what's up everyone welcome back again into yet another vlog from let's talk thailand
it's another beautiful friday and here we are it's been more than one week
for phuket reopening and is this phuket sandbox model working any answers
sorry we need answers from earth not from space so in today's vlog we are going to talk about
what's really happening inside phuket sandbox model what are the complications and what are
the expectations also about the opening possible dramas yes dramas because it's like a korean drama
one day is open the second day is closed one day is one week the second day is two weeks
and at the last part i am going to answer all of your questions throughout this week
so it will be a very interesting vlog let's start it right now intro please
so as i said my friends it's been more than one week for the reopening of pockets
so if we are going to talk about numbers since july 1
more than 2000 international travelers arrive to phuket international airport
so after checking their documents these travelers had their first pcr test
and after that they have been taken to their hotels waiting for the results
now of course after they had their results and it was negative they were free to go
out and enjoy everything in the island from the beautiful shores maybe the open restaurants and
whatever it is available now in phuket and they started their vacation in this beautiful island
so this is what's really happening now with all the travelers that are in phuket island
they are trying to enjoy their vacation they still
have one week and after that they are free to go wherever they want in thailand
but before we tell that it was a happy ending story there was
a complication that happened among the travelers this week in the island
so what was the complication that has occurred this week in the island
one of the travelers between the arrivals after the pcr test the result was positive
so what happened that the medical team directly contacted the hotel and told about the situation
and this person was taken to the hospital
but the real problem was not that this person has arrived in a group tour and
everybody in this group were obliged to be quarantined
14 days in the hotel before they can be free again so as you see the problem is
not only with the infected person also with all the people that were in that group tour
so this was a summary about what's happening in phuket sandbox now
now let's jump into our community question which was
is phuket's sandbox model working or it should be adjusted let's talk about it
according to your answers 99.99 were saying the phuket sandbox model is not working
because of the complications the requirements and extra expenses so it should be adjusted
so what could be adjusted in this model so that it could attract
more tourists and make the plan more lively
so most of you has answered that it's because of the two weeks obligatory stay in the island so
they said that if it's one week it's more suitable for you to come and enjoy a vacation in phuket
but two weeks is a very long time that's very complicated for the most of the travelers because
they don't have that much time to spend only in phuket island now the second answer was about the
extra pcr test after their arrival most of them suggested that since they are vaccinated and they
have vaccine proofs they can do a pcr test before departure and another pcr test once they arrived
to the airport but the other extra pcr test they think that it's extra cost and money for them
now the third and most common answer was that most of you are going to wait and
see what will happen next and also wait all these complications and regulations removed
once and for all so that you can travel back to thailand and enjoy a beautiful vacation
so as you see the majority are observing and waiting to see what will happen next
and once all the regulations and obligations and complications are removed and after that they are
ready to jump into the plane and come to thailand in order to enjoy a vacation that is worth it
so as you see fellas this is what's happening till now i will be updating you about
more details from phuket sandbox model also how pattaya is getting ready to do what phuket is
doing now besides what are the possible opening drawings that could happen in thailand so i hope
