On another note, why should anybody expect going on holiday to have bars, restaurants, discos open, I mean it's just selfish!.....and make sure you mask up going to the beach or it's 20,000 baht fine! Avoid the airport guys, it's going to be a busy one with all these tourists flocking in. More like flicking out of Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not justifying the Pattaya falang and Thai ber owners's disregard for rules just pointing out the reality of the situation. Bangkok too. Recently been imbibing in beer, babes & billiards under above conditions in 2 bars in BKK. Wonderful to have a bit of normalcy and human interaction again!

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 Those of you living in Phuket may have noticed a marked increase in the sound of ambulance sirens this morning. This is because large numbers of them are en route to the meeting where this decision was taken, to treat and collect all the jolly important and wise decision makers who have just machine gunned their feet! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeline Thompson Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Perhaps there never has been a 'sandbox' tourist project - a friend of mine in London was trying to get a tourist visa using the 'sandbox' program and the Thai Embassy in London has never been officially informed of that operation. To this day, the Embassy only knows what is in the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SuwadeeS Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 I would not recommend to do any vacation in Thailand for many reasons. 1. The government is not reliable on real information. 2. They lie very often to the public. 3. They always change there rules on daily base. Today so and tomorrow the other way. 4. They are very slow in rollout the vaccination. e.g. As they announced 2 weeks ago, they said to vaccinate all teacher within 2 weeks before the schools open on 14th of Juni. That did not happen, so the government produce fake news by themself. 5. All the government officials are not trustworthy at all. If you want to go on a holiday, there are thousands and thousands of better places, who really warmly welcome you as guest and not see you only as an ATM. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SlyouThai Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) I saw so many thai people rushing into getting vaccines in the hope they can reoopen their business and survive . They gonna get what they called " herd imunity " very soon in Phuket and they still gonna keep all bars/clubs closed ? Thats nuts. I feel so bad for many people here that were still surviving and waiting for this... What a joke .... But keep Central festival open offcourse , this is allright you morons .

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) More non science based, brain dead, fearful, timid, "let us sabotage tourism as much as possibly" policy. If the tourists are coming from abroad, and they have been both fully vaccinated and tested negative for Covid (both are requirements of the sandbox scheme), there is little to no chance of Covid transmission. Therefore why punish the bar owners, and the tourists both? And I wonder if these clowns have considered the fact that a limited number of tourists are interested in visiting a place with NO nightlife. And what do you want to bet they will leave the "no alcohol can be consumer in restaurants, because it causes a zombie effect" restriction in place, on top of the other nonsense? Expect this dumb restriction to reduce the potential of 5,000 tourists in July, down to 2,200. And just a quick question. He says due to recent clusters the bars will not re-open. So, if that is science based, shouldn't they close the pineapple plants and prisons too, that have seen major clusters?

shackleton Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I think we should wait and see how many tourists will come to Phuket in July and from which countries Then gauge if the sandbox idea is a success ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
