Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone knew where it will be quickest to do a covid test in Bangkok? I will be flying from Suvarnabhumi to the UAE some day next week and I need to have my cover test 72 hours before travel,Is it possible to do the test at Suvarnabhumi airport or is that just for incoming flights?

The less time I have to spend in Bangkok the better with everything going on.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Devan

Not at the airport, you have to go to a hospital. Most of the private hospitals can do it.

 

If you want something fairly close to the airport then

HI Sheryl,

I just spoke to them and they said they would like one to two days for an appointment, I'm not sure what day I will be travelling yet as my flight details are not in from work.

So one to two days notice and 24 hours for results.

 

I was hoping for a faster turn around if I could, The incoming flights to Suvarnabhumi is only a 70 minute test and result,

 

I know this is Thailand.

 

Regards

Can't you get the test done where you are staying? Emirates Airlines recommended me to use Chularat 9 Airport Hospital https://ch9airport.com/en/home/ and told I could get a discount by showing my Emirates ticket.

Why not call another hospital in BKK? There are many. 

I don't think any will be any quicker. But he might indeed be able to get it near where he lives, depending on where that is.

I live between Nakhon Phanom and Sakon Nakhon so neither do the covid test here for travelling.

 

I just spoke to CH9 hospital, They said the results will take 48 hours and if you want a 24 hour results you have to go to CH3 Hospital.

Hi Sheryl, They quoted 6500 to 8000 for foreigner and Thai persons 3000 to 5000.

that's more than Samitivej but if they can guarantee 24 hour results the net savings (in time and hotel stay) may be well worth it

I think it is looking like a minimum of a 3 day stay in Bangkok at the moment.

My wife just spoke to CH3 and they gave a cheaper price than the CH9 call centre gave to me they said 4000 baht for foreigners and thais, but 48 hours for the results.

It was up to 96 hours prior and not 72 when I flew with Emirates last week. Doesn't really help you but it may allow better planning

Thanks Rhacsyn,

 

It's my company that is stipulating the 72 hours across the board.

So I could be flying with any company.

So Bangkok Hospital, seems to be the best, they start they're testing for foreigners at 7am and they will have the results in 24 hours,Thats 6500 baht, but if you arrive at the hospital after 5pm its 7000 baht.

Hi Sheryl,

 

True Sheryl, and unfortunately I will have to return to collect my results as they don't email them to you.

But of all the hospitals I spoke to today they seemed the most sure of how long it would take for results, they said between 12 and and before 24 hours.
