Opening Phuket and Thailand to travellers and tourists on July 1 | VIDEO

If you’re wanting, or able, to come to Thailand at the moment, the best chance is about to happen. It’s called the Phuket Sandbox, but it’s a pilot program for the rest of Thailand’s tourist areas, and eventually the entire country, to reopen safely for travellers and tourism from July 1. There will be changes to the scheme and additional details coming out over the next month and we will continue to provide you with all this information on thethaiger.com and here on our YouTube channel.
