ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, we have our Thailand pass for when we arrive in Phuket on 17.1.22. we have booked test and go at a sha plus hotel. We have booked 7 nights there not just the one night as required under test and go. As test and go has been cancelled we now have to do sandbox so is it ok to just stay at the hotel and do second test on day 7.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring if they can remain in their SHA Plus hotel in Phuket, initially booked for the Test and Go program, now that Test and Go has been canceled and they must adhere to the Sandbox program. Comments suggest that if they have already obtained their Thailand Pass under the old regulations, it remains valid for their stay. They can stay in the same hotel and are also advised they can take their second COVID-19 test on the 5th day of their stay.

Metty *******

If you already got your Thai pass .

That means you test and go.it won't change

If, you staying in the same hotel.

You can have your second test there on the5th day .or if you leave the hotel after the first test 'negative'

You can go back there and have your second test for free of charge.

Take photocopy of your

Passport they ask me for one.

All the best

We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see the results of the government’s decisions. However press reports have said that ThailandPass’ for the test and go option dated after the 10th will be invalid and a new one should be obtained. I stress that this is just press reports and in no way valid advise.
