Travel to Thailand by Phuket Sandbox or Koh Samui Sandbox: Fully vaccinated tourists have to stay for 7 days (and no longer 14 days) in a SHA plus hotel on one of these islands. They are tested, when they arrive at the airport. They have to stay in the hotel room until they get their negative test result. Then they can move on the island, where they want to go. But they have to stay in the chosen SHA plus hotel during the night for 7 nights.
