What are the current rules for the Phuket Sandbox program?
Remind me on Phuket Sandbox rules please? Suspect we will need to amend from Thailand Pass test n go
Answer summary
The Phuket Sandbox program allows travelers to enter Thailand with specific rules. Travelers must stay for 7 nights in an SHA+ certified hotel, undergo a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival and again on day 6. After receiving a negative result from the first test, they can travel around Phuket but must remain within the sandbox area. Updates on the program's status can be pending, and travelers are advised to keep informed due to the changing situation.

No much different than test and go actually, except that you have to stay 7 nights in SHA+ hotel instead of 1 night and do a 2nd PCR test in Thailand at day 6.

It's ok I done it last October, covid test at the airport then a sha + taxi to your hotel when you get the test results back you can go about as normal. after 7 days and two more PCR Tests you get the all-clear and get out of jail pass, then you can go about all over Good luck
