The discussion centers around the current status of quarantine measures and the Phuket Sandbox for travelers to Thailand. It's confirmed that the Sandbox program, which allows vaccinated travelers to avoid strict quarantine, is still operational. The conversation highlights some misconceptions, clarifying that the Sandbox is different from traditional quarantine, as it permits some movement within certain areas, specifically on islands like Phuket. There are mentions of requirements for entry, such as booking SHA+ hotels and undergoing PCR tests.

This talks about the Quarantine. I think the happy part is that it is less days than before.
The Sandbox schemes are different type of quarantine, and are not referenced directly.
, you are quarantined on the Island. You cannot leave. You just have a very big "room".

Mitchell Trott. Quarantine by definition means "isolation". If you believe that being restricted to remain on a 500 square kilometre island which is one of the major tourist destinations of the world is "quarantine" you have some serious issues. Seek help now! 🤣🤣🤣
, I know. It is a very loose type of quarantine. But it is technically a quarantine, as it restricts movement (off island) to help contain and control.

Mitchell Trott. "Restrict movement" - you are aware you can meet friends, go drinking in bars in Bangla Road, go to the gym, swim in the pool, eat at restaurants anywhere in the 500 square kilometres, hire a car, hire a lady from a multitude of bars? Yeah.....you call it quarantine, but I simply cannot see it. Unless of course, you're in a hurry to get to Buriram for some real excitement!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know, I know. Restricted in that you cannot leave Phuket. How's that. 😁🍻
And you have to stay in your room until you get your Airport arrival PCR result.
Mitchell *******
You will also have to book SHA+ transport to your Sha+ hotel.
Mitchell *******
You have to book and pay for your Sha+ hotel, your PCR tests, and your insurance before you do the thai pass. You also have to input a Flight date and number (Although you aren't required to prove that you paid for the flight yet.)
