PHUKET: Phuket officials are moving ahead with plans to create a Phuket - Phang Nga - Krabi ‘sealed area’ for Phuket Sandbox tourists, Phuket Vice Governor Vikrom Jakthee  confirmed yesterday (Aug 16).

 

The move is hoped to bring economic relief to tourism suffering areas off the island and give potential tourists more reason to come to Thailand via the Phuket Sandbox scheme.

 

“The Phuket Sandbox scheme to welcome vaccinated foreign tourists is continuing very well, and we want to have the ‘Phuket Sandbox 7+7’, under which tourists can stay in Phuket for seven days and stay in Phang Nga or Krabi for the other seven days,” V/Gov Vikrom explained via video conference with committee members of the Center for COVID Situation Administration (CCSA) in Bangkok.

What a joke. Covid is rampant with a lot more cases than what is reported. So, let's open more areas. Surreal.

This will be good for the dive industry as it will allow day-trip and liveaboard boats from these provinces to visit dive sites across provincial lines...currently, boats based in Phuket are limited to the Racha islands, Ko Doc Mai, and a couple other sites within Phuket's maritime boundaries. The Phi-Phi islands and several other sites are located in adjacent Krabi and Phang Nga waters.
