After 14 days
To travel else where in Thailand by boats, cars or planes the travelers are required to show;
Passport and visa.
The document from Ministry of Health to who has negative COVID-19 tested after 14 days in Phuket.
The proof or the document of staying in a hotel that certified "SHA+".
What you should to know before making the decision;
When you at public areas you have to wear face mask at all time otherwise there is 20,000 Baht (600 USD) fine.
Beware over prices from taxis and Tuk-Tuk, make sure you're dealing the price before get in a vehicle. I'm worried to have so many local people try to overcharge tourists.
If there are over than 90 new cases per week in 3 sub-districts of Phuket, the government might shutdown Phuket again.
