PHUKET: Phuket Vice Governor Phichet Panapong has explained some of the control measures in place at the Sri Panwa resort, where the island’s first travel bubble ‘villa quarantine’ foreign tourists, who arrived on Sunday, are observing a 14-day quarantine before being allowed to travel freely within Thailand.

 

 

 

The tourists are the first ‘villa quarantine’ travel bubble tourists to enter the country. The model, if successful, is hoped to be used elsewhere to help reopen the country to tourism.

 

The tourists arrived from Indonesia on two flights operated by Indonesian national airline Garuda Indonesia on Sunday night (Feb 21).

Do they really think that your average tourist is well heeled enough to charter special flights and pay top dollar (Villas usually 26K baht a night but probably more for quarantine) for 2 weeks in captivity?
