No room for Phuket lapsesThe Phuket Sandbox is set to be a high-stakes experiment to test the waters and see if the government's plan to reopen the country by October will ever see the light of day. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha affirmed the government will proceed with the tourism sandbox plan on condition that health measures are strictly implemented to prevent Covid-10 from spreading. The PM is expected to kick off the Phuket Sandbox tomorrow when the island will start welcoming tourists who have been vaccinated and certified to be Covid-19 free without quarantine. Under the plan, the sandbox will go ahead after 70% of people in Phuket have been vaccinated. That is why it is crucial for authorities to leave no room for lapses as they put the sandbox model into motion.
