Sandbox at risk of collapse after surgePeople are pictured at Karon beach in Phuket on Aug 14, 2021. Thanet Tantipiriyakit, president of the Phuket Tourism Council (PTC), said the latest cases were not caused by tourists but by local activities. It is essential to vaccinate as many local residents as possible to shield them from the virus. With the spikes in local infections, the prospects for the Phuket Sandbox scheme may look dimmer now than when it first started, he said. This is a life-and-death situation for the future of Phuket Sandbox,'' the governor said.
