TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers heading to Phuket are expressing concerns about COVID-19 protocols, including quarantine rules which arise from potential exposure during flights. Discussions reveal mixed feelings; some find the procedures inconvenient but manageable, while others argue against the restrictions in place. There is also clarification regarding who must quarantine if a plane passenger tests positive, indicating that not all passengers would be affected. The overall sentiment reflects frustration with the ongoing situation, especially from those who have traveled to Thailand frequently before the pandemic.

Planes have carefully constructed, adapted for COVID and functioning air circulation systems. Do Immigration offices? Of course not, how could they afford such. I think poiticians and Public Health authorities need a good walk in the sunshine. Consult scientific authorities, businessmen and women, talk to some families and singles managing (or not) through this - then make decisions based on common sense

Maybe spaced chairs was the best they could do.

this has happened and the whole plane didn’t have to quarantine, just the group traveling together and anyone sitting next to them

Still shitty but hardly “everyone on the plane”
