Park visitors enjoy the view from Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest mountain peak.
The Chiang Mai sandbox model will go ahead as planned on Oct 1 and target tourists from Asia as operators expect to receive a windfall from the Phuket sandbox.
Punlop Saejew, president of the Tourism Council of Chiang Mai, said the sandbox will take place in Mae Rim and Mae Taeng districts, which have abundant natural resources but a low population density.
To commence with the plan, the two districts will require around 400,000 vaccine doses for local residents.
