Someone could have Cyrilled that before they published

The original makes more sense.

UPDATE: Registration closes for Test & Go and Sandbox, except Phuket | Thaiger

Appears back to square one. 2 week quarantine. Suppose the right thing to do but an hope for tourist industry recovery still far off.

**katie23** · 22-12-2021, 07:33 AM

So just to clarify: is it back to 14 days hotel quarantine, unless one goes through the Phuket (or other) sandbox? Thanks.

IMO it is not the right thing to do.
It might slow the arrival of Omicron in Thailand but unless they can stop neighboring countries from getting the Omicron variant, given the porous boarders of Thailand it will soon become the dominant variant here also. So all they are doing is further cripple the tourist industry.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo.

Looks like I'll be headed to Phuket for the first time since 2007

**naptownmike** · 22-12-2021, 07:52 AM

Life is all about timing. And mine rarely works out.

Maybe it will all be over by early Feb.

I have seen 7 to 10 days and 2 week quarantine on different sites so until the "official" version is reported difficult to say for sure.

"Travellers already registered and approved to enter Thailand under the Thailand Pass Test & Go and Sandbox programme will still be able to enter. No more travellers will be able to register after midnight last night. Approved Test & Go travellers will now need to take a second RT-PCR test on their seventh day in Thailand, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in an interview with Thai media."

Any news on the latest arrival requirements?

I think Phuket is out for me as I already booked my ticket to BKK and just don't have the energy left to start changing it all.

Luckily we have Thai government websites to clear things up.

A bit of a setback but sure they will re-open after New Year. My parents are still planning on coming for their yearly 3month siesta and are happy to kickback in Phuket for 10days. If you are coming long term then a week or 10 days on Phuket doesn't seem that much of an obstacle, sadly that is obviously not the majority of tourists. I have a strong feeling they will open again in January but maybe with a 2nd test being another PCR.

Political expediency, or scientific necessity? I think all governments will have this problem for at least the next month or so.
I hope your parents stay turns out ok.

**naptownmike** · 28-12-2021, 07:11 AM

Yes good luck to your parents BC hopefully things do settle a bit after new year.

Luckily I have a bit of time for this latest situation to be figured out.

After working almost 2 years straight maybe a few weeks in a hotel wont be so bad.

**malmomike77** · 28-12-2021, 11:19 AM

Been checking options for the 48 hour pre flight pcr test. I gave the hotel i stayed in a ring to check if they can arrange it. Yes is the answer, just turn up with your passport, results in 12 hours. This was an ASQ near the airport. They have a testing tent set up by the hospital and you go there deal direct and the cost is 1500 thb

Thanks Mike! If you have the time and it doesn't look like Thailand pass is coming back, I would go for it. As I am reading it, vaccinated passengers only do 7 nights in a SHA+ hotel and you must fly directly to Phuket from abroad. The last bit is quite annoying but not the end of the world.

Yea I definitely agree with that. I think a lot of the caution is down to political points scoring. Thanks for your wishes, they ran the US gauntlet to see the other two and that is going well.

Does anyone know if I will have any issues driving my family into Phuket for NY weekend? We are double vaxxed but our 2 and 6 year old kids are not. I already jumped the gun the other morning and booked the hotel, non-refundable. I'm struggling to find the most up to date information so if anyone has a link or some info it would be very much appreciated.

Never a nice experience, will definitely deserve some sort of confectionery after that.

Can you f'ing believe they don't have any information on the phuket gov website 5555 TIT

**dirk diggler** · 29-12-2021, 02:15 PM

I can believe it, I have looked.

I've heard around that they are pretty slack at the checkpoint and waving people through as soon as they start to produce proof of vaccines from the app or an envelope or whatever. I'm gonna just say he's 5 and see if I can blag it through without the test. At very least I hope it's just the spit ones and not the nasty nasal intrusion brain sample technique.

**naptownmike** · 06-01-2022, 05:45 AM

What are the latest entry requirements now. I was hoping to wait it out but with just over three weeks to go I should probably get it going.

From what I understand it is 7 days for fully vaccinated people. I already have my ticket landing I’m BKK so unfortunately the sandbox is out.

If only for one week I’m going to splurge for a place on the river with a balcony to kill my time watching life along the river.

Please let me know if I am correct about quarantine being 7 days.

thanks.
