Kicking sand at the beach and making sand castles should keep Covid at bay.

Of course it is all just about money from the looks of it.

“The three provinces were chosen as [pre-COVID] they generated up to B600 billion from tourism, which in 2019 was about one-fifth the national total revenue from tourism. Of the B600bn, B470bn came from Phuket, B100bn came from Krabi and B45bn came from Phang Nga,” he said.

what does a guy like that dream about ? or are we reading about  all his dreams ?

More like sand pie in the sky as no other gear than reverse can be selected by these imbeciles ????  

In many big western cities,  sandbox removed from park because the  feral cats and other animals  used as big litter box for making the defecation.  I think  appropriate analogy for use here.

Is that an up-grade from a concrete box?

He can afford dreams... others need work & a salary

I think Phuket and litter sand box are a very close analogy....................................
