Russian and European tourists started booking rooms at Alternative State Local Quarantine (ASLQ) hotels in Pattaya of Chon Buri province, but were then blocked from organising flights to the kingdom after Thai Consulate-Generals said they were only allowed to quarantine in Bangkok and its surrounding areas.

Thanet Supornsahasrungsi, president of the Chon Buri Tourism Council, told media on Wednesday that the ASLQ hotels in Chon Buri had passed health standards, adding that Russian and European guests had already booked their rooms.

According to the consulates, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has blocked ASLQs altogether, so the large number of foreign tourists who booked the hotels in Pattaya to quarantine for 14 days and stay, failed, he said.

Your title is misleading. No one was turned away at Pattaya.

Their flights were cancelled due to some cock up about Quarantine,

At least I think so from the appallingly written article!

More nonsense from a Pattaya rag. It even includes a fake photo. There should be a ban on posting so called information from these organs.

I thought only citizens from countries where covid19 cases are minimal are allowed in. How come Russians are on that list? The virus is rampant in that country.

Why? Tea money, m'dear, probably lots of it from the group organizer.

Normally I'd agree. But in this case the tea money would have to include Embassy officials, the airline, airport managers, the insurers - a whole load of third parties other than the BIB. The organiser of a tour party of a few dozen or even hundreds of tourists would have to cough up a vast amount. Sorry but that seems to make no sense.
