I am (hopefully) traveling from the USA to Phuket, arriving on January 11th.  I have my #evisa approved and ready (hotel booked, tests paid for) - do I need a Thaipass as well? It seems like it is the same documentation.

Thanks for your advice! I got the Thaipass, but then I had to change my flight. I heard that the Thaipass was still valid for up to 72 hours after the date on the pass. Is this true?

That’s only for the Test and go option. If you do quarantine in Bangkok or the Phuket sandbox scheme you can still enter.

, you are doing the Phuket Sandbox I assume? You definitely need to try and contact them if you are traveling in 2 days. I think you left it way too late.
