webfact Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Arrivals from the four deep south provinces will face 14-day mandatory quarantine, Phuket Vice Governor Pichet Panapong confirmed. Photo: PR Phuket By The Phuket News PHUKET: Arrivals from the four southern border provinces must face mandatory quarantine for 14 days after arriving Phuket regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or can prove they have tested negative for COVID-19 within seven days of travelling to Phuket. Phuket Vice Governor Pichet Panapong confirmed the mandatory quarantine for arrivals in Phuket from the four provinces ‒ Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla ‒ after the meeting of the Phuket Communicable Disease Committee on Monday (June 21). “The quarantine is to protect against the disease [COVID-19] from spreading, as a vaccine may not be able to protect against the virus variant [present in the four southern provinces]. This is our latest medical measure to prevent [infections] spreading from students or visitors,” he said.

There's talk that the Three Province region will be made inaccessible to outsiders for an indefinite amount of time. I live there, so I'll probably be able to leave and come back any time, but for people who are not from here, the government could decide not to let any outsiders, Thai or foreign, in anymore.
