Phuket hotels fight for their survival as economic fallout is expected

PHUKET: New research by consulting group C9 Hotelworks points to Covid-19’s crippling implications for Phuket hotels with airport arrivals plunging, the Phuket Model stuttering, and 50,000 jobs expected to be lost if there are no overseas visitors this year.

BANGKOK: Susan Field, a British citizen residing in Koh Samui, today presented a petition with almost 65,000 signatures to the Thai Government today asking them to provide urgent financial aid for elephants and their handlers who have received no income since tourists disappeared at the start of COVID-19. “The future for elephants in Thailand looks extremely grim.
