Hi all, Decided to bite the bullet and finally book a family holiday to Phuket.  Thought I had it all figured but now not so sure.... Apologies if old news but can anyone helps with the following:

1. We're flying straight into Phuket and hope to do the test and go (when restarted) however I just read on one the websites first not is SHA++ rather than SHA+ (IS there a difference???) We've booked a SHA+ hotel for whole stay

1. Do you need to isolate after the day 5/6 test until you get results?

1. We have to fly back via Bangkok (Singapore rules) and only staying 6 nights hence test and go.  But is it just going to be easier to extend by one night and use sandbox??? Other than length of stay, is there any difference in the testing requirements?  It doesn't look like it but again a lot of info out there

Thanks all for support and help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is planning a family trip to Phuket and has questions regarding the Test and Go scheme, specifically about the difference between SHA+ and SHA++ hotels, isolation requirements after testing, and whether to use Phuket's Sandbox option due to their travel restrictions.

hello, i think as long as you are vaccinated sha+ is ok, you only isolate the 1st day or until you get the results, it depends on your time or arrival, if you arrive earlier in the day you get the results within a few hours, if you arrive late then its the next day, then after the results you can move freely within the island. the 3rd part im not so sure, but somebody with more knowledge will answer you.

I'm pretty sure the second pcr test also requires a hotel booked (and isolation until negative result received). Probably too many people skipping the second test on the original test n go setup :)
