I don't know why everyone at this point thinks that vaccinations would do any better especially Sinovac while data from highly vaxxed Singapore shows otherwise. 

Not to mention other countries that use other vaxxenes.

Other countries using other vaccines (not the Chinese junk) have very good experiences with vaccines. 

 

I don't know why you at this point think different about this.

 

It's not about whether you get sick or not. The point is that you don't have to go to the hospital and you don't die. If that is the criterion, then the vaccinations work fine.

Wow, what a shocker...how could it be?! I had no idea Pattaya would have problem reopening! .

It was always a fantasy to open first of September, even October is iffy at best. That said clearly they intend to open as soon as possible, meaning this year.

Pattaya reopen will not happen in my opinion and even if it did I still wouldn't be able to get there from Australia.

Even if by some miracle Pattaya was to reopen the bars would still remain closed, no alcohol in restaurants and many other businesses closed.

Who would really want to go there?

They need to focus on reopening. For 1-2 months then focus on tourist returns. You can't have both. Reopen malls, bars, massage and beach and dine in. It's too much focus on tourist return instead of a stable opening. Once the soft reopening happens people from all over thailand will come so let's see what the covid cases look like after a month or two
