Obviously he doesn't care about restrictions. He could give Covid to family members. They should send such people back home to the country where they came from. 

 

Thais are more likely to be infected by other Thais than farangs who have had 2 jabs, passed all the the tests and have proof of the same.

 

Perhaps it is you who should be sent back to your home country.

Deport and 3 year ban on reentry would be justified.

On what grounds?

There are clear laws and regulations in Thailand. And if tourists don't care or don't want to accept them then they should stay at home. Sadly very hard to accept for some that they are not above the law.

"Matters were explained to him and he was taken back to where he should be, his hotel." because I'm sure he really didn't know.

There are clear laws and there is common sense. Both you and the current government seem to lack it.

 

What did you not understand when the OP reported that he went to his home, his wife and his family. That would mean that he is not a tourist.

 

From the contents of your posts, you make a good bootlicker.

 

BTW, you are now on my ignore list.

[Polaky]

Still unclear how the guy from uae tested positive, how is it possible?, unless the test he had before leaving was fake, which would also raise the question is his vaccination legit?, surely if you board a flight and the stewardess has it and passes it onto you, it would be too early to detect as positive, it needs time to ingrest itself into your system, something is not quite right with this case, the boys from tat should investigate more thoroughly.

Great that YOU have the common sense. The rules don't differentiate if you are a tourist or not. They are valid for all people entering the sandbox after arriving from a different country. Is this really so hard to understand...

do you notice how the number of daily arrivals is no longer as frequently  mentioned by TAT or the media as it was at the start of Sandpit? now they announce is future number of flights and the estimated number of future arrivals. Is that their way if directing attention from the current low numbers of arrivals that are not even closecto their fantasy projections?

Possibly. And if the story about the 14 quarantined arrivals in the sand box has got out to the international press, no tourist is going to risk going to Phuket now. 

They'll have to change the rules pretty quickly if they want to prevent every tourist cancelling their 'quarantine free' Phuket sand box holiday

Could be a false positive. No test is 100% accurate.

The point is, as proved ! That the sandbox system works! You may not like it or be a doom monger The system is in place to protect Phuket, as much as allowing people who want to come here the opportunity .They should fully knowing the requirements and risks!

I am the opposite to to a doom monger. I desperately want things to start opening up, and welcomed the sand box idea as a first step towards that. 

But the idea was sold on the basis of zero quarantine for fully vaccinated tourists.

But as it turns out, it only takes one person on your flight to test positive, and the holiday you've spent thousands on is ruined, vaccinated or not. So sadly tourists are not going to risk that. Only returning ex pats or people intending to stay much longer than a holidaymaker would be willing to take that chance.

If I'm fully vaccinated with proof and visit Phuket in the next few weeks, I still have to quarantine for 14 days or no ? Also what If I don't use or own any smartphone and just a simple flip phone ? hehe

Standby as the Covid cases in Phuket are rising, and now 2 children from a visiting family have been tested and found positive with Covid and hospitalized, while the remaining members of the family have been removed from their hotel and placed into a ALQ hotel for quarantine.  On top of that during the past week a visitor from the UAE tested positive and was placed into a facility and the others on his flight were also moved to an ALQ, so the vacations for all of the above have been ruined.  The 12 from the UAE are asking to be allowed to fly back home and not stay in the ALQ....Travel at your own Peril, but if this is home and your not coming just for a small holiday I wish you luck.

I mean who among us has not been found at least once wandering (stumbling?) about at 4:30am, somewhere in Thailand, looking for teerak?  Hope I still have that kinda mojo when I'm 83

yes, the double vaccinated, tested before flying, tested upon landing guy is a clear covid risk and should be deported ASAP

As others have pointed out, these tests aren’t immediate.  You get swabbed at the airport and then there is a delay of several hours before the results come back.  
 

Dude bolted to see his wife before checking into the hotel which means that his test results likely had not returned.  
 

And double vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t transmit Covid to others.  
 

There have been 16 people that have been double vaccinated, tested negative before flying, and arrived testing positive.
