Common Sense Finally? TAT Boss Says Cities' Quarantine, 'Sealed Routes' Plans Could Be Ditched
After months of short-sighted and overly cautious programs and proposals, a glint of common sense popped from the mouth of a senior Thailand tourism official, suggesting the country may ditch differing and restrictive city reopening plans and go with one standardized system for welcoming back foreign tourists.
Tourism Authority of Thailand Gov. Yuthasak Supasorn told reporters Tuesday that government officials are reconsidering having individual cities create their own models for reopening to fully vaccinated foreign tourists and instead go with a "One SOP, One System" policy.
Yet another acronym for politicians and bureaucrats to bandy about, OSOS would replace city-based plans for mandatory quarantines and unpopular "sealed routes" and halve the cost for Covid-19 tests.
Yuthasak said the reopening plans for Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Cha-am and Bangkok will be submitted to the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration next week, seeking to receive inoculated tourists from Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, while "Samui Plus" program will morph into a quarantine free "sandbox".
