PHUKET: The designated ‘SHA+ Managers’ at ‘SHA+ accommodation venues have been instructed to specifically closely monitor the movements of Phuket Sandbox tourists who are elderly or infirm, women traveling alone, girls or single men in the province’s efforts to ramp of security for travellers arriving under the Sandbox scheme.

 

Phuket Immigration Superintendent Col Thanet Sukchai announced the move at a meeting held at the EOC Command Centre at Phuket Provincial Police headquarters in Phuket Town yesterday (Aug 25), chaired by Phuket Vice Governor Vikrom Jakthee.

 

“SHA Plus managers must closely monitor these risk groups for the maximum safety of tourists,” Col Thanet said.

Now, where did we store those tracking devices?

Single men at risk? The katoeys in soi Bangla are at risk, not these single men!

????

If I was a single man in Phuket I would NOT want to be tracked, monitored or cared for! ????????

Bubble-wrap on order.

Are there any suggestions, any ideas how they would even begin to achieve this?

Hey look, it's a Sandbox with a Ramp. I'm gonna take a selfie!

not a massive task it seems considering the now undisclosed arrivals which are likely so small now they have decided to keep the numbers a secret

With so little "tourists" arriving to sandbox, they could easy assign a personal bodyguard 24/7 to each sandboxer in the risk group. ????

I think now would be a good time to remind some of those identified as 'at-risk' of the PM's earlier advice not to wear bikinis unless ugly.

Isn't that the other way around?

This is confusing.

The poor lady that was murdered was not in the SHA Plus program at the time that she was murdered. She had finished her 14 days quarantine, left the SHA Plus hotel and was travelling around Phuket staying in other hotels. She would probably still be alive had she stayed where she was originally.

Whilst I believe that Phuket is generally a safe place to visit, ramping up security in the SHA Plus scheme will not really help to prevent something similar from happening again.

In the 15 days I recently spent there I only saw one copper clamping a scooter and one flash from the overhead speed cam as I left in a great hurry ????
