EdwardV Posted October 13, 2021 #81857 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I thought it was already proven the vast majority of transmission was from locals and not tourists? Yet once again the government wants to make it easy for locals to visit than tourists. At the least they could make it the same for both groups. 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/6622-news-forum-phuket-samui-to-ease-entry-restrictions-for-domestic-tourists-from-this-weekend/#findComment-81857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancev32 Posted October 13, 2021 #82090 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Finally... Domestic travel is addressed! Been locked down in BKK for months unable to go to my place on Samui, even though I was vax'd X 2. Not having that damn swab shoved into my brain anymore!

Paulw Posted October 14, 2021 #82531 Share Posted October 14, 2021 But no mention of lifting the alcohol ban in Restaurants on Samui, Phangan & Ko Tao like Phuket so it must only be restaurant owned alcohol that has the covid virus because you can buy as much as you like from any store!!!
