webfact Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Photo: Radio Thailand Phuket By The Phuket News PHUKET: Long queues returned to Phuket Check Point on the only road leading onto the island yesterday (Oct 16), as the requirements for domestic travellers to enter Phuket were eased to allow all people who have been vaccinated for COVID-19 without having to prove they have tested negative for the virus in the past seven days. Officers at the checkpoint estimate that the number of vehicles coming onto the island will soon average 10,000 a day, up from the average 1,000 vehicles per day under the previous control measures, said one report by Phuket officials. Under the new measures, the checkpoint is now open again 24 hours a day.

Felt 35 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Does anyone who lives in Phuket know if this still is a daily occurrence after domestic travel restrictions was eased or was it only the first few days there were long queues?
