reader Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 From Bangkok Post Hua Hin is ready to follow the government's reopening plan and target vaccinated tourists without quarantine requirements in October under the Hua Hin Recharge campaign. Krod Rojanastien, a member of the committee of Thai Chamber of Commerce, who is leading the collaboration from the private sector, said Hua Hin has the potential to be included in the reopening plan due to its reputation for wellness tourism and as a long-stay destination only a few hours away from Bangkok. Under Hua Hin Recharge plan, the pilot areas will cover Hua Hin Municipality and the Nong Kae district, a total area of 86.36 sq km with 182 registered hotels. Similar to the Phuket sandbox model, tourists with proof of vaccination will be able to take flights to Suvarnabhumi Airport or a private jet to Hua Hin airport. They will have to pass an RT-PCR test upon arrival and must activate Thailand Plus, a tracing application before transferring to hotels via private vehicle. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2105995/hua-hin-may-allow-foreign-tourists-soon Quote
PeterRS Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Having spent a week in Hua Hin at the end of November last year, the city desperately needs tourists. But then, so does the entire country. Hua Hin was dead. Even in our large chain hotel, it felt dead, the only other visitors being Thai families. I wished we had opted instead for a small guest house on or close to the beach. Quote
