Trang eyes opening door to tourists from Oct 15
Trang’s tourism development committee got together on Thursday to discuss the option of opening the province under a sandbox scheme from October 15.
The meeting was chaired by provincial governor Kajonsak Charoensopha.
The plan to reopen the province is in line with the start of the high season in the Andaman region and will link Trang with Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi and Surat Thani, which are already open.
The committee considered the reopening plan from various aspects, such as tourism routes, application of tourist-tracking technology and the reopening timeline.
