Let me clarify Sandbox Quarantine in Thailand. If you are double vaccinated you can fly into Phuket and do your quarantine time of 14 days and 4 Covid tests confined to the island, not a room, the island.
After 14 days, you can travel elsewhere in Thailand.

Thailand opens for fully vaccinated Tourists - but only from a few Countries
China, Germany, Singapore, the UK and USA - tourists from these countries can visit Thailand from 1st November without quarantine. This has been announced by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha. So it will happen. In his Television adress to Thai people he did not mention other countries, but said, the opening would start with a list of at least ten countries.
Who comes from China, Germany, Singapore, the UK and USA, will have to provide the certificate, that he is fully vaccinated, will have to make a test within 72 hours before the flight and make a test after arriving in Thailand and have to stay in a so called SHA plus hotel until the the negative test result arrives. Afther that he will be able to travel around in Thailand, but has to follow the provincial guidelines for entry, which are published by the domestic airlines. Read the speach of Prayut Chan-ochas here.
Who comes from other countries, has still to go for 7 night to a quarantine hotel or can avoid this by flying directly to Phuket or Koh Samui and take part in the Sandbox model. This means: Fully vaccinated, test before flying, test after arrival, stay one night in hotel until the test result arrives, then can move freely in Phuket or Koh Samui area. Read:

An Island in the Mega-City: Koh Sarn Chao Community ชุมชนเกาะศาลเจ้า
See the locations of Koh Sarn Chao an #MyKrungthep Google Map
"It’s like entering a different world that’s cool, green and insulated from the harsh concrete landscape outside", writes Tour Bangkok Legacies about Koh Sarn Chao Community ชุมชนเกาะศาลเจ้า in Taling Chan district of Bangkok. It looks like an island or a green oasis between highways and urban development. And its name means "island of shrine".
If you visit Ko Sarn Chao community you may start at Wat Champa วัดจำปา. Its history ist not clear. Some say it built in 1822 during the reign of King Rama II. But others believe that the temple was built in the Ayutthaya era and underwent a massive restoration in the reign of King Rama III.

There are figures of crocodiles on the roof:
A pond behind the prayer hall is belived to contain holy water, which cures illnesses.:
Wat Champa lies along Khlong Ban Sai
From Wat Champa the Champa Kanchanaphisek Alley leads to Koh Sao Charm community. Its houses are built along narrow canals leading into Khlong Bang Sai คลองบางไทร and Khlong Bang Ramat คลองบางระมาดกั. People here move by boat or on raised pedestrian footpathes. Soon you reach a traditional Thai house, Ban Sawang Chan บ้านสว่างจันทร์. Owner Khun Thaweesak Wangchan shows the house to visitors on weekends. He also offers homestay (contact: Facebook). He also demonstrates banana trunk carving. Carved banana trunk is used for religious ceremonies like ordination or funeral. He helped to develop Koh Sarn Chao community as a tourist destination. On weekends the boat operators at Lat Mayom floating market bring visitors to Koh Sarn Chao. At Baan Suan Rim Klong there is a pier.

At Dr. Toi’s Garden House you an get organic herbal drinks like butterfly peas (อัญชัญ), torch ginger (ดาหลา), Chrysanthemum (เก๊กฮวย) and fruits from their own garden during the weekend.
A recommended stop is at Grandma Berm’s house, where you get desserts like banana cake (Khanom Kluay; ขนมกล้วย) and banana in sticky rice (Kao Tom Mud; ข้าวต้มมัด). She also offers Banana cake cooking workshops:
How you arrive:
You can take buses, which stops on Boromratchonnanee Road (123, 124, 125, 146, 149, 507, 511 and 516), a red Songthaew from Siriraj Hospital or on weekends a boat from Klong Lad Mayom Floating Market.
