Three More Provinces Added to Sandbox Program, Test & Go Pre-approved Applicants Allowed to Enter Thailand

[DeckardFarang]

Hey everyone. I'm doing the Surat Thani sandbox application and ran into a snag.

 

Has anyone had experience doing this? There are Samui clinics online that offer testing, but how would one pre-book and prove the initial airport test? 

 

Someone directed me to the Phuket option for this at https://www.thailandpsas.com/ but it seems to only be for Krabi and Phuket.

 

Perhaps because it just came back, they haven't sorted this out yet.

It was my understanding that there are "safe corridor" connecting flights to Saumi, as there are no international connections. 

There is , follow Richard Barrow FB he’s just published the new rules for Samui and other islands. You can go through Bangkok but only with the two flights on one ticket.

The test and go are vaxed and tested, some 2% while the virus is all over thailand already so keeping nothing out open is not going to bring a new wavecurrent which is milder anyway will have ripped through thailand by end of feb see some normalcy high season 22.

So that means you can not order the ticket yourself online and when you land go and collect your luggage and check straight back in??
Is there even any option online to book connecting tickets with 2 airlines for users??

I'm not sure how to make it work. I'm arriving in BKK at 5am on Swiss and could easily make a connection to either of the quarantine flights to Samui. But Swiss Air and my travel agent say it's impossible to book it straight through. 

 

Typically Thai, make it incredibly complicated and difficult and then wonder why no one is coming.
