So, 7 in a van, with the air set on recirculate (because cooling fresh air costs money apparently).  Sounds safe.  ????

Looking at the number of positive covid tests amongst sandboxers, and even less positive tests on test number 3, yes, very safe.

How about the driver?

On a VIP bus (which incidentally costs about 1,000 baht HKT<->BKK) the driver sits in a semi-enclosed space, isolated from the passengers. I think even the normal buses are setup similar to this, so I would say it would be fairly safe.

But I don't think that can be done in a van.
