TLDR : Answer Summary

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. Users mention the 'sandbox' program for travel to Samui, emphasizing the potential need for a direct approach to comply with regulations.

@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..

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.

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.
