State of the local sea

The other day, I went diving toward Rachanoi Island.
Recently, the weather in Phuket has collapsed on weekends, but unfortunately it has been cloudy since the morning. However, let's leave it as Yoshi even if it didn't rain.

By the way, in the sea, although the open ocean makes a little wave, there is no problem if it enters the big island shadow.
There were many Thai guests from Bangkok on that day, and the boat was a little crowded.

In the sea, it's not as refreshing as Rachanoi Blue, but the average is usually higher on the east side, so it's as usual.

And diving in Rachanoi Bay after a long absence.
For me, I visited the white sand point, which I think is the most beautiful of all the dive sites in Phuket, for the first time in a while. The water depth is shallow, but if the sun shines well here! something like that. It was a little difficult to stay slowly because the timing was like a strange reversal flow.

This is a healing point that you want to relax while underwater.

Although it is still a little limited, diving boats also depart every day.

Trendy Cafe's in Rice fields

Coffeeshops and cute cafe's situated in the rice fields are trending for Thai youngsters and hipsters. They are one of the instagrammable places where you can see group shots and selfies of people sipping lattes and strolling along boardwalks above rolling ricefields.

I have picked some cafes and restaurants set in scenic rice paddies that are within easy reach of Bangkok
Meena cafe (Kanchanaburi) a wooden walkway stretches into the field and faces the Tiger Cave Temple.
Rakna (Ayutthaya) and Baan Pai Na (Nakorn Pathom) are cafe's and restaurants that serves food and drinks while patrons walk across a boardwalk stretching into the paddy. The venue also offers a drone service to take pictures of the customers from above with THB40 per image

Thailand launches "We Travel Campaign"

The Thai government has implemented the "We travel together campaign" also known in Thai as "Rau Thiaw Duaykan Campaign". The main aim is to boost domestic tourism and support the local economy.
The Thai travel industry has been affected severely from the covid situation, as international visitors are banned from entering the Kingdom of Thailand. After several months of non domestic corona cases, the Thai government has implemented a travel campaign that has funded 22.4 billion baht to subsidize air tickets, hotel, food and travel expenses. The main aim is to boost travel confidence among Thai travelers, they can benefit from attractive rates, free hotel upgrades and 40% discounts on airfares, hotels, restaurants and other travel activities

Over 5 million Thais have registered and take this opportunity of timing to re-explore the homeland and rediscover the tranquil beaches and how nature and wildlife restore itself from mass tourism.

The other day, I went to Coral Island Tour.
It was a plan that was changed to diving in a hurry, but this was also the first time in a while on Coral Island diving.

While the regulations are still continuing and there are few guests, I feel a little lonely, but in a sense it is a private reservation state.

On the day of the trip, you can enjoy a pleasant diving blessed with the weather and sea conditions, and stay in the sea and island with almost all reserved, you can fully enjoy the feeling of a tropical resort.

Latest COVID-19 conditions

translated by google

Yesterday, according to the announcement of the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), the Thai COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has extended the emergency order from August 31 to one month and extended it to September 30. It seems that it will be done and will be approved by the cabinet in the future.

A scene of the local town Originally, in an area crowded with locals, shopping centers, local restaurants, local markets, etc. were opened as usual, and the market was also crowded with locals, regaining the normal lifestyle rhythm. I am.

Scenery of tourist spots In the tourist spots (spots), we can see Thai tourists from time to time, but in the city there are few people who go by and there are many stores that have been left shuttered. 15 to 5 weekends each. The "Phuket Seafood & Gastronomy Festival" is held and there is a festival offering seafood dishes and seasonal international dishes. The venue seems to change every weekend.
It is one of the attractions of the local area, which is not familiar to Thai tourists.
