We will see.  But remember when they say 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated, for purposes of whether Phuket is ready for the Sandbox to start, people who are fully vaccinated are counted AND people who have received just one (1) dose of AstraZeneca are also counted.  

So at the time the data for this graphic were produced Phuket was a lot closer to the 61% than the 28.  The data is a few days old and vaccination has been ongoing daily.

What about the possibility of the administration deliberately trying to sabotage tourism, so their rich friends can come in and swoop up resort properties at 60% off?

 

Too cynical? Impossible? Hope so. But, with these creeps, the moral degradation seems to know no bounds. 

 

And common sense, logic, and reason, do not seem to apply to any aspect of this fiasco.

I know some Thais who put their life savings into trying to save their businesses on Samui. And failed, as every effort was sabotaged by Pratin. Same applies to Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi, Lanta, CM, and other spots.

 

 

 

This is a national tragedy. And who is to blame? Well, the spread could have likely been contained back in December with a 14 day, 2km. radius (of the seafood market area with 900 plus infections in one day) lockdown of Samut. So, the Pratin pair are to blame. Fair and square. Entirely on their small and feeble shoulders. Take the heat boys. You messed up badly.

This these guys, one wishes it were only incompetence at play. However, when you are playing with an industry that represents $110,000,000,000 a year in revenue for the Thai economy, a full 20% of the total, there has to be more in play, than simple incompetence. The agenda has to be more sinister and far reaching. 

 

Nothing else makes sense. It does feel like some form of sabotage. Whether or not it was deliberate, will we ever know?
