Phuket officials add new layers of restrictions, Central closed for 7 days

[Thaiger]

It’s starting to get real in Phuket.  New measures have been announced to further restrict the gathering places for people. Meanwhile, for now, the Sandbox continues unabated. The new restrictions are effective until at least August 2. The province has already surpassed its threshold of 90 cases in a week, earlier cited as the upper limit before the government would reconsider the current Sandbox, before the start of the program on July 1. Here’s a breakdown of the new restrictions announced from today… Schools According to Phuket Provincial Order No. 4158/2564, all educational and teaching institutions on the island will […]

Don't worry TAT will subsidise even more Israelis to come just to Phuket just to save face, no doubt in deal that will allow a few more hundred Thai workers to go and work in Israel, of course only through well connected agents naturally.

What you trying to tell me? They closed Central for cleaning purposes, give me a break tell the real story

“the numbers are not a factor to discontinue the Sandbox” - of course they are not. It was always a given Thai officials would move the goal posts if and when it became necessary. The only real question is how far and how many times.

Really?

 

So with 125 infections, which is 35 over the previously set limit of 90, getting real means closing two shopping malls to clean them and limiting groups to 100 at any event?

 

Wow.   We'll just have to agree to differ on that one, @Thaiger.

I live in Phuket and I can't keep track of the restrictions anymore. Welcome to the Magic Kingdom...

So, all these additional restrictions, give tourists even less to do! 

You would expect that this, and the weekly infection rate well exceeding the magical 90 in a week, would be enough to hammer the final nail into the tourism coffin.

But wait, let's move the goal posts.

The governor states, numbers are not  a determining factor.

Well that makes it OK then.

All that's required now, is to get enough mugs to fall for this crap, and then lock the whole island down!

Hey Hoe.

Thanks very much for these updates.  The international travelers safety guidelines seem complicated but necessary.  I hope that by October, when I will need to make a decision whether or not to visit Thailand (Lanta) this winter, the restrictions will still be safe but perhaps simpler.   Best wishes to all and appreciation to Thai authorities as they strive to protect Thailand from this terrible pandemic.
