"Command Center"'

whoh!!! sound like the "WAR ROOM" ...Once establish they will never dismantled.

 

They mean business and it does not sound that it is a temporary thing.. It sounds like it their intention in the future to track all arrivals. For 14 days with 3 covid tests.

I do not kno who will want to go through this aggravation.

 

That is not a vacation and quite expensive .

Command Centre? What are they expecting, a riot?

Going by the amount of laugh emojis given to the OP it seems its a riot already.  

Come on people - look at the picture - not sure of the number of camera feeds but I only see TWO working. Remember - this is IT (information technology) - they are not well known for their IT-prowess.

Watch them declare success when the planes are half full with returnees.

Than watch the excuses as that source of people dries up.

Sounds like Tourist will be under Martial Law. Government want complete control, where are you going, go here, stop there, spend here not there, not drink here, swim here not there, eat here not there. Virus check now pay money, etc, etc.

Will the cops be following the 'tourist' and fine him if he takes his mask off for a cigarette or to drink.  

What leaves me a little dubious is how much they seem convinced that as soon as they will open the borders, tourists will rush, a bit like children when you open the doors of Dysneyworld!

From what I have heard / read vaguely, they might end up a bit grotesque because things are going to take a while to get back to normal.
Moreover, it seems to me that they have already halved their first estimates. I think they can still divide by 4 or 6, probably more.
That everything is in place so that the activity linked to tourism can resume, I find that normal. But to give numbers, and therefore anticipating people's intentions as they did, is taking the risk of having to justify a big mistake, making tourism professionals and all the people who lived by it very disappointed. , discontented and as we say in my country, they might be "the turkeys of the stuffing" (I think the correct translation is: To be the butt of the joke / To be the fall guy)

I did read, not long ago, that Thai tourists are heading that way.  How are they going to get there!  Are they being airlifted-in, or travelling through several provinces, stopping to eat every 2 hours, collecting the virus as they go!

 

I can feel the 4th wave hovering not too far away; the foreigners can take the blame, so no problem.

 

I've just noticed the number under my name at the top - 1984!  There's an omen, if ever I saw one.

The centre will be used, along with the “Mor Prom” and “Mor Chana” apps, to track the movements of foreign tourists on Phuket, in an effort to control the spread of COVID-19. Tourists will be required to install one of the apps upon arrival. If an infection is found, the information will be sent to health investigators so tourists can seek treatment.

Will it look like this?

Personally, I look forward to being told when to wake up, where I should eat and being reprimanded for staying out too late. They will know where to find you. Don't stay in a no tell hotel! 555

 

Will they fine me for being where they don't want me at any time? Just a thought. I think the coporoos could have big fun with this. Maybe they could send a female cop to solicit sex? Or arrest you for solicitation of any female?

 

I will need to know the address of the local jail so my family knows where to send my mail. 555

There was a livestream on utube yesterday a bar in rawai girls screaming, dancing, one lying on the floor playing with herself, anyone watching who perish the thought was into those wild shenanigans would of booked the flight there and then..

I wonder how many baht it cost them to set this system up? What a waste of time and money. By the time it’s actually needed, with enough tourists to apply it, the technology will be obsolete.

Do these clowns actually believe  tourists will come and tolerate all that nonsense?

Agreed, couldn't they come up with a different name than command centre, I suppose not with a milatary government. Who would want to spend thier hard earned cash in such an environment. I feel sorry for Thais.

Why is it that only foreigners are being targeted and looked down on as disease ridden dogs.  I'm fully vaccinated but will still be looked at with utter disgust simply because I'm a foreigner.  Doesn't make for a pleasant holiday.

And the few Foreigners that do decide to brave the Phuket Concentration Camp, as soon as they set foot outside the Hotel, will be greeted with lines of False Smiley Faces all offering the very best of everything, at a cheap price.

All Foreigners are looked upon with disgust, until the persons Wallet is opened, and then you have the above scenario.

 

I’m sure fancy streetlights have been ordered..

If they are not set up for controlling the mafia and other bad elements in Phuket, then they are there for

all the wrong reasons.  Just another nail.

Phuket will be the first province to welcome fully vaccinated foreign visitors, without quarantine, from July 1st

Terrible idea based only on financial loss by influential hoteliers on the island. 

No foreign tourist should be allowed until all Thais have been vaccinated. 

With all those surveillance cameras the Sandbox Police will quickly be able track the dirty Farang not wearing a mask. No doubt they will be charged the full 20,000 baht fine... Kerching...

Will Pipat (Tourism Minister) be joined by Anutin and the Czar to greet the 1st planeload of tourists on day one of Operation Sandbox. Tourists will be given garlands and tagged with their tracking devices...

I'm looking forward to some insider feedback that's if they can get though the security wall surrounding  Phuket.

They are waiting for refugees, shipwrecks, surely not tourists ...

I'm assuming that the command centre will be set up on Bangla Road and perhaps a few other mobile units on other similar types of sois and roads.
