From August 1st, the Thai government will allow the opening of six more islands as part of the so-called sandbox program.
On Thursday, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Ngai and Koh Railay in Krabi Province and Khao Lak, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai in Phang Nga Province received the go-ahead der-farang.com reported. It is planned that fully vaccinated foreign tourists will only be allowed to travel to these destinations after a seven-day stay on Phuket and a negative test. Island hopping is therefore not unconditionally possible.
