TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the complexity and frustration surrounding the process of flying to Thailand's Sandbox destinations, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Users share experiences about stringent paperwork checks upon arrival, and there are inquiries about flight logistics, specifically connecting flights from the U.S. to Koh Samui via Bangkok. It is emphasized that the Bangkok to Samui flight must match the designated flight numbers for the Sandbox program, highlighting the challenges faced by travelers in navigating these requirements.

There are no tickets for the entire route from America to Samui. My mother in law wants to visit but would have to take Qatar airways to Bangkok then take Bangkok airways to Samui. Is that okay?

You can't tell what? You have to choose the flights. I know they codeshare but doesn't it list the PG flight number?

actually, once you figure out what you need to do, it is a pretty smooth process. Just set aside an hour uninterrupted to do it all.

Yes it’s getting everything ready that takes time and effort. I applied for myself yesterday and had to do it 3 times from the beginning. But today did my husband’s in 20 minutes first time. Bit of a learning curve with the IT for me but I’m a bit of an old fart now😂😂
