Meanwhile, Bangkok Airways’ four-weekly flights between Samui and Phuket – introduced to support the ‘Phuket Sandbox’ programme – will continue as normal. These operate on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Please note that the latest COVID-19 control measures announced on 24 July, 2021, for domestic travel to Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan are not enforced for travel between Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan, or travellers under the Phuket Sandbox travelling by air to Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan, or other endorsed projects to reopen pilot destinations.

This means that foreign tourists under the Phuket Sandbox programme can still travel between Phuket and Samui, in accordance with the necessary screening measures in place for health and safety.
