If that doesn't come through soon we'll have to cancel the whole trip.
Yes it is better to do the test and go for sure. All I had to do was wait in the hotel until the results came in. It only took about 6 hours or less. Then free to do about anywhere in Thailand. I see no reason why it should be an issue for you as you are going to get a PCR test on Day 1 in Phuket and then leave before day 5. As I said they never asked from me anything. You could try for the test and Go? I had mine in less than 24 hours but for some it takes a lot longer for sure.
