grumbleweed Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Considering the objective, expect the next statement to be something along the lines of... "Covid, what Covid? No person (above the age of 90 and accompanied by both parents) has ever tested positive on this wonderful scam free island" Or they could do as they did with the prison population and "forget" to include certain groups, such as those who live on the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yesterday's 2 cases and the continuing low numbers on the island seems to have sent the "exponential spread" crowd running for the hills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uroller Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The opening of Phuket to tourists is a farce and distraction from the truth???? Anybody coming here to Amber rated Thailand (generous rating), from UK, Canada, US and Europe will be required to quarantine upon their return to home country for 14 days in most cases.............. nice way to end your vacation. Also what exactly will be open as most staff have left Phuket heading back to their villages???? I have not read any scientific evidence that vaccinated people cannot still carry and spread the virus to non vaccinated people and I heard the aim was to have 70% of people in Phuket vaccinated ( very optimistic), so 30% will be at risk???? Oh, and direct flights to Phuket start when? If flying into BKK don’t they then have to quarantine???? I could be wrong but July opening for Phuket appears to be a pipe dream with no tobacco????

zhounan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 it is still too early. Wait about two weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuandjulie Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It really doesn't matter if Phuket gets to 0 cases if the rest of Thailand has growing numbers. Other Countries wont say it is ok to go to Phuket but not Thailand. It was suggested for Majorca in Spain as it is an island with low cases but it was dropped. I can see no reason why Phuket will be thought of as different to a Spanish Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to mention everything related to Covid in every article...be some pretty long articles. The information is available online if you want it.

xylophone Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Phuket new COVID cases plunge for second consecutive day. Cases are plunging because the hierarchy want them to, and this is quite possibly backed up by a lack of/no real testing, so as per usual here, no one knows quite what is going on. Of course I want the poor Thai folk here on the island to benefit from some tourism cash, but not at the cost of contracting a virus, and possibly spreading it.

Bradmeister Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Plunged? Who writes this drivel. No one is in Phuket anymore. Between harassing its residents and losing money from the hospitality industry..... (obviously not being hospitable) it continues to spite itself with discrimination and racism. Many people have returned from Phuket in the last several weeks describing it as nothing less than a Ghost Island. Majority of businesses are closed. Especially among entertainment and tour/events opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
