Quarantine question.

What is the current situation with quarantine for Phuket? If you test positive on arrival or day 5 is it still ten days in covid jail?

Thanks for help, it's a bit bewildering trying to keep up!

Answer summary

The quarantine requirements for Phuket vary based on vaccination status and entry program. Vaccinated travelers previously faced 7 days of quarantine while unvaccinated ones faced 10 days. However, recent changes indicate that if you enter via test & go and self-administer the tests, the risk of testing positive should be minimized. If a PCR test is positive upon entry or during the quarantine period, the isolation period is at least 10 days.

I've had 3 vaccinations and 2 doses of covid so I pass those tests.

I have a pcr test booked for the day prior to travelling so fingers crossed all of that is fine. If the day 5 test is self administered then that should be fine too 😅

Man, I miss the days of pitching up with a passport and a toothbrush 🙃

If you enter via test&go there's no reason you should ever test positive on day 5 because you give yourself the test.

If you are entering via quarantine because unvaccinated then you'll be given a full PCR test on day 0 and day 5.

If any of your entry PCR tests are positive using any entry program, it's at least 10 days isolation.

Depends whether or not you are vaccinated, it used to be 7 days quarantine if you are vaccinated and 10 days if you aren't, however if you have had Covid and have recovered then a certificate of recovery will set you free.
