TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that visiting Samut Prakan is not allowed under the Thailand Sandbox program. Commenters noted the lack of attractions in the area as well.

UNLESS something radically changed, the answer is no (and what's there in Samut Prakan to see?)

I've seen pictures of it, aren't they very much tourist traps?

Benjamin Hays. Go take a look, but buy your tickets through Klook and then you'll get the same price as Thai people. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I'll look into it. I'll be in Bangkok on Wednesday. What BTS station is it by?

Benjamin Hays. Erewan Museum closest station is Chang Erewan. For Ancient City go to the end of the line at Kheha and either get Songtaew 36 or get a cab to Ancient City. Ideally you need min four hours for Ancient City. You can do the two in the one day, but get an early start to get the best value. At Ancient City you can use the open bus to get around or you can hire a golf buggy (can't remember the price, but it'll be on the website).

I just read it (been a bit busy today). According to:

***************************************************************************************************
*******
/thailand-reopening-living-in-the-blue-zone-17-sandbox-destinations/

" Krabi, Phang-Nga, and Surat Thani (Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Samui), in addition to Phuket."

So no, Samut Prakan is not listed as one of the sites ๐Ÿ˜•

I meant Richard Barrow lives there, maybe that's why he wants to sandbox there instead of Bangkok ๐Ÿ˜Š
