Because at that time, it was the seasonal storm period of the Andaman Sea. When tourists travel to the island, Thailand will provide short-term assistance in transportation costs, such as reducing or exempting tickets or participating in preferential activities, or the Tourism Bureau will support tourists' travel expenses-at present, this is only in the proposal stage. If subsidized, it will be this domestic flight of Thailand, with the aim of encouraging tourists to continue to travel in Thailand (or cancel it).
Recently, under some domestic pressure, Thailand has made a timetable to gradually open to foreign tourists. From 10 to 1, foreign tourists with COVID-19 vaccination certificates do not need to be isolated when they enter the six tourist areas of Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Pattaya.
Thailand's plan is:
The first phase (April-June) plans to attract about 6,543,800 foreign tourists (an average of about 3,500 tourists per month);
From the middle of this year to the end of this year, isolation measures will be relaxed in Bangkok, Krabi, Panya, Surat, Wuli and Chiang Mai, which is expected to achieve the goal of attracting 6.5 million tourists to Thailand.
However, in recent days, the epidemic situation in Thailand is not optimistic, and cluster infection suddenly appeared in Bangkok. Many senior officials, famous businessmen and stars have been infected.
Some senior officials went to Bangkok's famous entertainment night, and the online celebrity female publicist was exposed to COVID-19 that night.
The biggest "epicenter" was a nightclub in Tonlo, Bangkok (the most famous "Japanese area" in Bangkok), where more than 40 people were infected by a concentrated explosion.
College students and Japanese in Bangkok became the core victims of the epidemic. Among the cases found by Wu Li in a warm climate, "most of them are Japanese on business trips". On April 3rd, COVID-19 was confirmed by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Because most of the epidemic occurred at night, and most Japanese cases were infected at night in Tongluo area, the news that "the Japanese minister was recruited" suddenly caused many associations.
Accompanying wine is a normal welfare recognized by Japanese office workers (expenses can be reimbursed by the company), and it is not surprising that nightclub parties are diagnosed.
Yesterday, Thailand declared the Songkran Festival celebrations invalid.
