Only provinces with 70% of the population vaccinated can welcome foreign tourists
Phuket’s Nai Harn beach is empty during the tourism slowdown.
The plan to reopen the country comes with conditions, with a major requirement that only provinces that have vaccinated 70% of their population will be allowed to open completely, according to a Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) meeting.
In addition, the Phuket sandbox tourism model could be paused on short notice if infections spike to 90 cases per week.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday announced a 120-day deadline for the country to reopen to international tourists and the return of normal business conditions.
