snoop1130 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Photo: Phuket International Airport. PHUKET:-- Phuket International Airport has begun preparations to receive overseas visitors as the island strives to reinvigorate its tourism industry following the government’s confirmation of relaxed quarantine conditions, effective today (Apr 1). Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew and Vice Governor Pichet Pananpong visited the X terminal today to oversee the extensive vaccination process of all staff, mandatory to install confidence to all overseas visitors. Additionally, it was confirmed yesterday (Mar 31) that two flights from Germany will be arriving on the island this and next month as part of the international terminal’s “reopening”.

madmitch Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Odd picture. I assume it's the vaccination queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 So one flight from Germany this month and one next month. Is that for tourists? if so what's that passenger wise, maybe 600? if the plane is full? How many other airlines have ramped up in short notice and started selling seats? This will either bee a boom or a bust. The best made plans of mice and men sometimes go awry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFPhuket Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Both Qatar and Emirates have loaded direct flights from their Middle East hubs to Phuket beginning July 1. That obviously coincides with Phuket's plan to allow vaccinated tourists to skip quarantine beginning on July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandeventer Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Just a small question, can the tourist who are released from quarantine in Phuket travel anywhere in Thailand? If so shouldn't we all get vaccines in a hurry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Well, for now it is costly to get back into Canada from anywhere abroad. I have to wait until the conditions are much better before getting excited about travelling outside of Canada. Right now most Provinces do not want people from other provinces to come for a visit. In fact Ontario is doing a one month lock down because the numbers are rising again. In Alberta, we may have to get more restrictions if the numbers cannot be kept low. Unfortunately, there are still groups of the younger people from late teens to their 40s who just do not take this pandemic seriously. Groups of people still gather in large numbers and party without masking up and being cautious. Yes, it has been a long year, and now a lot of us realize, a tiny bit, of how people in jails feel without being able to freely travel where they used to. I will be a happy guy, when the majority of countries have the majority of their population vaccinated. Stay safe and healthy. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer If you run short on vaccines maybe we can send you over some Chinese ones? I am sure we will have plenty of left overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
