one two three
hello everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful day
as you know lately we are all following up the phuket sandbox model and how things will change
after july 1 and if phuket will open up the way for other provinces to open for tourists
in this vlog we are going to update you about the latest situation in bangkok
the phuket sandbox model approval the requirements for tourists to enter phuket
and the requirements for locals from other provinces in thailand besides what are the
expectations without nightlife moreover how thailand can be ready in 120 days to open up
for vaccinated tourists so lots of interesting informations stay tuned and enjoy till the end
concerning the latest situation in bangkok not much has changed
still the nightlife is closed the massage parlors the entertainment and all unnecessary gatherings
the parks are reopened and some of the businesses are back but all in
all the action is still off to contain the covet situation moreover the vaccination process is on
so that it can be the way to more easing regulations in the capital city bangkok
although lots of complications concerning phuket sandbox plan
from two-week stay in the island the pcr test the closure of nightlife phuket authorities reaffirmed
their readiness to reopen the island to vaccinated foreign tourists starting from july 1.
on june 22 the cabinet approved the phuket sandbox tourism model which is to reopen the island
province on july 1 to fully vaccinated tourists from selected low to medium risk countries to be
followed by a trio destinations in the gulf of thailand on july 15 kosamowi kopanyan and kotao
under the phuket sandbox model foreign arrivals must come from countries
where the kovit 19 situation is under control or the number of infections is moderate or low
they should also had both vaccine doses at least 14 days before traveling to thailand
and the vaccine they received must be authorized by the word health organization
another requirement is covet-free certificate issued within 72 hours of arriving in the country
a covet 19 check will be done on their day of arrival followed by further tests on day
6 and 12th they must also stay and travel inside phuket for 2 weeks and only then they can travel
elsewhere in the country provided all their covet tests produce negative results
those entering the island from other provinces
must have received two doses of sinovac vaccine or one dose of astrazeneca vaccine
or had a pcr negative test 72 hours before their arrival or go into 14 days quarantine
so if they follow the instructions local people willing to join their friends relatives and lovers
can go to phuket and enjoy their vacation with their beloved ones
the tourism authority of thailand has predicted about 129 000 foreign rivals
and that 500 000 thai will also visit phuket in the three months from july to september
pattaya is also on the waiting list and observing phuket closely so that once everything
is okay it will apply the same model and start welcoming tourists but will that be sufficient
if the nightlife is closed since phuket can attract tourists by its shores and
islands but what about pattaya without the nightlife so let's wait and see
now of course as we said in the previous vlog bangkok is a must without the capital phuket
pattaya and all the other provinces cannot be the real magnet for attracting tourists
since the majority love to land in bangkok and after that enjoy if they want the other islands
so will bangkok join the club soon and open up the way in my opinion it could
the big hope is in the coming 120 days starting from july 1 where there could be a turning point
and thailand can open up for tourists without quarantine and with minimum requirements
the coming three months can decide everything and thailand can open up for vaccinated tourists
and refresh the tourism once again now of course this needs time and hard work the vaccination of
the locals on one hand and the vaccination of tourists on the other hand and removal
all the complicated requirements so that tourists can enjoy their vacation without any complications
october till december could be the first phase of the real opening and by that the coming year could
be much more pleasant for all the willing tourists to enter thailand once again and enjoy the old
good days we all have to stay positive and see the bright side of the phuket sandbox model since its
success will is the way to the complete reopening of thailand what we conclude that the situation is
based on two major things the success of phuket plan and the vaccination process both complete
and prepare the way in the coming months to open up thailand and end up the cycle of uncertainty
i hope you enjoyed this vlog and had an idea about the latest situation in thailand all
we hope is the best for thailand and also all the other countries that are struggling to change the
situation for the better thank you for watching stay tuned and subscribe for more from live love
