Hello everyone.

I'm trying to help a friend.

He is landing in Phuket but want to do the first night of quarantine in Krabi (in the test&go program).

His flight company (TUi) said he can, but I was thinking the first night might be where he will land (so Phuket in his case).

And I cannot find the official information.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler landing in Phuket can potentially spend their first night of quarantine in Krabi under the Test & Go program, provided they book a sandbox hotel in Krabi and arrange their transportation through the hotel. It's crucial to upload the hotel booking confirmation and transportation details when applying for the Test & Go program. The traveler must stay in Phuket for at least one night before moving to Krabi.

I have a friend who did it. You need to find a sandbox hotel in Krabi. They book the transportation and then this together with the PCR test is uploaded to the one pass system.

As far as my experience goes, I believe your friend has to do his first night at the port of entry.

You need to stay in Phuket one night before travelling elsewhere. My son is having to do it next month before travelling to Lanta next day.

I did read also about the 5 hour drive but must be by transport arranged by the hotel they book at can not be private arrangement. Also maybe someone can confirm

I think you can stay at a hotel within a 3 or 5 hour drive of the airport, not sure which, hopefully someone else can confirm.
