ORIGINAL POSTERTodays the day....really crossing my fingers the sandbox program remains untouched, i was hoping to apply for my Thai pass on Thursday 😅
TLDR : Answer Summary
The community is discussing concerns regarding the status of the Sandbox Program and the Thai Pass as of January 2022. Users express hopes that the program remains unchanged, especially for upcoming applications. There is uncertainty due to recent meetings by the CCSA (Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration) and rumors about potential delays or changes. Overall, there seems to be confusion about whether the Thai Pass is necessary for entry, particularly for the Phuket Sandbox, as comments clarify that it is still required. Users are awaiting official updates to confirm the status of these programs.

CCSA said on the last press meeting that they will give information on 5th. Friday seams a bit far away as it is 7th and if there is new rules they start from monday after a weekend when all is closed. That would be a real BLOW MY HEAD AWAY!Ron *******
@Atte ******

Nothing major will change. Bars and schools are closed again in Bangkok. We might see an increase in domestic restrictions but that's it.

I hope you are right. Then I might call you GOD....or even Buddha 😉 As you know already.Bobby ********
Garrett Greenwald. The "bars" never reopened. They just reinvented themselves as "restaurants" and are still all operating! So no change!

Is the Thailand Pass issued before December 1 still valid for January arrivals after recent changes?
