TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling to Phuket unvaccinated requires you to be aware of certain COVID-19 entry and travel regulations. It's crucial to obtain a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours before your flight for domestic travel. If you consider getting vaccinated for easier travel, it's recommended. Different airlines may have specific requirements, so it's best to check with them before your flight.

I have just had a debate with a guy who hasn't been vaccinated because he is unsure what is in the syringe. He was very heavily tattooed and I asked him if he knew what was in the ink. He has now decided to get the jab tomorrow.

the ingredients of the different vaccines are ready available to see, so he can just go check it out. (Requires basic reading)

For Domestic flight, just go to a hospital or clinic and get tested 72 hours before your flight. If you're tested negative then you're good to go.

Yes, most airlines require a negative RT-PCR test result or you would not be allowed to board. I am flying SIA to Phuket in a few days and I heard that they are very strict about it.

^this question.

To OP: Inside, all you need is a negative PCR within 72 hours of entering (7 days supposedly works, but airlines may require 72 for unvaxxed).

From outside, you can't.

no thats correct but there question was specifically about Phuket and without knowing whether they were referring to domestic or international travel cant answer correctly.

If international yes quarantine in Bangkok although there are still ASQs in Phuket which are more for people with private jets
