Hi, folks. Some family members coming to visit next month. Can I just check that it is possible to do Test and Go in Phuket (and be free to travel to Bangkok / anywhere after the first test comes back), as long as you also book in somewhere for Day 5 (even if that is in Bangkok)? Guess you get more flexibility that way, though you lose that Day? Cheers.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to do the Test and Go program in Phuket and travel to Bangkok after receiving a negative result from the first PCR test. However, you must have a hotel booked for Day 5, even if it is in Bangkok. You will have more flexibility in your travels, but it is important to follow the rules set by the program.

Hi

(and anyone else interested!).

It turns out that you can T&G in Phuket. This direct from the horse's mouth, a hotel on the island. Not only that, but you can do your test on Day 1, then fly to Bangkok (or anywhere else), so long as you end up at your booked Day 5 hotel and follow due process there.

If you enter Phuket sandbox you're obliged to stay 7 days and have 2 pcr tests

on day 1 and 5, before you can exit

Thanks. But I'm trying to confirm that you don't *have* to do the sandbox in Phuket, but that you can choose to do Test and Go there instead?
