You will soon be able to take a quarantine-free trip to Phuket, Thailand from 1st July 2021, provided you’ve completed your COVID-19 vaccine shots.
Vaccination as requirement
Tourists will need to be fully-vaccinated (typically two weeks after your second dose on vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna), and present a vaccination certificate, vaccination passport, or IATA travel pass. You will still be required to take a PCR test at the airport, and use the ThailandPlus contract tracing application while in Phuket.
Thai government approved a notion that will see international travellers bypass quarantine requirements on arrival in Phuket, so long as they are vaccinated. As of July 1, vaccinated international travellers will be permitted to visit the vacation destination with no quarantine requirement.
The government plans initially to test the procedure in Phuket before potentially rolling it out to the rest of the country, including other vacation hotspots like Koh Samui. The rest of Thailand is expected to welcome fully vaccinated tourists in October.

Summary
Thailand’s economy relies heavily on international tourism, it’s not surprising that Phuket is scrambling to get the borders open again.
