PHUKET:-- All subdistricts in Phuket will be under “lockdown” orders by this coming Monday (Apr 13) and people will be allowed to celebrate Songkran on the streets, but not travel to other parts of the island, the Phuket Governor has announced.

 

Patong, Karon, Chalong, Rawai, Kathu and Srisoonthorn subdistricts are already under lockdown orders, rolled out of the past week.

 

All remaining subdistricts, or “tambon” in Thai, will be under lockdown order for 14 days starting Monday, Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana explained in a televised interview with state broadcaster MCOT.

I do hope that something has been lost in translation.

Its the same quote The Phuket News is twisting into "Songkran OK"

And I can see it now TAT's new Slogan for Phuket ....."Come and enjoy the refreshing and Wonderful Island of Phuket, where our successful SongKran washed away the COVID-19", and then the followup "Be the first to feel your Chest tighten as you breathe in deeply, and view the scenery"

I guess that the man feels he has shut everyone from coming in or going out, and then closed each of the sub-districts from being crossed, and thus has each district locked down as well.  So in his mind its all under control, each sub-district can infect only those in that district, one giant orgy will work....what an actual nutcase, who gives these people these top positions.

i hope everyone understand what this means for all of thailand and the period of time we are going to have remained locked down.

I wanted to believe my own views of what was transpiring were just foolish dreams, but holy snake eyes batman, looks like the Joker has been in charge all along, so much for Gotham city, now if we only had a capable Star fleet commander to get us out of here in warp speed, where is Scotty when I need to be beamed up....

Wuhan province just lifted travel and flight restrictions, perfect opportunity to invite a few thousand Chinese to come and enjoy Songkran in Phuket with a warm welcome back from all!
