- One day in your room... then you are free. Sandbox requires daily check-ins and a second brain RT-PCR.
- RT-PCR test + follow up (self administered) antigen test is included.
Only two downsides I experienced:
- Bangkok airport car pickup was a disaster. Not organized like Phuket. But, I think it will get better.
- Test took over 12 hours to get back. Phuket is typically 4-7 hours. Again, I think this will get faster.
Yes you can get prepaid tests refunded, minus small fee.
Thanks for your report, and glad all went well. I arrive at BKK on Monday morning and will report on how arrival went. Hopefully "Smooth as Silk"...

Converted a couple pdf files to jpegs, but all went thru without issue.
Hoping to get ThaiPass approval with QR code, as that seems easier when at BKK, and less likely of any confusion about test and go versus some other quarantine scheme that requires COE.
Will also update when I hear back, with hopefully a quick approval. Depart on Saturday.
Received my ThaiPass overnight, so about 2 days processing for me. Very happy to have it as seems much more straightforward then assuming COE is interpreted correctly for Test and Go.
Love the big green box that states "
Exemption from Quarantine" on the ThaiPass !
