Hi All,

If we book a SHA+ Hotel in Phuket  for the 7 day Sandbox but only have airline tickets to Bangkok ,is it possible to book and fly with a separate airline to Phuket to do the first Covid tests in Phuket at the SHA + hotel?

Thank you .

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation addresses whether it's possible to fly to Phuket from Bangkok after only having airline tickets to Bangkok, specifically for the 7-day Phuket Sandbox program. The consensus indicates that you cannot transit through Bangkok to Phuket for this program; you must have a direct flight to Phuket from abroad. One suggestion is to undergo the 'Test and Go' program in Bangkok first, allowing for a night stay before flying to Phuket. However, under current regulations, all initial international arrivals must land directly in Phuket to qualify for the Sandbox.

If you are eligible for test and go then do it in Bangkok and then fly to Phuket domestic the next day. You cannot transit through Bangkok to do any scheme in Phuket. Your flight must land from anywhere abroad direct into Phuket.

I may be wrong but i believe you can do test and go in Bangkok. Stay one night in bangkok, get your clear test and fly domestically to Phuket. No need for 7 day SHA+.

If we book SHA+ Hotel in Jomtien under 7 day Sandbox are the requirements that the hotel has to arrange for collection from the airport to Jomtien or can we take a taxi to Jomtien to the hotel ?
