So much negativity here on TV................................as a poster rightly mentioned on another thread.......................Sandbox is a pilot scheme and Phuket IMO is far better than staying in BKK..................................yes, it's gonna be quiet initially, but the locals will react extremely fast (they're just waiting in the wings, chomping at the bit) and incoming and 'understanding that it's dead anyway pioneering tourists' will set the trend and the locals will react accordingly in a heartbeat.....................Phuket is a 'hot' worldwide destination and it'll warm up fast and 20% initial businesses open is enough for the ballsy and Thailand addicted tourist that understands the situation to be cracking on with...............................

Are you prepared to do the pioneering in that "hot"worldwide destination ????????????? I know much hotter destinations open already without all the hoops the Thai "government" is imposing.

Go to Phuket and other than the locals living there, you can see the semi ghost town look of the

tourist areas. Entertainment will be these ghost town tours.  You will feel a bit like a pioneer, and maybe the locals will

be really happy to have you back as their first international tourists in a long time. 

  Bring lots of cash, baht and enjoy a less crowded beach than you will get if you return in 2023.

The remaining expats are mainly located in Laguna Chergtalay and Naiharn/Rawai areas. In these areas there is still devastation to business but a lot better than Surin Beach, Kata, Karon and Patong. 

 

I suspect that the smattering of tourists will find that outside of these areas the tumble weeds are blowing down the main streets.
