Kl803/kl804 : Ams-mnl mnl-ams
KL803 / KL804 has a stopover in BKK of 1hour and 10 minutes. I would like to know if passengers disembark or stay on board ? any recent experience ?
If disembarking it seems covid health Insurance is also compulsory (same as in Philippines except amount is 50 K Usd instead of 35K Usd) but it seems no test if fully vaccinated it would apply on KL804 as RT PCR test in required to enter MNL
In summary is a stop treated as a transit in Bangkok ? I check Iata travel center but cannot find difference between transit, Stop. It seems as soon as you walk in the airport it is transit.

As crew changes, generally must exit the aircraft. Same crew can't fly AMS-BKK and then also BKK-MNL, so crew is going AMS-BKK, then next day BKK-MNL-BKK and then BKK-AMS next day. (Unless they're tying up seats to deadhead crew)
As for how Thailand is handling passenger i don't know. However the passengers on MNL-BKK are all continuing onto AMS. There's no MNL-BKK only passengers.

I second this. Business class passengers do not have to disembark at UIO when continuing to GYE for instance.

I can tell you in Covid times, airport are usually very happy to let all those heavily infected-pax on board to avoid contamination of the virus-free citizens
