Enter Phuket by car. Only 1 jab done. Possible?

[friendofthai]

I have got my first jab of Moderna vaccine recently. Is it possible to enter Phuket by car without waiting for the second jab?

Wondering the same. Are there any vaccine requirements, COVID testing or other requirements to enter Phuket by car from Bangkok?

Will probably tell you to turn around and get a test, they do them just before the check point.

Ok so there is no requirement to be vaccinated to enter Phuket by car?

This is the article I was referring to

Hundreds barred daily on Phuket bridge lacking Covid-19 docs

Maybe try Phuket Tourist Info Centre

A few months ago my at the time 11 yrs old son rode to Khao Lak, on the return at the check-point they checked my vaccine details via Moh Promt(2 shots had), as he'd had no shots at that stage, they told us to turn around and go to the tests station for him to get checked.

So I'm not saying no requirement as I think you'd need at least 1 shot, just reporting how it happened for my son and I.

No, they have entry requirements.

Fully vaccinated or having a covid test result.

This will be checked at the Sarasin Bridge checkpoint and you will be send back for a covid test if you are not fully vaccinated.

Si inconsistent with domestic flights. All I had done was a checking an "I am fine" box on AirAsia website.

No checks at checkin or arrival
