Well okay, but for they of us who not read Thai where is this places? I understand the words Angle station (However no idea what or where it is)! If anyone can explain then kudos to them

The places are in this map. Click on view map legend to see a list of places. Mostly in Thai, some using English names. Green = clean, red crossbar = virus ridden. It seems to be getting updated daily (ish).

BB, I know you walk daily around Kao Tao. There's a red crossbar has appeared over the 'Memory Cafe'.

Be careful.

[Big Boy]

Thank you.

At times of heightened alert I make sure I don't stop, don't touch and avoid contact with everybody. When it is more relaxed, I will normally have a coffee in Remember Cafe.

Memory Cafe has actually been very quiet for a few days when I've gone past, although there were quite a few taking photos there this morning.

My google maps did show the locations but now does not when Zi click on the link. Has this happened to anyone else.

[Big Boy]

No, I've just checked out Memory Cafe, and it was fine.

[HHTel]

I was looking on the google maps link from HHinner. It does appear that it's updated as the 'Red Cross' near Sport Villa has now changed to green. Memory House Cafe, though, is still Red.
Maybe the map isn't as up to date as we think.

Also, there is now a Red Circle on Hua Na Market which wasn't there earlier.

Sorry, maybe I should have quoted Gregjam. When I said it was fine, I was referring to the fact the links were working.

[HHTel]

No problem, BB. It's not the first time when a post has been wrongly interpreted.

Anyway, take care.

My wife called MooWanna & they were furious that they were orange listed. The woman said, there have been no cases from there. So, who knows how accurate this map is or how honest the proprietors are? It's all a crap shoot.
I see that Index is green but Villa, which occupies the same building is orange. What is the sound of one hand clapping?

I don't think it's all about cases on site. More about timeline. So patient's timeline possibly mentioned going there.

Moowanna isn't exactly the best example of a shop following Covid-19 preventative guidelines either.

Hua Hin hotspot highlights Covid's club explosion
Covid-19 transmissions in Hua Hin have showcased the threat the virus poses: a single case can multiply into an exponentially expanding outbreak, forcing people across the country to scramble for tests and beds in hospitals.

Prachuap Khiri Khan has registered 193 infections since the beginning of this month -- 142 of them in Hua Hin district -- and the outbreak is belived to have started with one individual.

The 26-year-old woman, who told health officials that she worked as a public relations officer at Krystal Club, left Bangkok with her boyfriend to visit to her mother in the resort city on March 30. Showing no symptoms, she did not realise she was carrying the coronavirus with her.

The night of her arrival in Hua Hin, she and seven friends and relatives went to Maya Exclusive Pub. The following day, March 31, she developed a high fever.

After she was told on April 1 that her friends at the high-end workplace in Thong Lor had tested positive, the PR representative went to a private hospital in Hua Hin to be tested. On April 3, she was confirmed to have contracted Covid-19.

The following day, April 4, the woman was admitted to Hua Hin Hospital -- but by that time, health investigators said, the virus was on the rampage. A total of 141 people, including her boyfriend, were infected in Hua Hin and 52 more southward throughout the province: Pran Buri, Sam Roi Yot, Kui Buri, Muang Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thap Sakae and Bang Saphan districts.

A chart shown by the Public Health Ministry on Monday indicated the superspreading event was the woman's visit to Maya on the night of March 30.

Department of Disease Control director-general Opas Karnkawinpong on Monday commended officials in Hua Hin for their quick decision to sanitise all places that might be harbouring traces of the virus that apparently began its journey at Krystal.

The ministry is highlighting the Hua Hin case because it believes pubs are the new ground zero for Covid-19 in Thailand. According to an official count, at least 137 entertainment venues in at least 15 provinces are are recent breeding grounds for the virus. And the outbreak that emerged from Krystal and Emerald clubs in Thong Lor and jitterbugged its way across the country is particularly worrying because it is the UK strain that can spread 1.7 times faster than the original, according to Chulalongkorn University virologist Yong Poovorwan.

Actually listed on the initial map were 2 pork shops and a beef shop (maybe more). At least one of the pork shops has now turned green, indicating some sort of cleansing action has taken place. It got me wondering, how do you cleanse a shop selling raw meat? Everything I've seen to date shows bodies in haz suits walking around spraying everything with Covid killing chemicals. Does this mean the stocks were destroyed?

Pub owner faces charges as cases soar
Local authorities on Monday filed a complaint with the police against a pub owner whose venue is blamed for the latest spike in Covid-19 cases in Hua Hin district.

Hua Hin deputy district chief Montri Manichpong and assistant public health officer Janewit Plisak filed a complaint with Hua Hin police, urging them to take action against the owner of Maya Exclusive Pub for violating the Communicable Disease Act, the Entertainment Venue Act and the emergency decree.

The pub held a show on March 30, which has been linked to a string of new Covid-19 diagnosis in Hua Hin. More than 90% of the cases found in the area were linked to the venue, authorities said.

Prachuap Khiri Khan has recorded 193 new infections since the start of the month -- 142 of which were detected in Hua Hin.

Hua Hin police chief, Phaitoon Promkhian, said police plan to start by questioning the pub's patrons, but since many are currently hospitalised with Covid-19, the interrogations will have to wait until they are given a clean bill of health by doctors.

"We will investigate the matter further before filing charges against the pub owner and/or manager," Pol Col Phaitoon said.

According to media reports, a driver of Prachuap Khiri Khan's deputy governor tested positive after visiting the pub.

Several sources claimed officials from other government agencies also tested positive after visiting nightspots in Hua Hin.

How about filing charges against those government officials that were blatantly flouting their own rules that they expect everyone else to abide?

Carrying on with this chart - it makes pretty grim reading today.
