TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, the 1-day Test & Go scheme has been suspended since December 22nd. Only travelers who already possess an approved Thailand Pass for Test & Go and are entering before January 10th may still benefit from it. For everyone else, a mandatory 7-day quarantine is required. Alternatives like the Phuket Sandbox offer a similar arrangement but with strict hotel booking requirements and travel limitations. Current updates about the situation indicate that the Test & Go scheme will not likely resume before the end of January.

It's all the same Thai or Farang. Only differens is that if a Thai tests positive and symptoms is mild they can most likely quarantine at home. So for us...my thai wife and me...if we test positive I have to quarantine in a $$$$$ hospitel but she can go home to our house in Thailand. Yes we live together in Europe.

I can attest to how seriously they are taking it. I tested positive on day 6. I was looking at condos to rent and they called me. They said do not take BTS or taxi. They came and got me in ambulance van. Drove me to hotel. Informed hotel staff I was entering to get my luggage and then off to quarantine hotel. There are all kinds here. Some Thais are required to quarantine here as well. They treat you pretty well. Nurses are on top of it and always texting every hour or so to make sure everything is ok. I suggest if you come here and make it past day 1 of your trip, stay in your hotel till 2nd covid test. I went out 1 single night and caught it. Just be careful. It's everywhere and the Thai government is taking it very seriously. I was angry at first, but actually relieved to know they are doing what they can to keep people safe.

 😞. I feel for you. I seriously do. I spent over a decade changing my life, including slowly phasing out having pets, ridding myself of all my belongings, including my home, etc. etc. to plan for a nomadic lifestyle. I returned to the U.S. in Jan 2020 for an emergency and missed my flights to Phuket on

/2020 due to a medical emergency. That’s when I took the opportunity to sell my house so I could be free and clear. However, I have never been able to have my nomadic life and I cannot get back to Thailand. I’ve yet to visit the islands.

I am very stressed because I’m wasting an exorbitant amount of money on a life I don’t want, waiting for the life I do. So, I get it.

I also really regret not traveling earlier in my life, so I STRONGLY encourage you to continue to follow your dreams. However, you can get no answers today. That’s simply a fact. I will be thinking of you today and tomorrow and hoping your dreams come true.

 at least you might have traveled somewhere ouf of USA. I haven't been able to go anywhere and at the age of 21, i finally made a vow to myself to live a nomadic life and Thailand was my first destination but couldn't go there due to covid, i mean the lockdown started just few days ago my expected travel. I'm glad that i at least didn't book the flights or hotels or my money would have been wasted. And, yes, i can understand you very well. Due to covid, i was very bored at home so i had to buy a gaming console which i never intended to buy but i had to do it, in order to not get bored at home. I was so depressed that i had to consult a psychiatrist. I thought I'd never visit a psychiatrist again but i had to as I'm still suffering from anxiety, depression and OCD and the ability of still not be able to travel there is very discouraging and depressing too.

No, Test & Go is still suspended everywhere.

But if you already have your Thailand Pass approved for Test & Go, this will still be honored.

There has been some rumors about these being honored until January 10th, and then the arrangement would be cut off, but that is NOT true.

If you have your Thailand Pass approved, it's approved until officially stated otherwise.

Your best option would probably be the Phuket Sandbox.

Here you'll have a mandatory quarantine in your hotel room until your PCR-test comes back negative. After this you can freely travel around Phuket as you please.

Your entire stay must be booked at a certified hotel, and you can't travel away from Phuket ( unless out of the country ) for 7 days. After the 7 days you're free to travel to the rest of Thailand.

 I sent an email to my insurance-company today to ask about these scenarios.

All of the above scenarios are covered in my insurance, no symptoms required. They even cover new flight-tickets if I can't catch my flight home because of the quarantine.

I'm covered if I tested positive when arriving.

I'm covered if I'm quarantined due to another person on my flight testing positive.

And I'm covered if I'm unlucky enough to catch if while I am here.

So I'm pretty much fully covered for covid-expenses on my travels.
