you know like one of the best things i love in thailand is the 7-eleven because they open 24
over 7 and they sell almost everything i need but nowadays they are closing at 9pm
and that makes me feel so sad how can i get something after 9pm if i forgot
what's the problem thailand let's talk about it right now
what's up everyone welcome back again into yet another episode from let's talk thailand
it's another beautiful friday and in today's vlog we are going to talk about phuket sandbox
and is that the only way to reopen thailand after that the capital city the curfews the red zones
and how this equation of reopening does not work without the capital city i mean no bangkok no
reopening also at the end we are going to talk about pattaya and if pattaya can make another
sandbox like phuket is that possible so lots of interesting information let's start it right now
so who's talking about phuket's sandbox plan anymore as you saw in our sunday's updating
vlog that the phuket sandbox plan model is on no matter what and now we have koh samui plus model
which is like phuket sandbox model if you want to stay there you can stay for 14 days
and after that you can travel around thailand freely
but the question is how can you travel around thailand after 14 days in phuket or ko samui
if the situation stays like this in the capital city and the surrounding provinces
so is phuket model sandbox the only way to reopen thailand or it's the only way to make
other provinces to reopen like it did in my opinion i think that this is not the only way
or most successful way after what's happening in the capital city and the surrounding provinces
well according what we see around the world and in most of the regions like europe latin
america and middle east they are welcoming all the vaccinated tourists with a negative pcr test
i think this is the most successful way to attract tourists these days because you cannot
control the situation of the covid completely so they are welcoming the vaccinated tourists with
a negative pcr test and the maximum regulation is two three days and after that you are free
to travel around wherever you are because after what we see what's happening in the capital city
and the surrounding provinces the only way is to open up for tourism is this way unless if
we are going to wait other sandboxes to follow it will take a long time to reopen the country
so here we come to the equation that says no bangkok nori openings without the
capital city the reopening plans could be a little bit harsh and complicated
because not all of the tourists are interested to spend a lot of time in the islands
and after that to visit the surrounding provinces and especially the capital city
now what's the situation in bangkok as you saw on our updating vlog on sunday the partial curfew in
bangkok and the surrounding provinces and the capital city bangkok is almost a sleeping city
after 9 00 pm so if we are going to talk briefly what's happening in the capital city bangkok we
can say that there is no nightlife no gatherings no restaurants and the malls the markets
everything are closing at 9pm even the convenience stores the 7 11 they are closed at 9 00 pm
also the sky train and all the public transportations are stopped at 9 00 pm
so as you see after 9 00 pm there is no action in the capital city
also in the surrounding provinces these regulations will continue
till the beginning of august and after that things can change according what's happening in bangkok
now talking about pattaya can pattaya make another sandbox like phuket to boost up
things in the island and attract international tourists although what we see in the capital city
and the rise of the cases is that possible in pattaya to make another sandbox model
regardless what's happening in the capital city we will see that in the coming months
so my lovely subscribers and viewers as you see things are very complicated because without
the capital city their opening plans and the sandbox models can be in doubt because things
should be back on track in the capital city if we are going to continue our reopening plans
so all in all in my opinion not only in thailand also all around the world
if they open up for vaccinated tourists with pcr tests that will be the only solution for
the time being because if we are going to wait things to be back on track and
everything to be under control it will be a very long time i think this is the only logical way
to open up for tourism these days i hope you enjoyed this vlog there will be more updating
