With the latest TVC ‘Amazing Moments in Phuket’ featuring Leicester City FA Cup 2021 winners, sending an invitation to the world to visit Thailand’s popular tourist island in the not-too-distant-future.

 

TAT Newsroom

 

Bangkok, 16 June, 2021 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in partnership with the King Power International Group, has launched a new marketing campaign, “Phuket is now open”, under the theme of ‘Amazing Thailand, Now even more Amazing’.

 

Mr. Tanes Petsuwan, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, said, “The campaign forms part of the Royal Thai Government’s efforts to prepare the island ready to welcome back fully vaccinated visitors under the ‘Phuket Sandbox’ model from 1 July, 2021.”

 

Placing emphasis on sports tourism, the “Phuket is now open” campaign is launched with a TVC ‘Amazing Moments in Phuket’ that features three of Leicester City FA Cup 2021 winners – James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho – to convey a message of how Phuket is ready to welcome back international visitors.

 

While sharing memorable experiences that await all visitors in Phuket through the three Leicester City FC players, the TVC is also sending out emotional memories with postcard images of sporting activities; such as, scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing, sailing, parachuting and a triathlon, as well as natural attractions, the old town, and cuisine.

 

TAT is sharing the new TVC ‘Amazing Moments in Phuket’ on global channels, including BBC World News and Euro News, as well as the publicity channels of King Power, Leicester City FC, and Dug Out from 16 June, 2021, onwards.

 

The final official details of the Phuket Sandbox model are currently under review by the Royal Thai Government, but the initial information is available here.

Patong, Karon & Kata beach might indeed be lifeless

BUT its a great time to see the natural beauty of phuket island and the beaches sans  tourists>
wont last long

regurgitated words and faded slogans, i mean, i wish them all the best, really, but i don't see any significant incoming of tourists or revenues to justify all this brouhaha of song and dance... 

Wait until the Fake News Police see this con. Seriously, there are jails in the US which are more alluring than Phuket. What is open?

Who wants a stick shoved up your nose 5 times in two weeks? This scheme should be called "Amazing Thailand Phuket  Prison".

I would hope the police puts a stop to this money grab.

amazing holiday in Phuket.. at arrival you get a location tracking wristband which is not allowed to take off , you need as vaccinated tourist do at least 4 Covid test. 1 before you enter, and 3 on the island and you need expensive insurance. ... yeah a really amazing experience ..... 

No doubt the campaign will be awash with photos showing Patpong heaving with throngs of tourists piling into the open bars and go-go's. On the next page there will be packed restaurants with customers all raising their wine and beer glasses in a "Cheers" cheer to celebrate the fact that you can buy these drinks with your meal. ????????????

Oh bruther.

Why reminisce on what has passed, this surely is a false advert as many of the noted activities are not on offer plus the place is only a shadow of itself with no entertainment or social night life ............. 

Exactly what is open in Phuket ????

 

Come 1st July - 14 days / 3 Covid-19 RT PCR tests

 

Restaurants open?, will visitors allowed to have a beer? beach? massage? bars?

 

Will there be any life at all ??

.....I recall three other Leicester players had some rather different memories from their visit to Thailand in 2015.

As far as I know all pubs and entertainment venues will remain shut throughout July.

 

And it's water with your meal as far as I can tell.

 

Who would want to fly 7,000 miles for that??

 

Lets have it right .

zero reason for westerners to come to Phuket now, during western summer.

except empty/uncrowded beaches.just find same at home.Phuket rainy too.

phuket deader than disco and will remain so until restrictions all ditched  (other than fullvax for intl tourists). 1July is Dead. Long Live 1 Oct potential high season thailand reopening........

Hey there may be wealthy tourists whop are into that. Get yourself imprisoned in Phuket; escape and go to Chiang Mai for a public whipping; then on to Koh Tao and drown yourself in a swimming pool. 

Now even more amazing !! ????????????????????????

In what way ? Unless you don’t drink , don’t like people and don’t want anything from shops ????

What a very fitting Photo

Sitting all alone, in a great big empty space, with nobody to talk to, or interact with, and this could be you for 14 Days on Phuket.

Possibly but not as we know it.. beam me up Scotty.

A stroll down the street with a video camcorder can erase all that glitzy marketing in about 60 seconds.
