BANGKOK — PM Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday afternoon said Thailand will no longer accept any further applications from international travelers for quarantine exemption until further notice, starting today.
Prayut said he gave the order to suspend the “Test and Go” program during a meeting with the government’s coronavirus response center. Accordingly, the Thailand Pass system, which is required by travelers to forego quarantine provided that they test negative for COVID-19 on arrival, will stop accepting new applications.

I get conflicting information but as it stands people with passes before 10th of January seems to be able to go in planned fashion. They closed for new applications and will keep Phuket sandbox.

@Yash *****
so you can still come in but is it as test and go or would you have to quarantine?Paras ********
UPDATE 1: According to the PM, there are 90,000 people who already have a Thailand Pass and they will be allowed to come in. The situation will be reviewed on 4th January. Thai media reporting people on Test & Go can come in on same conditions but they will need to do a second RT-PCR test.
More details expected soon.
