PHUKET: The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has updated its requirements for people boarding domestic flights to Phuket so that passengers can now present test results proving the passenger is not infected with COVID-19 issued up to seven days before the passenger boards the plane.

 

The revised order was issued by CAAT late yesterday (May 31).

 

As with the previous order, the CAAT maintained that flight passengers travelling to Phuket must be fully vaccinated or have tested negative for COVID-19 in order to board a flight to Phuket.

Precisely why the slow to appear vaccine passports are desperately needed.

Too many fakes (Hello India)

 

Common Pass. IATA travel pass and others mooted

Test results from covid-19 PCR screening and vaccination records sent directly from approved labs and existing health databases to a third party server. The user access is via an app and/or downloadable QR code.

So what's to prevent fully vaccinated passengers arriving at Swampy and immediately transferring to a Phuket flight, stay Phuket less than 24 hrs and fly Phuket to any domestic airport in LOS, all without quarantine?

If arriving swampy from outside the country, today, fully vaccinated foreigners still need a 7 day quarantine so no skipping onto a flight to Phuket.  Domestic flights into swampy do not require quarantine but fully vaccinated passengers can get a boarding pass to Phuket.  Onward from Phuket to other provinces?  Won’t fully vaccinated individuals pose little risk?

So at 2 June 2021 we're back to fully vaccinated international passengers arriving at swampy (with correct COE documents) only need 7 days quarantine in Bkk, then can fly to any location in Thailand, no further quarantine required. 

 

Or is all of that depending on what 'zone' the passenger departed from on their initial international flight to come to Thailand? 

 

Have I got that correct?

This is the first I have heard of a 7 day quarantine? Are you sure about this?

Would really be nice to stick to topic.

It's about DOMESTIC flights to Phuket.

Enough threads about arriving internationally, completely different matter.

 

Important to know that the rapid test is enough:

or those who are tested RT-PCR or rapid antigen test within 7 days prior to the journey and had a negative test result

• Requirement 1:  Must have a high tolerance for ambiguity and bureaucratic clap-trap.
• Requirement 2: Must be ignorant enough to believe that traveling to Phuket is worth the hassle and expense.

 So does that mean 14/15 days quarantine for ALL arriving international passengers is now reduced to 7 days for some arrivals? Hope so.
