However, we now have prepared our protection and this situation could prep the country for safe reopening," said Mr Tassapon. "We have our airplanes ready for serving any routes that have passenger demand, but we also anticipate that some important markets, led by China, might not resume international travel in the next few months," he said. According to him, Bangkok and some major provinces, such as Phuket, appear ready for the reopening due to the availability of hospitels and related public services. The reopening, however, needs readiness among all the provinces to curtail the spread of the Covid-19. Mr Sanan also proposed that the government continuously evaluate the country's reopening and have clear communication to build up people's confidence.
