Driving to Phuket

Post by berlinmichael »

I am planning a trip to Phuket and intend to drive. Does anyone know of any restrictions or requirements for driving onto the island ? I have my vaccination certificate but wondered whether some test result may be required. All the information for travellers seems to be related to arriving on Phuket by air.
Thanks in advance

I drove down and back earlier this month. Was waved through two checkpoints including one after the bridge. Only issue I had was with the hotel which demanded to see my Thailand Pass.

I don't even know what a Thailand Pass is! Is this a requirement to stay in any hotel on Phuket and if so, please tell how do I get one?

It’s what people have to complete when they travel to Thailand from another country.
