a working meter (tho' he was from Bangkok). Looking for one of a farang who owns his own house 100%.
