What are the latest entry requirements for Phuket's reopening in July 2021?

if your in Thailand foriegners need a negative covid test within 72 hours before arrival in Phuket. For some reason Thais is 1 week. This is the mentality of people running it

Again, Phuket Sandbox rules only apply to international arrivals to Phuket. Domestic arrivals in Phuket do not have to play by Phuket Sandbox rules. It's really that simple.

only from abroad...

How about just an article on the Phuket sandbox ONLY. Then maybe have an article about the 3 islands. A separate article. You know, so people might not get confused. Really, clarity is a virtue. Sorry, this stuff is not really rocket surgery, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it is because of how convoluted the explanation of the rules is. Make things simple. Make things clear. Don't try to do everything at once. Do one thing at a time well. Then do the next thing well.

No, that's not the way I read the article. [I really wish the article would have just addressed the Phuket Sandbox and not the 3 islands. starting later.] As I read the article you take a test at the airport and you must remain in your hotel room until a negative test result is received. I can't see that taking 3 days, probably overnight - don't know. Then the article goes on to talk about the 3 islands (so not the Phuket Sandbox) and that's where you can see the 3 days quarantine in your hotel room.

But you might have to pay up front for 14 days just in case you show a positive during your stay. Just thinking I hope the hotels are honest with their tests or you might be stuck there on a false positive.

looks that way, but better than the nasty hotel we were locked in for $2400.00 in November for 16 days...
