Do I need to apply for the Phuket Sandbox instead of Test & Go if I'm arriving in January?
Hello, my flight is arriving 5th Jan from the Uk to phucket.
I applied for test n go today and booked 1 night in ASQ hotel.
Is this right? Or do I need to apply for phucket sandbox and book 7 nights quarantine?

Answer summary
The current consensus in the comments suggests that the Test & Go scheme is suspended. Instead, travelers arriving in Phuket must apply for the Phuket Sandbox program, which requires booking a 7-night hotel quarantine. This allows more freedom of movement within Phuket compared to the previous quarantine methods. Make sure to check the latest travel regulations before your flight.
