Popular Post FiveStarVagabond Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Would somebody please explain what this term "sandbox" actually means? Does it simply refer to an area that has a beach? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kalorymetr Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) They mean - all of the Phuket Island. This term is widely used in software for isolated testing enviroment for security treats. Doesn't have anything to do with the sand.

Popular Post Polar Bear Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's an IT term for an isolated system where you can experiment and test stuff out without risking messing up the real set-up. It's a sandbox because you can 'play' in it, like kids play in a real sandbox. Now, it seems to get used for any sort of isolated testing/practice/experimental situation. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to look really modern using 1990s technology terms. Next week I expect they'll upgrade the forms to Adobe Flash..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post inThailand Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 Sandbox is a nice word for a liter box. Which is appropriate since Phuket is going right down the shi.ter. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Basically what it means is that whatever sandbox area you go to you will not be allowed to travel outside of it. So if there is a virus outbreak it will be contained in just that area. That's the theory anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippytum Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 A sandbox with regards to Phuket is similar to a 'kitties litter box ' Deposits of misinformation are deposited and removed on a daily basis by desperate officials trying to lure tourists to return to the island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabas Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The original term sandbox is from 20th century N. America. We had a sandbox when growing up. This meaning may be more appropriate to the Phuket sandbox organizers. 1. North American a shallow box or hollow in the ground partly filled with sand for children to play in. 2. Computing a testing environment in a computer system in which new or untested software can be run securely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookChang Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 According to Thaiest.com, Phuket Sandbox is a new program that should allow foreign travelers who are fully vaccinated to enter Thailand without quarantine. The program is scheduled to start on 1 July 2021, before Thai borders will be fully reopened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can all move about freely in the Phuket sand box for seven days, spreading the virus around, then some of the sandbox tourists can travel to Bangkok? And do the hotel staff never leave the sandbox environment? It's more of a sandseive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's a designated place in a park where you can take your dog for a d**p. There is one round the corner...and yes it has sand in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
