When we were registering at Cha Am hospital this morning, there was an elderly Thai man who said he was from that community and was booking his vaccination - I hope he had already been tested for Covid and found negative!!

Hope you kept your distances and wore 2 masks!!

Hua Hin's reopening set for Oct 1

PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN: The seaside resort town of Hua Hin will be reopened to foreign tourists on Oct 1 it was announced on Wednesday, even as more Covid-19 infections were reported in the province - most linked to a pineapple canning factory.

The much-awaited reopening plan was announced by provincial governor Prompiriya Kitnuson.

He also announced there were 71 new Covid-19 cases diagnosed on Tuesday.

He said 54 were found by active case finding among employees at the Dole pineapple canning factory.

The province had now accumulated 3,658 Covid cases, of which 969 were still under treatment and 11 had died.

Of the province's 1,540 beds arranged for Covid patients at main and field hospitals, 972 were occupied and 568 still available.

Mr Prompiriya said the province planned to reopen Hua Hin, under the slogan "Hua Hin Recharge", on Oct 1 to fully vaccinated foreign tourists, without quarantine.

In the lead up to the opening, the province aimed to vaccinate 100% of workers in the tourism and services sector and 70% of the general population of Hua Hin Municipality by Sept 30, Mr Prompiriya said.

At present, about 8% of the general population had been inoculated with vaccines provided by the government and the private sector.

Hua Hin Municipality had ordered 50,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine for people in its area.

A map outlining "sealed routes" for tourists was being drawn up.

The governor said Hua Hin expected about 1.2 billion baht in revenue to circulate in the fourth quarter (October-December) following the reopening, and about 89,000 workers would have jobs again.

These is the new must have item selling everywhere here. Pulse Oxygen meters, apparently so you can check you don't have covid.

I must hand it to them, there are some smart business people out their tapping into the #1 selling incentive - fear.

As if the self diagnosing hypochondriacs need another gadet.

They are AUD$25 online and come in a range of colours. Might as well buy a few to match your outfit, then you can wear it when you go out.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Regarding the Dole Factory. I read a report in His Hin Today about an accident between a pick up and an elephant on July 15th.

The pick up was "transporting 8 workers form the Dole Fruit processing factory late at night"

WTF ???????

I don't expect an answer to this . These patients will already have been recorded as stats elsewhere, so aren't we double counting by adding them to PKK's stats as well? It also makes PKK look worse than it actually is i.e. 36 is still more than we'd like to see, but it is much better than the 50 being shown against us.
