Question: I heard that in the sandbox model, due to one passenger testing positive for covid-19, they quarantined the other remaining passengers on that flight. Can anyone confirm if it's true, and is this the actual policy (you still get quarantined if you test positive? ) Kind of defeats the purpose of setting up a bubble of vaccinated people if you still quarantine for positive tests ...
TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand's Sandbox model, if one traveler in a group tests positive for COVID-19, it is indeed possible for the entire group to be quarantined, but not necessarily the whole flight. Instances were reported where a travel group was quarantined together, while individuals traveling solo may not be affected in the same way. Opinions in the community highlight the inconsistency of these policies and their implications for vaccinated travelers, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the Sandbox model.
