In addition, passengers who "enjoy" the 7-day entry quarantine period must be vaccinated with 7 vaccines approved by the Ministry of Health of Thailand, including Kexing vaccine, AZ vaccine (including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Thailand, India and other different pharmaceutical factories), Pfizer vaccine, Johnson & Johnson vaccine, Modena vaccine, Sinopharm vaccine and satellite No. 5 vaccine.
And, if you arrive under the Phuket "Sandbox Program", you will be allowed to visit the island freely, rather than quarantined at the hotel.
According to Thai media reports, the Phuket Information Center of the Thai government released the news that starting today, passengers from 17 countries and regions such as China (including Taiwan), India, Saudi Arabia and so on can apply for an entry visa on arrival at any international airport in Thailand under the premise of entering Thailand with an entry permit.

As far as Thailand is concerned, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health of Thailand, yesterday (September 30) there were still 11,646 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Thailand, with a cumulative confirmed case of more than 1.57 million. Thailand has issued a new order to "loosen" the epidemic prevention and control measures from today to the 15th, such as allowing 19 types of restaurants, movie theaters and other places in Bangkok to open for business. If the epidemic situation does not further worsen during the implementation of the new order, further expansion and relaxation will not be ruled out.
