Sandbox now open to everyone
Fully vaccinated travellers from “any country in the world” can now book holidays in Phuket and other provinces taking part in the sandbox scheme, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) says.
The change will allow previously excluded Indonesians and Malaysians, among many others, to travel to the southern resort island and some of its neighbours.
Before the pandemic, Malaysia was the country’s second biggest source of tourists, with more than 4 million arrivals or 10% of the global total in 2019.
