The government has insisted its plan to reopen Phuket to foreign tourists on July 1 remains on course despite the country facing a third wave of Covid-19.
Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said on Sunday he admitted the current infection rate is threatening the reopening but doubled down on the target, stressing the government would try by all means to see the first foreign arrivals set foot on the island on July 1. We have neither cancelled nor changed it [the plan to reopen Phuket on July 1]. Currently the province is on course to speed up its vaccination programme as its inhabitants prepare to reopen and receive foreign tourists.
