Oh my goodness, desperate time means desperate measures but they must understand that bubble are like balloons, one p$%%k and its gone. ????

Phuket has one road onto the island and an International airport. Easy to control entry and exit.

 

The same cannot be said for Phang Nga.

 

I don't need to say any more.

Idea is ok, control however not really possible. But anyhow, why should vaccinated visitors be limited at all ? And what about all the workers coming from outside the provinces involved ? Too many unanswered questions. No vaccines ready screws up all plans and greater BKK cocks up everything.

 

I get confused with so many Deputy prime ministers.  It's the same with the hundreds of generals here in Thailand.
