the green light Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I read many stories about the quarantine.. This is the latest " From 1 July, 2021, vaccinated foreign tourists will be allowed to visit Phuket without quarantine".. this is not the government position yet. The next question ..for long you need to stay in Phuket before going upcountry without quarantine? Phuket is not the only destination for tourists.. But it is Thailand. I am sure that they need to come up with some official ruling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the measures taken to stop the covid pandemic recommended by virologists. It is very effective. Of course. I understand that and agree with it. Maybe you do t understand that tourists night not want to go on holiday to Phuket if they can't socialise? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we want is the drunk monger crowd who are too hard to control when drunk and often make bad decisions. A soft reopening is a sensible solution, see how it goes, iron out any issues and then expand it. You have to remember that they planned this before the deadly third UK Alpha B117 strain third wave got out of hand so they have had to par it back as a result. I wish them the best of luck, it won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen52 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 There's a quick buck to be made here. Especially after the last subsidised attempt. 500 hotels investigated for creative accounting.

Stargeezr Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It has been years since I went to Phuket. When I did I stayed at Friendship Bungalows at Kata Beach. 15 dollars Canadian for AC and 10 dollars for fan rooms. Sadly the place is gone and the last time I stayed near Karen Beach for 1200 baht per night, about 6 years ago. So no the scheme is 1 night free and the rest at a regular rate. Good deal if you are only there for a week, less so if you are there for a month. I wonder just how many places will be open for business and how many are closed for good. I do imagine that the businesses in Phuket City are okay, and some of the rich resorts may be getting ready to reopen, but I will bet that a lot of places are still shut tight, at least until October. I personally will wait until November before I even consider getting a ticket to anywhere in Thailand. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 You always use to get a break on the price if you told them you were renting for a month, as you received a monthly rate at most places instead of the nightly rate. However, you needed to negotiate this with the management. Smaller bungalow style places up in Chalong near all of the Muay Thai training centers also rented you a motorbike with the room.

Surely the posters that keep asking this question really don't think they will get 1 room for 1 night for $1 ?? You dont think It would come with conditions? Id say something along the lines: if normally a $300 room.. * minimum of 3 nights stay. -Pay $1 for the first night -Next 2 nights cost you $450 per night. Therefor,you actually get ripped off for the $1 ???????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that only those travelers who fly DIRECTLY from another country to PHUKET are allowed. You are not allowed to transit through BKK. If you are in Thailand now, weren't you always able to fly to Phuket?? UPDATE: There is an update posted on another thread that says transit through BKK will now be allowed!! Richard Barrow is the source. ALSO: Quote There is a national rule to close all pubs and bars. Phuket won’t be allowed to be an exception to this rule.
