These three THAI flights will then continue onto Bangkok, as will another two THAI flights scheduled for Sunday, 4 July, direct to Phuket from London and Zurich.
Phuket Sandbox project is to reopen Phuket to fully vaccinated international travellers from 1 July, 2021. You can also read the requirements to enter Phuket on 1 July 2021 at https://www.placesandfoods.com/2021/06/requirements-to-enter-phuket-on-1-july-2021.html
One of the main criteria for the Phuket Sandbox is applicable only for fully vaccinated international travellers from countries/regions with a low to medium risk of SAR-CoV-2 virus as announced and constantly updated by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
High-risk countries are not allowed entry at this stage and only visitors from 66 countries and regions are allowed to enter Phuket at this time.
The good news is Phuket Welcomes International Tourists Today and the bad news is our country is still clueless what to do for our tourism. Thanks for reading, take care and be safe.
