And for those that pass screening a new luxury VIP limousine service will be started to take you to your hotel in comfort.

perconrad Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 My wife, her grandchild and myself entered Phuket today at about 16.30 o'clock by car after driving from Sisaket. At the check point at Chat Chai we had our temperatures taken with a handheld device by a cop and he asked if we had the Thai chana app. That was all and we were vinked along. We will enjoy the next weeks here in Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
