This is completely irrelevant. We are talking about Phuket. Not Thailand as whole.

Actually, they are published weekly. See the numbers and sources above. You can believe them or not. If you are saying the gov't is lying, then fine. But the numbers are the numbers the gov't has released.

Once again, irrelevant to the topic. However 100,000+ hotel nights were booked and paid for in July. While that might be below expectations, it is likely more nights than they had in a year. Boarding my flight to Phuket soon. Looks pretty darn full.

Wrong. The entire tour group was quarantined. NOT the entire flight. This rumor has been dispelled everywhere, including someone on the flight stating they are roaming free.
