Good news for July opening 

So far 22% of Phuket population is vaccined. That would no doubt have an effect. Will be interesting to see as the priority roll out continues 

Great numbers for Phuket...let's hope it continues.

Coming here from Pattaya at the beginning of March is looking better and better; the first place in Thailand tipped to reach herd immunity. 

But what about the 17 card players infected in a cluster in Karon, the cluster that means that Karon is going to be put into lockdown?

 

Well, that's what I was told yesterday and suggested to the Mrs that it was probably wrong. She'd heard it from someone who'd heard from someone else who'd.......and on it goes. Rumours and Chinese whispers are prevalent right now and making the locals fearful.

People like to gossip...and that's about all there is to do in Karon at the moment.
