Bubbles in Thailand–  Patong Beach on Phuket Island is cordoned off from the public on June 8, 2020. BANGKOK — The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand on Wednesday postponed the much publicized proposal to allow foreign tourists to visit the country during the pandemic without having to go through quarantine.

Agency director Chula Sukmanop said the government is concerned about the possible “second wave” of coronavirus if the border is open. Officials have been placing their hope on the so-called travel bubble agreement – which would allow tourism exchanges with countries where the outbreak appears to be under control – to revive the crippled tourism industry.

“The travel corridor was postponed indefinitely as those countries [in the agreement] are facing a renewed surge of infections,” Chula said.
