PHUKET: Minister of Culture Ittipol Khunpluem yesterday (Aug 25) revealed projects to support the Tourism Sandbox scheme under 45 ‘roadmaps to boost the economy’ in Phuket and other provinces across the country.

“To support the government scheme to open Phuket and other provinces as pilot areas to welcome vaccinated tourists, in order to boost the national economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Culture has 45 roadmaps [sic] to support the opening of the other provinces,” Mr Itthipol said.

“Right now, we have three projects in Phuket. We have cancelled the entrance fee to the Thalang National Museum located in Moo 3, Srisoonthorn, from July 1 until December 31, and are holding a special exhibition on cave art and ancient life from July 29 until the end of October,” he said.
