Hi all, 

I'm looking to re-enter Thailand through the Phuket Sandbox. Fully vacc'd and all. I have a valid active visa with a reentry stamp. I have Covid insurance and all that. 

My question is: 

If I book a flight that arrives directly in Phuket on January 6th, would that be enough time to get the Thailand Pass approved (assuming I apply right now)? I want to book everything now, but I am hesitant to book an SHA hotel and flight if there is a delay in getting the pass approved in time. What do you guys think? Appreciate any guidance. Thanks everyone.

They said current restrictions will be reviewed on 4th January. Could be better or could be worse, personally i would apply now, expect a surge of cases after new year festivities
