Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
When Thailand temporarily suspended the test-and-go program, Ratchaporn Poonsawat, chairman of the Koh Samui Tourism Association, mentioned that the number of tourists had decreased by up to 30%.
The chairman also mentioned that he had spoken with Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn and pointed out that the expected tourist numbers might not be reached. For this reason, he had proposed to the government that the test-and-go program be reintroduced in the third quarter of this year.
Krabi
A total of 84 hotels have agreed to make 10% of their rooms available to tourists infected with COVID-19. This adds approximately 3,000 hospital rooms and 2,000 alternative quarantine (AQ) rooms to the province's capacity.
Sasithorn Kittidhrakul, president of the Krabi Tourism Association, mentioned that many tourists still have numerous questions about the rules and restrictions following the suspension of operations. She noted that this is due to a lack of communication, particularly in light of a similar case in Phuket, where there had been a misunderstanding regarding procedures.
Phang-Nga
Between 200 and 300 visitors travel to Phang-Nga daily, spending an average of 5,000 baht. Before the pandemic, 80% of visitors came from abroad, mainly from the UK, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries, while 20% were Thai. After the outbreak of Covid-19, this ratio reversed.
