Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub By The Phuket News PHUKET: Phuket officials have issued a special order to confirm that Phuket Sandbox tourists may leave the island on “sealed” boat tours to nearby islands while still observing their mandatory 14-day stay on the island. The order was issued by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew yesterday. The order was posted online at 10:28pm last night. “Sandbox tourists who are still observing their mandatory 14-day stay in Phuket can travel around Phuket to other islands by leaving with a tour boat at these three piers: Ao Por, Rassada, and Chalong,” the order noted.

Pattaya Spotter Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I don't know about these tours to neighboring Islands, but masks are not required when engaging in permitted sporting or athletic activities (on land or at sea), e.g., fishing and scuba diving ????

Seems one law for Phuket and another for the rest of a suffering Thailand! Disgraceful! Even if you forget they're all vaccinated, every one of them has tested negative in the past few days. And they'll be tested again in the next few days. And whether they decide to stay in Phuket or fly out, they'll be tested again before their flight. Except the crew, and they're all masked up. One law for Phuket? That's what the Sandbox is for. To test a concept that may allow Thailand to open their economy and safely take millions of Thais out of economic despair.

merijn Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 10 hours ago, Excel said: One law for Phuket mafia I think you mean For that whole reason is the sandbox program setup, to see if with increased security measurements a save travel bubble could be established. And the measurements will only be increased if required to keep the sandbox program alive. I'm happy with that as that gives many people a way back home during those circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
