ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m an Australian living abroad and want to enter Thailand from Dubai later this year. 

I’ve been fully vaccinated in Thailand and have a Thai certificate. 

Will I be able to use the sandbox program and fly to Phuket, so that I don’t have to quarantine?

Can I enter (with a CoE of course) under the VISA waiver program between Thailand and Australia, or do I need a VISA to participate in the sandbox?

I know I’m making things difficult - thanks so much for your help 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

An Australian citizen, fully vaccinated with a Thai certificate, is inquiring about entering Thailand from Dubai. They want to know if they can participate in the Phuket sandbox program to avoid quarantine and whether they need a visa or if they can enter under the visa waiver program.

Are you vaccinated ?

You need to be to enter on the Phuket or Samui sandbox.

Its all a bit confusing at moment as other provinces are talking about sandbox entries as well. But odds are all of them will require you to be fully vaccinated
