My prediction is Phuket tourism will not be solid until January 2022 or later.

In other news, I have my Shaba hotel QR code thingy. I booked the room for two guests, was asked for the details of the second guest and replied 'Booked for two in case I want to bring back an overnight visitor. ' Nothing was said.
Suck it and see. Not convinced I'll actually be flying on Wednesday.

Posts: 492What's your prediction?
Is the sandbox going to be a success or failure? Will tourists come back? I think I read that Phuket wants 1500 tourists a day. I think the rules they have set up are ridiculous. It seems they want tourist money but don't want tourists. I predict it's a failure. It will take a couple months for Thailand to say that then a few months to change, then that won't be anything good either. My prediction is Thailand gives up and let's people in sometime next year. Until then Thailand stays dead. Treating tourists like they are on parole isn't what tourists want.
What's your prediction?

Just read this: https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tour...phuket-sandbox.
Anyone recall that US TV comedy series "Soap". At the end of the introductory credits which gave an update of previous episodes, a voiceover said, "Confused? You will be"! And so I am.
There is even a suggestion that if you bring your long-term Farang partner with whom you've had a couple of children, you may be obliged to to use separate rooms because you are not married for the first 14 days.
I think TH needs to add a new subject to it's Educational Subjects: Joined up thinking.

Just read this. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...vals-in-phuket.
Problem for me is that I can't book a ticket on Thai airways commencing in DUB. I would need to book separate tickets for each leg. Years ago, I was only too happy to book separate flights because I could often save €50 +, but since I moved to Ireland, I've missed three connections to SEA, two of which were bought on multi-tickets. On all three flights, I was stuck in London for the night, and on the two with separate tickets, the rules did not let me claim compensation.
I think I might postpone booking any tickets until I can book a complete itinerary ticket.
BTW, I notice that the BKK post article was based on a statement by the Phuket Governor, and it makes no mention of accommodating overnight guests. An oversight? What do you think? I'm guessing that in a previous life he may have been a doorman at a Patpong scam joint who "forgot" to mention that there are "no beautiful ladies upstairs".

Show pictures, we can all chime in.
A True Stunner, one that Thai elite go for is nowhere near 1.5 k.
A Stunner found in a Beer Bar by an old German- definitely 1.5 is OK.

I sure hope it is. I've got about 20 girls on the hook. Some real stunners and not offered over 1500 baht. Never been to Thailand, my research is telling me that's cheap for the quality of girl.

Posts: 260COE application website has updated, showing a message that COE applications for the Phuket Sandbox will start on Monday, 12 pm Thai time.
I have flexible flights and SHA+ booking, covid test booked the day before flying to give me a couple days flexibility.
All very touch and go, but if it's a possibility, I'm going. I've spent too long trapped either at sea or on this dull and miserable little island. I'll update you guys with boots on the ground.

But no way with all the paperwork and then quarantine.
Once in what's there to do?
The girls are growing rice and tending to their Buffaloes.
We are the dirty foreigners,. They don't want any part of us right now.
Chill people.

I think my plans have just gone into hold mode.
