My wife will be returning to Thailand from the UK in October and we are considering using the Phuket Sandbox Scheme rather than her being shut in an ASQ hotel in Bangkok - she's had her first jab and will be fully vaccinated well before she travels. Post Sandbox she will need to get back to Korat but she tells me there are no domestic flights running at the moment. The Phuket airport departures list shows flights from both Vietjet and Lion Air leaving and Suvarnabhumi Airport shows them arriving so what's going on? Are they just carrying cargo? Both Vietjet and Lion Air websites show no flights available. I seem to remember reading about the flights ending and that some kind of bus service had been put on for people ending their Sandbox stay to travel to Bangkok - is that correct?

How would the UK authorities know he hadn't extended his visa? If he'd married a much younger girl they might get a little suspicious if he was still claiming his pension when he was 125.

You are correct that the UK's vaccination certificate does not include passport details - the only ID it has is your name and date of birth. I haven't seen this as I haven't made an application yet but are you saying they want your passport details to be on the actual certificate? What are they suggesting could happen - you just happened to find another person with same name and you're using their vaccine certificate? I think you'll have to phone them to sort this out. I'd be grateful if you could post the outcome...............................I'm having visions of a legally notarised document confirming the certificate belongs to the passport holder which then needs translating and the translation verifying by the MFA. ????

I can top up my Dtac account via Kasikorn's online banking (no, I don't mean the App). I can't be sure but I would think Bangkok Bank offer the same facility.

Yes it is activated. As I said, there is no mobile signal at my home. Wifi calling works though but I have to set my mobile data to my Thai SIM - not a problem as I don't do many Kasikorn transactions. I don't know whether its specific to my phone but whereas when I am using the mobile network, calls can be made and received on either SIM, with Wifi calling, I have to choose which
