Yo have free cancellation until 2 days before the travel. How does free cancellation work if you don't have to pay in advance? Does that imply you have to pay if you cancel the day prior to your supposed stay????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is exactly why this Phuket Sandbox will fail miserably???? how can we book holiday in Phuket when they don’t have the details sorted 5 days from opening???????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sounds like very few will make it for next Thursday! I know you would have to be mad to book NOW, but in the UK thousands booked holidays this year only to find out the receiving country wouldn't let them in, or wanted them to quarantine, or that they would have to quarantine on the way back. Lack of due diligence. They are now all rebooking for this summer expecting it to be all OK....... Lemmings come to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already booked in Agoda hotels in Phuket and Bangkok next September and I didn't pay anything in advance. I have free cancellation at any moment until 2 days before arriving to hotel.

Yes sure: Once approved Applicant finds and books a flight and Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) within 15 days No Sandbox option at the moment. Only ASQ hotels for quarantine, as always. At least, here: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/ May be you know another link where Phuket Sandbox is adtive. **** OK, I see now: they did not change first page to include Sandbox, but when you begin fulfilling the form you get Sandbox option anyway.

Espanol Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Well, a new issue now with COE: "Travellers to Phuket Sandbox can apply for COE 30 days prior to the arrival date in Thailand". Thet dont let travelleres ask for COE more than 30 days before the travel. I can not wait until last minute to book hotels, get insurance and buy airplanes tickets, so I must buy everything now and just hope than I will get COE short before travelling to Thailand. They need some days to process COE, so I will get the answer short before my travel and with little time to react if they deny my COE. ???? No time to provide new documents if they don't accept anything It's crazy Edited June 28, 2021 by Espanol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
