Yes the figures in Phuket are disturbing. Doubling in a week! I'm not going there for the nightlife. For me and my partner,we'll be keeping as far away from Bangla road as possible.

Not good start to opening up Thailand and surely not good start to potentially open all nightlife

If you're referring to the nightlife, vids like this have only been posted for about 4 weeks.
