Hotel operators in Phuket say they are ready to reopen and have prepared measures to receive foreign visitors when the island province reopens under the Phuket Tourism Sandbox scheme on Thursday.
The Bangkok Post talked to several hotel operators on the southern island about what they have done to prepare themselves to curb the spread of Covid-19 when Phuket reopens.
While Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday affirmed the government will proceed with the sandbox plan, he said health measures must be good enough to prevent Covid-19 from spreading.
Boonsong Suratod, front office manager of the Cape Panwa Hotel, said the hotel has been approved by the Amazing Thailand Safety & Health Administration and the sandbox programme to welcome foreign visitors from Thursday.
“All workers here have been vaccinated and rooms, restaurants and other facilities have been made ready to serve foreign tourists. We have already trained our workers to strictly follow health measures against Covid-19,” he said.
