It's 800.000.000 for one month divided by 30 days = 26.666.666,66666667 a day, divided by 14.000 tourists = 1.904,761904761905 a day per tourist. Or 800.000.000 for one month divided by 14.000 tourists = 57.142,85714285714 divided by 30 day = 1.904,761904761905 a day per tourist. So again only 1.904 baht

Average spend of each tourist excluding flights was 5,400 baht per day. 

I find this figure difficult to comprehend given the last 12 months of covid and many millions lost their jobs.

but, some may have spent that and some more.

Hardly much to brag about - lets put this into perspective

 

This is equivalent to a single large day cruise ship in the Mediterranean carrying 400 people - it is hardly ground breaking tourism and to add that a significant number I suspect were not even tourists but those returning that live here, also offset by costs to set it up and the loss of local tourism 

 

- 400 people odd a day

- Bt800m spent minus hotel costs is about Bt2000 a day

 

was it really worth it ?, plus we have a massive drop in Sept - hardly enough to fill a couple of hotels - what then ?

Sept 90,182

"Phuket Sandbox: 14,000 "foreign" tourists have spent 800 million baht - spending options limited"

 

Perhaps more short time spending to overcome the limits? But I have to admit that I am not an expert for family tourism.

Short time spending?

Maths not our strong point? 800 million baht divided by 14,000 people equates to just over 57K baht per person. Entirely plausible given the higher rates that most SHA+ hotels are charging. Probably not much being spent out on the streets though.

I would hazard a guess and say swimming pool lesions.

Manager reported Tourism Authority of Thailand figures that suggested in the first month of the much heralded Phuket Sandbox 14,055 foreign tourists had visited the holiday island and spent 800 million baht.

Possibly total expenditure, including hotels etc etc.... not sure how much got to street level where it's needed.
