Thailand’s tourism ministry plans to establish travel bubbles this year

 

By Suchat Sritama

 

Thailand is currently in talks with Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos to set up two-way travel bubbles in a bid to revive intra-regional travel.

 

Minister of tourism and sports Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said that many international tourists are keen to visit places outside of the designated Sandbox areas, but are deterred by prevailing quarantine requirements.

 

As such, the tourism ministry together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Health are seeking to establishment travel bubble arrangements with regional countries.

Thailands stuck in a time bubble.... 

These countries have large numbers of high end big spending tourists?

Desperation, but at least a few of the Laos massage girls I know will come.

If the country is reopening in a couple of weeks, why do you need travel bubbles? 

Awesome, miss my weekend Black Jack trips.

I suspect it's the low wage "slave labour" they want back in large numbers.

The girls can come as tourists and “hole” up in a hotel  for a week and sell there wares.

Presumably tourists come to see S E Asia and reducing the extreme hassle and cost would make the area more attractive, while also managing competition as a syndicate.
