Thank you for your help

Summary so far

The user seeks clarification on quarantine requirements for a flight itinerary from Athens to Koh Samui with a stopover in Phuket. The comments suggest confusion regarding current transit rules, indicating that direct flights to Koh Samui may be necessary due to restrictions on international flights from Phuket.

@Tr***

do you know the answer? Can one book to Samui Plus via Phuket without doing sandbox in Phuket? This expat has ticket to Samui via Phuket??

We came a month ago and incoming flights to sandbox must go directly to sandbox, flights from Bangkok are not for international sandbox..

So that means i dont have to stay Phucket for quarantine from the moment my final destination is Koh Samui.

As far as I was aware you could only fly to Bangkok and get one of the special “sandbox” flights to Samui. I dont believe there’s been any flights between Phuket and Samui for ages.

@Ilias ********

it sounds like it. Possibly something like the sandbox 7+7. I’d check with your ticket agent as I don’t think there have been and flights between the islands for a while, nor any plans to do so.
