Chonburi –

The Chonburi Public Relations Office today (June 1^st) has released an additional order around beaches changing the prior order around a prohibition of vendors. The prior total prohibition on beach vendors has been changed. The new text is below:

1. Activities that cause nuisances or disturbances or are contrary to the law are prohibited, like parties.
2. Activities that constitute a risky group or gathering that could spread Covid-19 are prohibited.
3. Drinking liquor or all kinds of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
4. For the sale of goods, food, beverages or any service in the area can continue by strictly adhering to the disease control measures prescribed by the Ministry of Public Health.

We have to stress that although this APPEARS to allow more activities on beaches this could vary greatly depending on local beach authorities, like has already happened with Pattaya Beach and Bangsaen (Bangsaen allows small family groups to sit together on the sand and walk, Pattaya Beach has not allowed this at all), and there was no mention of swimming.

We will update this article if further clarification is given.
