Thailand bets on “Phuket sandbox” program to save tourism Continued from page 16 and elsewhere have been fully vaccinated. Bars and clubs remain closed, but visitors will be able to go to restaurants and take in shows — once they’re up and running again. At the Phuket Simon Cabaret, a 600-seat venue that has been closed for more than a year, some crew returned in late June to start checking lighting and other systems, while workers spruced up the dresses worn by its transgender dancers, sewing on new glitter and colorful feathers. “We are entering into this fight wanting to win,” owner Pornthep Rouyrin said defiantly, adding that the cabaret would not open immediately and that its dancers might start with smaller shows in hotels and restaurants until larger numbers of tourists start to arrive. The Phuket sandbox is broadly part of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha’s plan announced earlier in June to have Thailand completely reopened within 120 days. Polls suggest about 75% of Thais find that too ambitious, and in recent days coronavirus numbers have been spiking in Bangkok and elsewhere, underlining concerns just as Phuket is to be opened back up. Other Thai destinations are watching Phuket closely, with their own plans to open later in the year or sooner, but with some degree of initial hotel room quarantine. Regionally, popular tourist destinations such as Bali are also keeping an eye on the sandbox as they mull over when they might be able to welcome outside visitors. Nationally, the hotel industry had hoped the sandbox would provide a springboard to other destinations in Thailand when early discussions involved a shorter mandatory stay, but now that it’s 14 days the industry concedes few are likely to have the vacation time to carry further on. At the same time, there’s concern that Thai residents returning home will route through Phuket to take advantage of the more lax rules, putting further stress on the hotels in Bangkok, which have relied on the two-week mandatory quarantines for much of their income during the pandemic, said Marisa Sukosol, president of the Thai Hotel Association. About half of Thailand’s 16,000 hotels are still closed and occupancy rates averaged only 6% in May, she said. “We are on survival mode, and hanging by a thread — literally,” she said in June. Though there are restrictions and it might take time to work out the kinks of reopening, the upside is that visitors will be greeted by a Phuket not seen for decades, thanks to the lack of people over the past year, Lark said. “I’ve even seen sea otters on the beach and I didn’t even know there were sea otters here. I’ve seen pods of dolphins, we’ve noticed an increased diversity of bird species, the coral reefs have not had boats over them — the island has never looked better,” he said. “And the room rates are about half of 2019 and you never have to make a reservation to get a restaurant seat. It is a great time to come.” Rising reported from Bangkok. Associated Press writer Chalida Ekvittayavechnukul in Bangkok contributed to this report.
