Phuket Open for Tourism in July 2021?

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing the prospect of Phuket still being opened for tourism in July of 2021. A recent article from the Bangkok Post print edition, this was Saturday May 8, 2021, the article is titled: Phuket to Re-open as Planned. Quoting directly: "The Government still intends to press ahead with its plan to re-open Phuket to foreign tourists on July 1 despite battling another surge of COVID-19 infections."  Quoting further: "The Government's Committee on National Tourism policy chaired by Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn yesterday confirmed the plan made before the new outbreak of COVID-19 struck Bangkok and other parts of the country early last month will still be implemented." So apparently they are moving ahead on this. I urge those who are watching this video to go check out that article. You can probably find it in bangkokpost.com.

Basically where we are at on this is that yes it looks like they are still pushing ahead. Now presumably based on what we have been seeing from other news reports, they are saying that they are going to have at least a substantial number of vaccines available for folks here in Thailand by the end of May, early June; that seems to be what is being said. Now whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen but it seems that a month after that, July 1, yeah we could perhaps see some sort of re-opening. I would especially think, again this is speculation on my part, but I would especially think that those who have already been vaccinated abroad will probably be able to come in at that point with less restrictions. 

Now again, all of this remains to be seen. We have seen this fluctuate. We have seen this situation be very fluid in the past few months, so we will certainly be providing further updates on this channel and we will keep those updates coming as the situation evolves.
