Domestic flight into Phuket from Chiang Mai

[DrPhibes]

Hi Guys/gals,

 

Anyone know the current COVID requirements for domestic flight arrival non-stop CNX to HKT?  I am double vaxxed with Pfizer and have my shot card to prove it.  I have booked a flight on Vietjet but did not see any C-19 requirements for the flight nor anything on the HKT airport website.  Thanks in advance!

Hi Doc,

i was at the airport in Chiang Rai and asked about my CR-Phuket-CR Flight with Vietjet for this Month about Covid Requirements.

They told me,if you have 2 Vaxxine Shots already,dont need any PCR Test,only Certificate for the Shots or show on Mor Prom App.

Register on website www.gophuket.com and present QR code before arrival. 

Hotel Confirm Reservation and receipt of hotel reservation must be shown at the check-in counter.

The link you posted for gophuket takes me to hotels.com ????  Hijacked?

[Robinsons]

try this one: gophuget.com

Has anyone recently flown into Phuket domestically that isn't fully jabbed (yet)?
 

For the record, I get my 2nd Pfizer on the 8th. I fly to Phuket on the 9th. I will take a PCR test 48 hours before the flight, as I believe you need to wait 14 days to be considered protected by the vaccine.

Current updated requirements say I'll be OK if I have that PCR test. But you know how it is. It's Thailand and I'm worried I'll arrive in Phuket airport and will be turned around. 

(Sorry if this is hijacking. I don't want to fill up the forum with a new thread for a reasonably similar question)

What airline are you flying?  My friend just went from Swampy and they did check her vaccination card during check in.  Otherwise, a PCR test was required.  This was 2 weeks ago.

Same with Thai Smiles.  But each airline has their own requirements.  And it's also based on the departure airport.  When leaving Phuket for Swampy, nothing checked at all. LOL

Vietjet, non-stop Chiang Mai to Phuket.  I have my vax card showing my two Phizer shots.  I think with the gophuget registration I'll be good to go.

Is this really a requirement for domestic flight arriving Phuket? I asked Vietjet for BKK->HKT and they said "only vaccine certificate required" (no hotel reservation)

[perconrad]

On 01. Nov I flew from Phuket to Ubon R with Thai Smile with plane shift in Suvarnabhumi and at check in in Phuket they wanted to see my vacc cert and typed it in the PC in BKK i did not show anything, but at embarking in Ubon R I had to show the vacc cert again.

 

The next day I flew the other way and at check in I had to show the vacc cert which was again typed in the PC. At embarking in Phuket I just walked out not showing anything.

 

On 22. september I drove into Phuket and had done the go.phuget.com, made reservation for hotel SHA+ and brought an ATK test kit. The only thing was that I was tested with the ATK, noone asked for anything else, not even the QR code from go.phuget or my vacc cert or hotel res.

 

So when I flew into Phuket the 2. nov I did not fill in go.phuget or anything else.

OK, followup on CNX to HKT today.  The did want to see my vaccination evidence (had my shot card) and did encourage GoPhuket registration to the point of walking down the plane isle with the scan code, no one at HKT ever checked if I had registered.  The taxi to Karon was originally quoted at 1000 but as soon as I hesitated it dropped to 700.  Sitting at deeply discounted Beyond Karon Resort room on my balcony that looks down at the beach.  Doing a couple days of diving before a friend of mine for 35 years shows up to hang and talk glory days over beers for about 4 days.  No family, no clients, just chill, if the weather would break to sunny part of the day, it would be heaven.

Thanks for the follow-up ???? Which airline was it? They didn't ask for hotel booking / house registration on check-in? Cheers.

Vietjet, sorry for the omission.  Only the goPhuget app asked for hotel/ house registration.

'Seems goPhuget.com requires BOTH 2 jab verification AND negative test proof (both required fields).  This is for domestic travel.  Any suggestions?

I put the same pic of 2 shot vaccine verification in both the jab verification and negative test.  At one time negative test was required both for flight and driving in.  Software has yet to catch up with rapidly changing law.  Patong is happening!!!

Good advice ????

 

Do they still require registration on AOT (airports) app?

 

I'll do HKT-BKK-HKT same day round-trip in a few weeks... Do they require GoPhuget registration only for arrivals, or departure out of Phuket as well? (I see there are both options there)
