^ well the more time i spend driving and not watching Cricket the happier i am going to be
Hi all,
Still confused by the Test&Go testing requirements.
I intend to arrive in Phuket, spend 5 days and fly off to Chiang mai for another 7 days.
Do I have liberty to fly off to Chiang Mai without further testing other than the initial PCR test upon arrival?
For the day 6&7 ATK self test, I dont have to stay 7 days in phuket right? I could do the test in whatever location?
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Where to get a same day PCR test (Not the ATK test) with a certificate in English to enter EU in Bangkok please.
Be really obliged of personal recommendations or tips or
Contact details
Turn around time, I assume 2 trips ? No idea how long the process in a hospital /clinic etc
Ideal would test Monday Pm , collect paper copy Tuesday for Tuesday night flight

I know the city quite well will be staying in Thonglor but anywhere on MRT /Skytrain is doable
^ One of the only places I found last minute with availability was The Bangkok Hospital, Huay Kwang in Bangkok. The turnaround was guaranteed in 6 hours (I think) so an early morning test on the same day as a night flight was necessary as Norway required a negative PCR cert within 24 hours of arrival.
I seem to remember I put the details near the start of the work thread I did (late August). Cost I think was around 5000 Baht.
This is the one I see most often recommended.

They have a same day option, presumably more expensive.

Just reading about a tour group of 40 who arrived this morning. All tested and taken to their hotel rooms for one night.
One person tested positive and now they are all in quarantine for 14 days.
Merry fucking Xmas and insurance won't cover you if you're not sick!
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
got a link to that story harry? i need to send it to someone about to travel to thailand.
^^ and that is what makes travel outside your own country still such a lottery, have to feel for those people, holiday fooked and all that extra expense
gonna be fun returning to the UK, a PCR test required within 48 hours of landing but they have run out of tests
Finally! You've posted something sensible on the UK COVID situation compared to Thailand.
And it's only taken a couple of years.
You would have to be a bit of a tard to travel in a group these days.
So many things to possibly go wrong.
They started early on quarantining people in the seats near an infected person, but they refuse to say what the rules are. A seat either side? Rows front and behind?
And there were two guys (not seated together on the plane) in a taxi to the hotel and one tested positive; the other was forced to quarantine.
Like most people, I checked with the hotel who just said they send "hotel transport", so I paid an extra Bt500 to make sure I have my own car.
Swampy was mad yesterday. Took me two hours to get out and another two waiting for a hotel room to be free.
Those that arrived in the evening took six hours. It seems a lot of people are in for Xmas.
The app still doesn't work but now they have an email for your ATK.
I just phoned mine through to my ASQ hotel after they said it doesn't work for some, didn't even bother pissing around with the app.
"Test and Go" might be cancelled:
Thai government to consider cancelling Test & Go entry scheme - Health Minister | Thaiger
Nearly two months after Thailand opened its doors to international tourism, the country may tighten restrictions and cancel the quarantine exemption scheme, Test & Go. In an interview on Channel 9, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said that the Thai government will discuss whether to cancel the entry scheme due to the uptick in Omicron cases.
If the Test & Go scheme is cancelled, vaccinated travellers would still be able to enter Thailand under the “sandbox” scheme which allows them to roam freely in a province or district approved for the pilot tourism programme, such as Phuket and Koh Samui. They must say in the “sandbox” area for seven days before travelling to other areas of Thailand.
