The news was announced by Phuket officials last night (Sept 28), by sharing a post online by the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra, Australia.

The post, in English, read, “From 1 October 2021, the following quarantine period applies for entry into Thailand:

“A quarantine period of  7 days for international travellers who have been fully vaccinated with vaccines approved by the Thai authorities.”

*Travellers must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to their departure date,” the notice added.

A quarantine period of 10 days is required for unvaccinated international travellers and travellers who are not fully vaccinated.

A quarantine period of 10 days is required for unvaccinated children. If travelling with a fully vaccinated parent, the parent must also quarantine for 10 days,” the post noted.

In a separate post, Phuket officials also noted, “Visitors arriving on the Phuket Sandbox project must now stay at a SHA Plus hotel for 7 days before being able to travel on day 8 to other provinces in Thailand.”
