Is Phuket ready for reopening to tourists amidst COVID-19 concerns?

Wow! The nation is saved.

Look at the European Covid infection rates now going through the roof after the European summer holidays. Thailand would just be importing this problem. People will just break quarantine.

Hahahaha....that should help the economy....thats the smallest test group,i ever heard...what can they learn from that???

Cash before life

A smack in the face to those trying to get home to their wives and families.

The blind leading the blind

Somebody put to many deckchairs out,.....

Phuket.

Maybe an authorized technical landing..... just to try the "emotion" of a thai quarantine and after continue to Cambodia....

Wow, this ought to get the economy rolling again!!! ROTFL... and no new resulting covid19!!

4 French, 2 French + 2 Thai... it was a test run, it wasn't a test run... ordinary arrival? repatriation flight with private jet? why they stayed at quarantine and left immediately after that?

What a weird story... 🤔🤔🤔

Quote: "Khaosod English reports that on August 14, the 2 arrived on a flight carrying 2 repatriating Thai nationals. They were admitted to a quarantine hotel, where they spent 14 days, before departing Thailand for Cambodia on August 29, according to Thanee. He says media reports that the pair were smuggled into the country as part of a trial of the much-hyped “Phuket Model” are false."

Quote: "Four French tourists recently arrived in Phuket on a private jet and were approved to enter Thailand by the CCSA, to test the readiness of COVID-19 preventive measures on the resort island ahead of a wider reopening to foreign tourists, said Phuket Governor Narong Woonsiew on Wednesday."

Quote: "Meanwhile, Sub-Lt Thanee Chuangchoo, director of Phuket international airport, said that Phuket had been chosen for the trial opening of the country to foreign tourist arrivals, with the four French tourists being the first, with the consent of both the CCSA and the Thai Foreign Ministry."

Quote: “We didn’t announce to the public earlier since it was only an ordinary arrival,” Thani said, adding that the trip was approved by the government’s pandemic response center."

Why stop in Thailand if that is not your final destination ?

Lol lol that will fix it.

Four French tourists on a private jet got quarantine and then flew to Cambodia, they are trolling, lol.
