Enjoy relaxing days dozing in a hammock, sunset walks along white-sand beaches, and feasting on tantalizing treats and world-class cuisine on a Koh Samui vacation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s

to the &#8220;Phuket Sandbox&#8221; concept, the Samui Plus Sandbox (also known as Samui Sealed Route) is a new model of traveling to Samui that allows fully vaccinated international passengers to enter Thailand without having to go through the quarantine process. Koh Samui, along with Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, has been designated as a specific route or tourist destination. The program began on July 15, 2021, and has been revised since October 1, 2021. If they want to go elsewhere in the country, vaccinated tourists must remain at least 7 nights on the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samui_Plus_Sandbox_Travel_Requirements\"><\/span>Samui Plus Sandbox Travel Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When you come to Koh Samui under the no-quarantine program Samui Plus Sandbox, you must adhere to a set of rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Travelers will be restricted in their movements on the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao.
