What PCR test requirements and insurance documentation are necessary for children traveling to Phuket under the Sandbox program?
Hi all,
Going to Phuket under Sandbox, prepared everything except docs for my son.
22 m.o., do I need to book 2 RT-PCR for him? Thaiembassy say for small children they take saliva test, no details what method is it.
His insurance, do I need to upload it into thaipass system?

Answer summary
Traveling to Phuket under the Sandbox program, parents of young children (22 months old) need to book RT-PCR tests for their child, as required by Phuket airport protocols. While there are oral saliva tests available for infants, it is currently safest to follow guidelines which suggest booking the standard PCR test. Additionally, all travelers, including infants, need to obtain a Thai Pass for entry, which involves documenting insurance coverage; parents are expected to upload this insurance information as part of the process.

You have to book the Phuket airport PCR test like you for the adults. Then on arrival they simply swab the inside of their cheeks vs for adults sticking it up your nose. Kids also need a Thai pass - you can add a dépendant when you do your application.

On the PSAs booking site it says that everyone including infants needs PCR test, so if there is a way to get RAT I'd love to know!
