Planning based on la la land figures is a recipe for business disaster. You mean Bob Hope and No Hope??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjo o tjim Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The rest of the world is facing the challenges of how slow ramping back up capacity for everything. Amazing Thailand has already figured it out, I guess… I wonder how many staff the hotels have trained back up to handle this huge surge… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 8 hours ago, webfact said: ...Saksayam said that in July to the end of October Phuket airport will be running at about 28% of capacity with up to 134 flights per day mostly from Asia, Africa and Europe... 134 flights arriving plus 134 flights departing, that is on average a flight movement roughly every five minutes, working around the clock 24 hours. That should work out fine, shouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunner Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Given the way TAT works things out, no doubt we'll have 4 plane loads of tourists flown in, herded through immigration taken round the back and promptly put back on the planes, which will take off again and the whole process repeated. Rinse and repeat until desired number of entries are achieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kynikoi Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 As asked earlier...Why would anyone come here on holiday when there is a chance of being forcibly imprisoned at your own expense due to a false pos PCR test??? Why would anyone book a holiday in Phuket in July-Nov??! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JCP108 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Here's some math: The PCR tests have a reported false positive rate of 0.5% or 1/200. If they keep the required 3 tests per sandboxer, each traveler has a 1.5% chance of winning a mandatory 14-day hospital stay. If they really did have 146k visitors come to Phuket in July, then roughly 2,100 of them would end up in the hospital. Can the Phuket hospitals handle those extra patients on top of the legit tasks? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be great PR when return home and report to media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
