TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about whether they need a new tourist visa after changing their travel plans from the Phuket Sandbox program to the Test and Go entry scheme, starting in Bangkok. The consensus among commenters is that a new visa is not required since the original 60-day tourist visa remains valid for 90 days upon issuance.

 that was replaced by the ThailandPass system months ago. Visas and the ThailandPass are independent of each other. Everyone needs a ThailandPass. Depending on nationality and length of stay you may not need a visa.

No your visa is valid for 90 days upon issue.

Thaipass and immigration are different things
