Can I buy separate air tickets (e.g. SIN-BKK and BKK-USM)?
No, at least not on the way to Samui. Your itinerary to Koh Samui must be on a singlebooking, e.g. SIN-BKK-USM. Unfortunately for miles chasers, this means you can’t use your KrisFlyer miles to redeem a SIN-BKK ticket and your Etihad miles to redeem a separate BKK-USM ticket. The good news is that Singapore Airlines’ website sells a combined SIN-BKK-USM itinerary, with SIN-BKK on Singapore Airlines and BKK-USM on Bangkok Airways’ sealed route. For your return leg, whether or not you need to b...
What kind of hotels can I book?
Sandbox travellers must book an approved SHA Extra+ (not to be confused with SHA or SHA+) or AQ accommodation. If you already have a hotel in mind and just want to check that it’s SHA Extra+ approved, enter its name in the search field. Now, the official requirements say you need to make a prepaidbooking for your hotel, but in practice I’ve found that’s not the case. You could, for example, redeem a refundable points reservation, then contact the hotel to add on the “Sandbox package” which ty...
Must I stay at least seven nights?
While the Thailand Pass portal mentions a 7-day (don’t get confused- it’s actually 7-nights!) hotel booking, that’s only required if you wish to travel outside of the Sandbox to other parts of Thailand. If you’re only intending to stay in the Sandbox and leave Thailand on the same day of your hotel check-out, you can submit a <7-day hotel booking. Make sure the “estimated date of departure” field in the Thailand Pass application coincides with the check-out date of your hotel booking.
Must I stay at the same hotel throughout?
Under the Koh Samui sandbox, you may change hotels up tothree times per visit. The first night must be in Koh Samui (in this case, I’m using the term Koh Samui specifically- this doesn’t include Koh Tao and Koh Pha-ngan). After receiving a negative result on the first PCR test, you can spend the remaining nights at a different hotel in Koh Tao or Koh Pha-ngan.
What kind of insurance do I need?
Non-Thai nationals require travel insurance that has a minimum of US$50,000 (~S$67,300) coverage for COVID-19 medical treatment. I’d highly recommend purchasing AXA’s Sawasdee Thailand policy. It’s very affordable (THB560 for an 8-day trip) and the insurance certificate states in black and whitethe amount of coverage provided.
What are the testing requirements?
Sandbox visitors must take an RT-PCR test on arrival, as well as on Day 5-6. The on arrival test is done at Koh Samui Airport, while the Day 5-6 test is done at Samui Hospital.
Is the day of arrival Day 0 or Day 1?
If your flight arrives from 12.01 a.m to 6.00 p.m, the day of arrival counts as Day 1. If your flight arrives from 6.01 p.m to 12.00 a.m, the day of arrival counts as Day 0.
How much are the on-arrival and Day 5-6 PCR tests?
For Koh Samui, most places will quote 2,200 THB per test(~S$90), per person. This must be prepaid in advance, and you’ll need to submit the booking confirmation as part of your Thailand Pass application. If your travel plans subsequently change, you can request a refund of the PCR test costs, with an admin fee. For Koh Samui, refunds can be requested by emailing info.thedigit@gmail.com(yes, that’s a Gmail address- don’t be so surprised; it’s Thailand). I emailed to enquire how much the refund...
Can I rent a car at the airport and drive to my SHA Plus hotel?
No. If your on-arrival test comes back negative, you can proceed to hire a car and drive around anywhere within the Sandbox area. To avoid the hassle of travelling back to the airport to pick up your car, I’d recommend looking at a service that offers hotel delivery. StayWithCar and samuirentcars.comboth have decent reviews online, though I’ve not tried them out personally. You can drop off the car at the airport upon departure.
Can we stop along the way to the hotel to buy items?
No. Don’t be dumb.
Travelling to Koh Samui isn’t as straightforward as before, but hopefully the above provides some clarification. If you have additional questions about the Koh Samui sandbox, leave them in the comments below- I’ll try and get them answered during the trip.
