Pattaya Hits 108 Covid-19 Cases As Tourists Return To Phuket – Pattaya Mail

But Damrongkiat Pinitkarn, secretary to Entertainment & Tourism Association of Pattaya City, said last month that entertainment venues in provinces with high infection rates should remain closed, in his personal opinion. Jump through copious bureaucratic hoops can enter Phuket without having to undergo quarantine. Fully vaccinated foreign tourists willing to put up with harsh restrictions. Pattaya nightlife operators are casting hopeful gazes toward Phuket where international tourists started returning July 1, but with new coronavirus cases surging above 100 Saturday, there’s little hope the same thing will happen here. With only ten percent of Pattaya residents receiving even a single dose of Covid-19 vaccines, the hope for reopening the city to foreign visitors in October remains slim. However, those in areas with low numbers of new Covid-19 cases – which included Pattaya when he was quoted but does not now – should be able to reopen. Sangduen Permenter, owner of TJ’s Music Bar on Soi Naklua 18, said last month she wants to reopen her ladyboy bar that she has owned for a decade, as it will add life to Pattaya’s environment. But only hundreds – not thousands. Certainly not millions as before – are taking advantage of the offer. Chonburi reported 294 new Covid-19 cases in the province July 3, with 108 of them in Banglamung District, which includes Pattaya.

But the sound still makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. But alas, it’s a somewhat tedious affair reflecting the fact it was created out of boredom during the Lock Down years. Dave Brock, now in his ninth decade circling the planet, should know something about this. The Stranglers have come up with a marvelous collection of songs on Dark Matters. Only Jean-Jacques Brunel remains from their Punk beginnings in the Seventies. Not a patch on many of the Hawkwind‘s earlier albums. Somnia is a concept album on the difficulty of sleeping as you get older. Hawkwind have released Somnia, their newest album and the first since the last album under the Hawkwind banner, All Aboard the Skylark (2019). Captain of the Spaceship Hawkwind, Dave Brock, has jettisoned another bass player and signed another two Spacenaut musicians for this journey. The song ‘And If You Should See Dave,’ a tribute to sadly departed founder and keyboard player Dave Greenfield last year, deserves to be a bigger hit than the Stranglers ‘Golden Brown.’ Fortunately, Dave Greenfield had already laid the keyboards for eight of the eleven tracks here. One splendidly monikered as Thighpaulsandra.

Tinnies is a superior, quality cafe so the prices are reasonable but obviously not rock bottom.

A special feature are the made-to-order sandwiches which offer you boxes to tick on a request form. They are closed on Tuesdays. Portions are decidedly not skimpy. Some tasks in life are as easy as pie, but achieving them might be pie in the sky. Not to mention the irresistible desserts which include blueberry or strawberry cheesecake and – the supreme winner – a remarkable lemon meringue … The gourmet pies mostly sell in the 130-150 baht range, the beer-battered dory fish and chips come in at 200 baht and the much-lusted lemon meringue pie 125 baht. You can eat humble pie or find things in apple pie order. Pies are built into our everyday spoken culture which may explain their ongoing popularity. Tinnies is a superior, quality cafe so the prices are reasonable but obviously not rock bottom. Some of the best pies in Pattaya might well be found at Tinnies. You can even be pie-eyed though it’s not recommended as it means you are drunk. The Tinnies’ website is comprehensive and detailed on prices. According to the Sweeney Todd song, the worst pies in London are at Mrs Lovett’s eating house. An American regular told us he goes for breakfast there six times a week.

In those days there were more British visitors to Sin City than any other nationality. One of the newer recruits to the Pattaya pie world is Tinnies, a well-positioned eatery and take-away venue on Thappraya Road and close to Jomtien Beach. The British in particular take their pastry. So far as anyone can remember, the first commercial meat or fruit pies in Pattaya were made by Eileen and her retired British boyfriend in the kitchen of their modest bungalow just off South Road. Fillings very seriously indeed. They include amongst others the Bake House, Caddyshack, Gregs, Simple Simon, Yorkies, Bowmans, London Pies and Neungs. Umpteen bakers have come and gone in the intervening years, but today there are still many companies selling pies. Intense competition was inevitable and there was soon a “War of the Pies” which led to blows between rival manufacturers and legal writs flying around town. That was way back in 1993, the very year Pattaya Mail was founded.

Food hygiene is so very important. The second thing is the efficiency. Friendliness of the staff. Tinnies is at the top of the class. Opened in Australia in 2009, the Pattaya branch dates back to late 2016. The first thing that strikes you is the super-clean environment from every point of view. The cafe has obviously lost custom since the suspension of mass tourism to Thailand, but there is a steady niche of regular expats, phone-in orderers and take-away customers. The secret, of course, is top quality meat and the knowhow in making pastry. There are a dozen or so varieties of meat pies, both hot and frozen: chicken, roast lamb, beef, etc., with some original items such as curry mince. Sales are obviously very brisk with substantial daily baking on a big scale. Whilst we were there, several customers came in to take away a variety of pies. Apart from pies, there’s a sizeable menu choice which includes fried breakfasts, a super burger, American BBQ ribs and authentic Thai food. No substitute for that.
