Upnotover Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The whole story is well worth reading, it contains nothing that would suggest the need for a "beach tourist campaign". "The push for Phuket to prepare for international tourists comes as the ban on all inbound international commercial passenger flights expired at midnight last night, with six groups of foreigners allowed to enter Thailand as of today (July 1)." The six groups link in the story actually goes to an eleven groups story, none of which are tourists (so called medical tourists excepted).

Only problem is that I think almost nobody here is interested to just stay on Samui and then having to leave shortly after. Hope there will be a way to then travel to BKK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather stay in BKK, but they can't control newly arrived tourists there. This whole virus situation needs to calm down before unrestricted tourism restarts in Thailand. Maybe there will be air bridges in a few months if the virus doesn't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 In my hometown some of the more cashed up businesses have renovated and redecorated to be re energised for the reopening of tourism. Have these guys cleaned up the beaches streets or done anything to brighten the place up for the future? Any local expats seen any activity of this nature going on? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
