    Bangkok to join Sandbox scheme from 1 October

    First there was 1 followed by 5. Now there’s 1 followed by 10. After the inevitable glitches of the pilot scheme (Phuket) have been identified and addressed, 10 more provinces including Bangkok will be added from 1 October according to an article in the Bangkok Post:

    (I had been hoping to throw in Enid Blyton references to the Famous Five and the Secret Seven but the TAT got the better of me)

    Why do they even call it a sandbox scheme if they don't even bother testing it before finalizing plans for everywhere else?

    That kind of defeats the whole "sandbox" part of the sandbox scheme. Now it's just a scheme.

    Your complete, total and utter ignorance of what a sandbox is, given the widespread use of the term in IT projects, would be breathtaking were it not for the general ignorance you display about most things, IT included. A “sandbox” is a protected environment where users can play around with various use cases so as to have a more robust configuration when the project moves beyond its pilot phase.

    Testing simply demonstrates that the configuration can work, not that its working is optimal.

    Right, so what's the point in having it if you're not even going to use it?

    I’m sure others like me will only come if bars, massage joints and gogo bars are open.

    Does that go hand in and with the Sandpit Scheme?

    If not why not?

    this is Phuket we are talking about - surely that should be Snakepit?
    I can’t even be bothered to be apathetic these days!

    ”Come to Phuket, the Perverts’ Paradise” has a certain ring to it, but I’m not sure it’s a slogan the TAT would be willing to promote.

    As this opinion piece in The Guardian illustrates, it’s not just the Thailand issues that have to be considered when planning the trip
