Phuket Sandbox open; TAT awards “Amazing Dodgems” moniker

Agree 100% with goji.

I’m hoping to return, to avoid the UK winter, in either mid November or mid December. That’s 3 or 4 months away and a lot can happen in that time.

If the entertainment areas are still closed I will look elsewhere.

I’m hoping that is not going to be the case.

Interesting Sandbox experience. First time I've seen a video from this channel.

That is a good and informative video. Thanks for posting.

At the beginning I thought this was just another whiny-voiced net-nerd vloging useless trash, but I stuck with it and I came to like his presentation style and enjoyed hearing his first-hand experience - from someone it seems who had no previous experience of Thailand. Recommended.

The rape and murder of a Swiss lady tourist in Phuket is likely to hurt the Sandbox nonsense rather badly I think. RIP poor lady.

Interesting that the BBC etc aren't (yet) referring to any possible rape allegation there yet though and indeed aren't even reporting that the lady was murdered (yet) but merely that she was found dead and are quoting that an autopsy report is due later.

I see though that they are reporting that "local officials" are taking about it being murder and that the Thai foreign ministry have already sent their condolences on the "murder" of a Swiss national to the Swiss Ambassador. So it seems that someone in Thailand isn't "on message" to "say nothing until we find out what happened here" quite yet perhaps.

Interesting Sandbox experience.

Thanks for posting.

Very informative video, but no surprise for those of us who live in Thailand who knew how screwed up this Sandtrap would become.

Anyone considering visiting Phuket in 2021 should watch this video first - and then book their tickets for somewhere else.

As a side note: The guy who recorded this video has the patience of a saint.

Below is another video shot by a tourist caught in the Phuket Sandtrap.

He mentions the word "closed" about 30 times and then the video ends.

Come on Brad (the Dali Impala), I'm sure the tourists that made the mistake of going would love to hear your explanation as to how this Sandtrap was actually a huge success.

Perhaps it was a quicksand trap and it swallowed steviewonders.

I agree with Nirish guy, there should be more "like" options. I would have given this one a

Here’s a much more upbeat report on a sandbox trip to Phuket.
