Tipanan observed that the Thai people’s collaboration on efficient public health measures has “supported the tourism industry in its V-shaped comeback and welcomed 10 million visitors by the end of the year.” According to Tipaphan, the “Phuket Sandbox” was responsible for the sluggish recovery of the island province from the impacts of the subsequent Covid-19 outbreak.
