So the virologists claimed a virus disappeared. ????

Diving is open, but this time of year normally not from the beach. But of course there are always cowboys offering beach diving.

Nonsense, except maybe in your mind.

Better come here then and do away with boredom by enjoying the beaches.

So you didn't see Sai Yuan?

But you're still reading the forum and answering posts on it. Strange obsession.

Looking forward to a link to a recent box jellyfish sting in the Phuket area.

It doesn't say SHA + is a requirement in your quote. So thanks finally quoting and clearing that up, was it that hard?

Probably they released this to protect the citizens. Or are you suggesting they let this go until all involved are arrested?

Really locked down this morning there. I was told 84 positive on first test, next day more, so total above 100. It is a small area with people living closely together. Also the 7/11 next door was closed for 2 days for desinfection, surprisingly the supercheap opposite not.

I quoted from an official source, you only gave incorrect information you said you read.

Don't know, you tell me. I quoted from your link, you only claimed your link said something.

Don't think they were referring to international tourism there but domestic.

From the OP: "The Phuket campaign to provide third vaccination injections as ‘booster shots’ to increase protection against infection of COVID-19 among frontline medical workers and officials began at the Indoor Sports Stadium at Saphan Hin today (Sept 9.)". Don't agree with that, comment on the OP, but don't accuse me of writing nonsense. You make your choices, complaining about those choices is also your choice.

The post I responded to was about bashing Phuket.

Free choice. From the site you mention " Q: What tours and excursions, transportation, and restaurants should I use while in Phuket? A: It is recommended that you use SHA Plus operators for tours and transportation and SHA Plus restaurants for dining although this is not compulsory.",

Maybe the poster I responded to can speak for himself.

Many countries have started or are well underway with boosters for the general population; this booster here is for frontline health care workers. But don't let an opportunity go to waste to bash Phuket.

No, not different from foreigners. You're confusing 'domestic' with 'Thai' and 'foreigners' with 'international'.

Agree with a lot you write, but this "You need to check as during Sandbox you will only be permitted to take part in SHA+ licensed operators." Is not true. First transport from airport to hotel has to be SHA+, after that you're totally free in your choices.

Yes. The reason is that when the sandbox was conceived there were no domestic infections, so the fear was that by opening up covid would be imported. Since then this has changed on both fronts. I would agree that the entry requirements should be similar, but the origin of the difference is easily explained.

What's stopping you from putting up a stand?

You realize 'domestic' applies to Thai and other nationalities and that the PCR test requirement applies to all nationalities coming in from abroad!

According to the information officials have you'll stay 30 days, so 30 day insurance is required. Whether it would be wise to have a longer lasting one is up to you.

Excellent, quarantine at home is sensible for those with minor symptoms.
