Phuket has unused prison? Isn't it ironic?

Just in time too, now that they have cracked 100 …. Now it is time for them to be put in the RED club.

So , Phuket has the Covid 19 situation under control.

Governor why not use the many closed hotel and give people better support and conditions,not good image    for sandbox

[Nivram]

I agree with Harry.  The big hotels should give back to the community and forget about the almighty dollar.

Sandbox needs 2 elements.

- tourists

- healthy Thai people to service the tourists
