Hi guys, this may sound like a stupid question… we fly direct to Phuket from Uk and ideally want to get to Krabi without staying in Phuket, is this possible? As I understand, we must stay one night in Phuket SHA+ to do the test and go and only then we are free to travel on to Krabi?  

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to travel directly to Krabi from Phuket without staying a night in Phuket, especially if you are vaccinated. Under the Test & Go scheme, travelers can go straight to Krabi for their first night, as it falls within the transportation limits. However, you will need to arrange private transportation and include it in your Thailand Pass hotel confirmation. Several travelers have successfully done this, so it is a viable option.

Go straight to Krabi. I'd recommend Koh Lanta

You can go straight to krabi for your first night. It’s within the transportation kilometer Limit for sandbox and test and go. No need to stay in Phuket. You will have to pay for private transportation through your hotel and include that in your Thai pass hotel confirmation page.

Transportation cost me 3,500 baht to do my first night in railey beach 😁

You can stay in different hotels in different cities for Day 1 and Day 5 under the scheme of Test & Go. I came to Thailand last week. Day 5 was like a joke. You have to go to the hospital at your expense and nobody oversees it.

could you not do it at the hotel? Going to hospitals sounds like I faff, I’m travelling with a 4 year old so trying to make it as straight forward as possible

Day 1 includes a stop-by at the hospital for a drive through PCR test in a taxi that the hotel provides you. Then the taxi takes you to the hotel. You get released from the hotel when you test negative next day. You go off to do your business until Day 5.

On Day 5, you go to the hotel to check in. They will tell you to go to their affiliated hospital on your own (in my case). You can't go to other ones.

You come back to the hotel and wait for the result next day.

There is no more test and go....its test and test. Krabi would have to have a SHA hotel for your 5th day.

We are thinking to eliminate stress after a long flight with 4 year old to do 2 nights in Phuket get the test out of the way then boat over to Krabi. Can we go somewhere on day 5 in Krabi to do the test rather than through a SHa approved hotel? Cheers guys

You need a booked and paid hotel where you have to quarantine for a day till the result of the PCR test comes back.
