Pattaya, Thailand's tourist hotspot, may delay its planned reopening to vaccinated travellers on September 1, as the city is dealing with insufficient inoculations among locals and a spike in new Covid-19 cases, reports Xinhua news agency.

Apichai Chatchalermkit, deputy governor of digitalization research and development at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), is quoted in the local media as saying that the authorities are still committed to reopening the resort city within October, in line with the government's plan to fully reopen the country in near future. 

Similarly, Bun-anan Phatthanasin, President of Pattaya Business and Tourism Association mentioned the same, as he indicated that the city needs to get at least 70 per cent of its population vaccinated against Covid-19 before reopening to inbound foreign travellers.

The vaccination rate in Chon Buri province where Pattaya is located has just reached 33 per cent of its population… a long way to go before achieving the proclaimed target of 70 per cent. The authority is also dealing with a surge in daily infections, which has exceeded 1,000 cases since the end of July.
