Hoteliers in Pattaya City have expressed concern over the feasibility of fully resuming under the city's reopening scheme, as the still serious Covid-19 situation may hinder efforts to draw foreign tourists back. Despite that, several groups of British, Chinese and Indian tourists have already expressed interest in coming to Pattaya. Chon Buri governor Phakkhathon Thianchai said Pattaya City and Muang and Bang Lamung districts of Chon Buri will be included in the government's next tourism reopening plan. "If cleared of Covid-19 infection, they will be allowed to travel more freely in zones and on routes prepared for the reopening programmes." About 80% of people in Pattaya have already been vaccinated against Covid-19, he said.
