The so-called ''Pattaya Moves On'' tourism sandbox remains on track for reopening on Oct 1 as confirmed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Tourism and Sports Ministry, Mr Sonthaya said. Chon Buri is one of five provinces planned for the Oct 1 reopening. On Tuesday, Mr Sonthaya said Pattaya was fully prepared to welcome back foreign visitors on Oct 1, although he has made room for disappointment if the date were to be pushed back. Meanwhile, the famed Alcazar Cabaret Show theatre, one of Pattaya's main draw cards, is not yet ready for reopening on Oct 1.
