i posted two lengthy situation updates last week and yesterday on phuket on pattaya-addicts (and there's lots of other up2date info there). you find it on my profile (same username as here). 

Thanks for that!  I got a quick question on the current domestic travel rules, which is probably answered somewhere in those posts on PA, but might be easier to resolve here. 

Once out of Test&Go quarantine in BKK and free to roam, if I fly to Phuket domestically, can I leave Phuket anytime, or do I have to follow the same 7 days minimum stay as those who came to Phuket internationally?  Put it another way, are vaccinated domestic travelers free to come and go from Phuket any way they like, or what rules do they have to follow?

I just flew to Phuket and they did ask for my vaccination proof I showed them my EU qr code from my phone and ok

Unfortunately Test & Go has been cancelled for the time being. The only way right now for international tourists to enter Thailand without 7 to 14 days hotel quarantine is through the Phuket Sandbox. Once you've stayed in Phuket for seven days, you can leave Phuket and travel where you want in Thailand. The current policy will be reviewed on January 4th.

Yes I am aware it was cancelled.  My question was for those who already completed Test and Go (or any other length of quarantine) in BKK and are already in Thailand.  Will those people be able to travel to/from Phuket with no restrictions as domestic travelers?  They can stay in Phuket any number of days and 7 days would not apply to them?  I think @petehoax was in that category of people that's why I quoted him.

The 7 day minimum stay in Phuket does not apply to you as a domestic traveler, or does it?

No I don't think so . In the hotel they said have to wait for test but I replied I just came from bkk and did all the tests and everything was ok. I be here longer then 7 days so don't know more
