Foreign tourists unhappy over 14-day mandatory stay under Phuket sandbox


BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Many foreigners took to the Facebook group “Phuket Sandbox – Better Phuket By I Asia Thailand” to express discontent and opposition to the latest regulation that requires international tourists to stay in the province for 14 days under the sandbox scheme before they can travel to other provinces.

The Centre for Economic Situation Administration last Friday (June 4) approved the launch of the Phuket tourism sandbox from July 1 after the centre changed the requirement from a 7-day mandatory stay to 14 days to ensure foreign visitors are free of Covid-19.
