The country is now allowing multi-centre island and beach holidays by adding destinations such as Krabi, Phi Phi, Khao Lak and Ko Yao to the Sandbox model which has already seen the reopening of major resorts Phuket and Koh Samui.
The Phuket Sandbox 7+7 programme allows fully vaccinated international travellers to reduce the previous 14-night mandatory stay in Phuket to seven nights, with another seven nights spent in either Krabi (for Ko Phi Phi, Ko Ngai or Railay), Phang-Nga (for Khao Lak or Ko Yao), or Surat Thani (for Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan or Ko Tao).
