Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2440048]If I am reading the map correctly only 2 people in Pattaya have the virus and there are 4 places in and around Pattaya a person with the virus went to. [/QUOTE]The map is very pretty but the data it uses is badly lacking.

It shows 17 cases for Chonburi Province. As of yesterday (3-April) lunchtime there were 61 confirmed cases in Chonburi, so 44 confirmed cases are omitted from the map which is over 70%.

Of the 61 cases in the province 24 are in Banglamung, which is the district containing Pattaya City (source: Chonburi Provincial Public Health Office, widely reported).

The most recent analysis of the Banglamung cases that I have found is from 1-April, at which time there were 20 confirmed cases in the district, so the most recent 4 cases are not included. Sixteen of the 20 were Pattaya City, 2 in Nong Prue (which is vaguely what we term "The Dark Side" 1 each in Takhian Tia (inland area north of Nong Prue) and Huay Yai (inland area south of Nong Prue). (Source: Banglamung Public Health Department via Pattaya Mail).

It should be noted that cases are counted where they are found, so anyone who took part in the exodus when things started to be shut down and subsequently fell ill in another district or province will not be in the Banglamung numbers.

Apologies for any errors in transliteration, but I have used the (frequently flawed) Google Maps spelling to be consistent.

This might be too much information but it will show details of every case in Thailand. There is an English option at the bottom.

This is the same tracker that is woefully incomplete for Pattaya / Banglamung / Chonburi. Less than 30% of cases in the province are on it (see earlier post).

As another example, a quick look at Phuket shows only 8 cases on the tracker. As of 2-April there were 87 confirmed cases on the island (Bangkok Post). Or the greater Bangkok area with less than 400 on the map but over 1,000 confirmed cases reported.

Apologies for my previous water post. When I quickly read LBM's post I interpreted it as no water which is why I responded that my gogo girls would flip if they were unable to take a shower. I Line'd a few and am getting my responses now as they are waking up. So far 5 have said they have yet to experience any water shortage or problems. All but 1 reside in some of the newer and nicer condo developments in Central Pattaya. The final one lives in an older apartment building near Bongkoch 3(?) and 3rd Road and she also confirms she has had no issues.

Here is what is happening which is why locals outside of the areas you mentioned are complaining like in my neighborhood. Those who live in Condo / Hotel will most likely never feel the effects unless it gets worse many have reserve tanks that are filled when the City turns the water off cuts the flow to a drip that is when the managing personnel turns the pumps on doing so it starts to draw water from the reserve tanks. This is what I have at my house and apartment and if one doesn't pay attention the outflow is greater than the amount you get back due to turn off it becomes a problem like yesterday by the time I noticed both my tanks were empty.

When you start to run low and your output is greater I like the majority of hotels, Condos, even the small apartment your girls live mentioned many of tanks somewhere even underground. Start to call the water trucks, there are large ones the size of Gasoline rigs and then there are small neighborhood ones. If your timing is right your tenants never miss a beat. The problem right now these vendors are now not selling to the small-time guys like myself instead of saving it for large volume clients like your hotels and Condos the little guy suffers. I see large tankers in the morning heading into town more money to be made selling in high volume tankers instead to a guy like me who only need 4000 L comes in a small pick up truck.

Most Thais if you go to their rooms / bathroom will see medium-size rubber trash can fill with water this is the reserve that can last them for days. Like today, my tenants although the water seems not coming into my tanks it does come into my tenants' rooms but the flow is so slow but enough one or two who needs to shower it would take days for my tanks to fill which is why I need to call for supplies.

There is the shortest but as you know the tourist just doesn't have an idea, can you imagine with the Virus all of a sudden they say come now no water!

[QUOTE=LittleBigMan;2440205]As a member of his club make sure to order his newest video?[/QUOTE]Trying to find the order form.

Hotels and places that resemble hotels are to close down and employees are to stay at the hotels and not leave Chon Buri.

Some Beach Road girls now plying their trade in early afternoon. What is frustrating is seeing really good-looking girls strutting by but showing no interest whatsoever.

Fruit vendors have largely vanished. Will fruits produced in Thailand be left to rot from now on? Individual vendors should have been explicitly allowed IMO.

Restaurants are allowed to operate as take-aways. Customers may sit down and wait till their order is ready. Social distancing is wishy-washy.

This is boooooring. I spend much time learning Thai but I keep telling to myself "to what avail if Soi 6 never reopens"?

There are no people on Beach Road. Start with Soi Buakow and work your way toward Sukhumvit and you will see them. Beach Road is mostly tourist area. So with no tourists there, places are not going to be open and cart vendors are not going to waste their time there either. No need for Soi 6. There are still tons of chicks online to speak Thai with.

As noted by Mr. E, you need to go towards the Soi Baukhao area, there should be a number on 2nd behind Mikes, outside of the Avenue then you got the Soi that lead into Soi Baukhao, like Made in Thailand, across from soi 8, there is an area with a number of bars that lead to Soi Baukhao near the end on the left, also Soi Honey, Soi Pothole, cruised by Friday a number of small massage places pretending to be closed.

The closure order allows businesses and staff to claim the reliefs available from the Government, which they could not if they close voluntarily. Hotels may apply to stay open for existing guests. Chonburi are also obtaining a count of hotel guests and their checkout dates. My hotel spoke with me on Saturday to confirm that they will remain open (I think they are moving in guests from their other properties in town. I know at least 2 of their other properties have been mothballed).

I have seen no reports on here of people being thrown onto the streets, yet?

[QUOTE=GettingFedUp;2440736]I have seen no reports on here of people being thrown onto the streets, yet?[/QUOTE]I live in establishment part hotel part apartment and the reception report to immigration the names of the guests and told me its OK. Now according to my prediction Everything will be back to normal next month. The curve of new infections are getting down sharply. One thing I don't like is the ignorance of the population about social distancing. Shopping in Makro was a disaster as they never heard about keep distance. Foreigners in Pattaya is even worst.

Just entertained a girl from Thaifriendly. She says she's lucky to be staying with an aunt who only charges her for water and electricity. She says many "Walking street girls" (her own phrase) are now down to sleeping rough.

Regarding hotels guests not being thrown onto the streets, I think many guests bailed out in anticipation of closures. I took out a monthly condo rental when I saw the guests at my hotel dwindle to a handful.
