Do I need a Thaipass in addition to my eVisa for traveling to Phuket?
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.
Answer summary
The user confirmed their eVisa has been approved and is traveling to Phuket. They inquired if a Thaipass is also necessary. Comments from the community emphasized that a Thaipass is mandatory for entry, with advice on health insurance and flight changes also discussed.

OPThanks 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.
