Re: Phuket Sandbox open; TAT awards “Amazing Dodgems” moniker
Remember those scoffing posts that no one would play in the Sandbox? I recall even my #1 fan* posted a silly comment about only 28 people. According to the Bangkok Post more than 1,300 arrived in the first 3 days:

* gerefan2. Does that mean he’s my #1 fan but Richard Gere’s #2 fan? Or I’m first in his heart and Richard Gere merely second? Or does the “2” simply stand for “too”?

None of that rambling nonsense.

I wonder how many tourists realised that if they arrived as part of a tour group and one member tested positive they’d all be locked up. Amazing Thailand.

There are advantages in being a misanthrope.

I thought ALL ARRIVING tourists in Phuket HAD TO 14 day quarantine anyway???

Significant difference between required to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days, and being able to quarantine throughout Phuket for 14 days.
Misanthropes would probably enjoy Phuket more than usual currently given the absence of hoards of tourists!

The whole idea of the Sandbox scheme is instead of quarantining in one hotel room, Phuket becomes a quarantine island and you can travel anywhere on it.
So much more attractive than hotel quarantine.
If nothing changed between now and December, I'd be doing the sandbox scheme for the winter holiday. In practice, there will be lots of changes, in Thailand and elsewhere.
