rxpharm Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Thailand pass is still required, what has changed is the PCR test on arrival and before flying - that has been scrapped. If the situation with new Covid 19 cases continues to improve the Thailand pass may be scrapped in June or so. What is required now is an application to the Thailand pass with proof of vaccination, and Covid 19 insurance of at least 10,000 Baht coverage. You need to have the Thailand pass QR code printed out, with proof of insurance (would be a good idea to have a copy of your Covid 19 vaccination too), in order to board the plane that will take you to Bkk. After June, this may stop if the Thailand pass is scrapped entirely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 An entertainment venue owner on Pattaya Walking Street has petitioned to extend the legal closing hours for entertainment venues to 4:00 a.m. to align with the official nightlife reopening on June 1st. Currently, bars, nightlife, and entertainment venues are open as “converted restaurants” but will legally once again become bars on June 1st in Pattaya and other tourism provinces. Mrs. Amporn Kaewsang, the owner of an entertainment venue on Walking Street and a prominent member of the Walking Street Business Association, told local media today, May 28th, that she was grateful for Thailand’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration’s (CCSA) approval of a legal reopening of entertainment businesses on June 1st after three years of enforced closure. Mrs. Amporn said that the number of visitors at Walking Street was significantly increasing, especially Indian tourists whom she anticipated accounted for almost 30% of the tourists on Walking Street, followed by European tourists. However, Mrs. Amporn expressed concern about the current legal closing hours, which she said did not correspond to the tourist’s behavior who usually came out late at night. According to Amporn, many tourists start their evening out around 10:00-11:00 P.M. The right closing hours should be around 4 a.m., Mrs. Amporn stated. The current legal closing time is midnight, notes TPN media. Before Covid-19, Pattaya had a legal closing time of 1:00-3:00 A.M. depending on the entertainment zone. However, those special extended times fell under Pattaya’s special administrative zone status, which is currently suspended under the emergency decree still in place to control Covid-19. The emergency decree was just extended for another two months, until the end of July. This means that any hours extension in Pattaya would, for now, need CCSA approval. If the emergency decree is lifted, hours would become a local mayor and governor’s decision. https://thepattayanews.com/2022/05/28/walking-street-entertainment-venue-owner-petitions-for-4-a-m-legal-closing-time-to-align-with-official- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 With 3 new (or moved) ladyboy venues opening soon should be good for punters who like variety. On December 15th, bars in some areas of Pattaya will legally be able to open until 4AM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 High season seems to be kicking in. There seems to be a significantdifference between the beginning of the month and now. My observations include my perception of traffic, a local bar/restaurant, where i watch NFL replays, night markets where I eat, and how many massages my better half has. Each venue has a different ethnic mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Bars and clubs in Pattaya are set to celebrate the New Year with extended operating hours until 6 AM on January 1st, 2024, following the recent decision of the Thai Cabinet. On Tuesday, November 28th, the Thai Cabinet officially approved the extension of the operating hours for entertainment establishments located in Bangkok, Phuket, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui, aiming to stimulate tourism and the economy. As of press time, Pattaya City officials had not made a final decision where the extended operating hours would apply to or if the extended New Year’s hours would only be certain zones and areas, such as Walking Street, versus the entire city. https://thepattayanews.com/2023/11/30/pattaya-entertainment-sector-set-to-celebrate-new-year-overnight-until-6-am/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
