Pattaya s reopening scheme for vaccinated foreign visitors has been selected as the pilot project for non-island provinces, but operators predict demand in the first few months will be patchy as a flip-flop on regulations may derail holiday plans in Thailand. The early stages of reopening will not attract many leisure tourists as it s low season here and some are unsure about inconsistent regulations. We should observe the Phuket sandbox, said Thanet Supornsahasrungsi, acting president of the Chon Buri Tourism Council. The market in the beginning is more likely to be business travellers or Thai returnees who want to skip mandatory quarantine in the capital, opting for a more relaxed location.
