China News Agency reporter Wang Guoan
Thailand began implementing the fourth phase of lifting measures on the 15th. The Green Mountain Zoo in Chonburi Province, which has been closed for nearly three months, was officially lifted and reopened on the same day, attracting many tourists to visit. Some children shouted happily: "Regain happiness!"
At the entrance of the zoo, tourists lined up to enter the park, and the headmaster, Atapeng, ordered the tourists to visit in order. He told the China News Service reporter that in order to welcome tourists back, the zoo is free from the day to the end of this month, but tourists must first make an appointment through the Internet to control the number of people. After the website is opened for appointment, it will be full soon. Considering that some tourists may not use the Internet, the zoo has added an additional 500 places for direct tours. Visitors can only enter the park after registering their identity information at the gate of the zoo.
"Today is a working day, and the sky is not beautiful, it rains, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of the staff and tourists. The zoo was officially opened at 8:30 in the morning, and parents and children began to line up to enter the park at 7. "Atapon said.
Green Mountain Zoo is Thailand's public "protected area" large zoo with more than 300 species and more than 8,000 animals. With the growing severity of the new crown epidemic in Thailand in mid-March, the park was forced to suspend business like other Thai zoos.
Atapon said that during the closure of the park, the animals were able to recuperate and recuperate, and the staff also took advantage of this opportunity to renovate and clean the facilities in the park to prepare for the reopening of the park. During the period, the zoo also launched a live broadcast of "Zoo to your home", so that people who love the zoo can watch the daily cute moments of animals without leaving the house. After the zoo is reopened, the garden will still insist on live broadcasts, and the frequency will be changed once a week.
Walking into the park, I saw a row of battery cars parked neatly on the roadside for tourists to rent. The staff said that driving by car is a new way to visit the garden under the epidemic situation recommended by the garden, which is conducive to reducing the contact between tourists and staff and animals, controlling the flow, and allowing tourists to enjoy the journey while ensuring safety.
The reporter saw that there are eye-catching safety tips everywhere in the zoo to remind tourists of the precautions when visiting. At the entrance of each venue, disinfectants are provided free of charge for tourists.
At the Zoo Elephant Training Center, the 11-year-old boy A Dong watched the elephant refuse to leave for a long time and kept asking the elephant trainer about the elephant during the outbreak: "Did you feed him on time? No children came Are the elephants lonely? Did you play games with him?"
"Elephants are my good friends. I haven't seen them for a long time. Now that I see them so healthy, I feel relieved." When A Dong said this, the elephants on the side seemed to welcome their good friends back. Happy to make a whistle-like sound, causing visitors to laugh.
A Dong's mother said that since the outbreak, the child has been "closed" at home for several months. When she learned that the zoo was open, she and her husband quickly took the children out for a stroll and met the animals he loved. "Seeing that the children are so happy, we also feel the happiness that the haze of the epidemic gradually dissipated." She said.
According to the regulations of the Thai zoo management department, in order to prevent cluster infections, many new normal epidemic prevention measures have also been taken in the zoo, including the air-conditioned rooms or closed spaces in the park are not temporarily open.
In addition to the zoo, Thai schools, nurseries, nursing homes, stadiums, parks, beaches, amusement parks, water parks, children's parks, concerts and music performances were also lifted on the same day. At present, except for high-risk places such as bars, nightclubs and karaoke shops, most places in Thailand have been reopened. (Finish)
