Popular Post Gold Star Posted August 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2021 With tourist arrival rates of 1% of normal, it is almost already suspended. However, at least it gives an alternative to a 14 day ASQ for those coming back to Thailand. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smedly Posted August 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2021 Of note, under the new order as an increased safety measure following the murder of Swiss Sandbox tourist Nicole Sauvain-Weisskopf, all Sandbox tourists must now report to the SHA Managaer at the accommodation venue where they are staying each day on returning to the hotel. Hey look I am still alive nobody murdered me yet in Phuket - wonderful As for the OP - well they just binned all the rules concerning infection rates on the Island and opted to impose more restictions on tourists instead Maybe they should up the testing of foreigners to 2x times a day - that should increase the scalping 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrotobike Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 "However, buried in the six-page order was Article 3, “The Phuket Provincial Public Health Office response plan and a plan to delay or cancel the project."

mikesalaugh Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 So when even 10% of tourists are confirmed positive (after 10+ days) they will still keep it open because it's the farrang fault and nothing to do with catching it in Phuket off the the local population. Dirty unwashed farrang, they should look closer to home in their own population,. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let me guess... raise the number of infections from 90 per day to lets say a round 1,000?

Umm, some hotels are filling up, getting harder to make a reservation, a lot of restaurants getting busy, and more people arriving every day. These are based on reports from people actually there, which is obviously not you. Perhaps you should consider getting your 'news' from sources beside pulling it out of thin air or trying to echo other doom mongers here wishing they were there.
