TLDR : Answer Summary

If you are fully vaccinated and traveling with a 3-hour stopover in Dubai, you generally do not need a PCR test for transit. However, ensure you have booked your day 2 lateral flow test for entry into the UK and input the booking information into your passenger locator before departing from Phuket.
