TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler in Germany wants to know about allowed routes to Phuket and the possibility of changing flights during the Sandbox immigration process. Based on the comments, it is possible to change flights in multiple places like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur as long as everything is on one ticket, and luggage is checked through to Phuket. However, transit through Bangkok is not allowed at this time.

You cannot go via Bangkok. Must arrive from international departure point into HKT

There is some speculation about allowing transfer via Bangkok but I believe atm it’s just speculation. Rules change frequently so keep an eye on the visa forums for updates.

As long as everything is on one ticket. You cannot pick your bags up in BKK all luggage has to be checked through to HKT.

@Sebastian ******

layovers are not restricted. You are not entering the country outside the airport, so you can layover anywhere. Airlines would not be able to fly through if you couldn't.
