Popular Post Phuketshrew Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 5 days later. What an incompetent bunch of f.c.k.w.i.t.s. we have in charge. The Governor of Phuket needs to step up and introduce testing/quarantine for travellers coming from red zones before the Songkran mayhem ensues otherwise they can kiss goodbye to the planned July 1st "opening". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The event owners should also be made to pay for everybodies test, they made a fortune from this party. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go further than that as they were culpable in not ensuring the safety of the party goers. This act fo extreme recklessness (money before all) has now put the potential reopening of Phuket to tourists in jeopardy. I imagine this is not going to go down too well with businesses making a genuine effort to get the Phuket economy on the road to recovery. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If you think we never had Covid19 cases here in Phuket for the last 100 days or whatever it is , while they had it in other parts of the country, you are naive.... Unless someone is really sick and ends up in hospital they don't test and so don't have any cases....! It's a bit like early last year, there were Covid here, people go to doctors and clinics with mild symptoms and were told to take aspirin and go home and rest.... So this is nothing to worry about, I think Thais actually do follow the rules well most of the time and this helps to restrict the spread significantly... (I just hope no kneejurk reactions and serious lockdown again....!). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smedly Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 can someone explain what happens if they get a test and it is positive I think I have a good idea and none of it would persuade me to come forward and volunteer myself to the hurt that would follow I could certainly self isolate in my own home if I needed to but no way would I expose myself to anything else as millions travel and spread across the country these next 2 weeks Thailand seems to be hell bent on self destruction - it can only be on purpose it is so idiotic 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo0 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 So if you present yourself and test positive ? Are they going to quarantine you in a hospital for 10 days or more and hit you with a massive bill afterwards ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not clear to me home quarantine or containment some where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 event organisers should be strung-up.... Phuket just wants to be a party zone making millions, forget peoples health & safety.... Mind you having said that, going to one of these parties you must be asking for trouble... good luck with the testing one and all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey11 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Cannot see a huge rush of patrons going to respond to this request, unless they get sick enough to think they need medical treatment only available at hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Anyone on IG following some HISO have seen they have been frequently going to Phuket. Why not if you have money it's a short flight and probably empty resorts by all the postings. Maybe even given for the publicity. I saw posts on IG right after the party. It looked like a roaring time. Not a mask in sight and crowded and hot gals in beach clothes if not bikini's. I knew right then this could be a disaster. First series of 3 parties out of the gate in a year for this Kolour outfit and wham!! How can anybody be think this Phuket opening can go well is a fool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the thing that will put your average person off going to get tested , so if they have caught Covid and even have very light symptoms then they can still be walking around spreading it . All because they were afraid of hospital charges if tested positive and quarantined . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Pipat with you opening up Phuket as a tourist destination, your entertainment buddies just screwed themselves again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
