Dear Sir/Madam

I have a flight booked on the 07 April 2021 at 23.50, from Bangkok to Birmingham,the flight stops in transit for over 3 hours in Amsterdam airport and will resume my journey to Birmingham 08 April at 10.00 am.

 

My question is ,on what day/date should i take a covid test here in Thailand ? As all tests take 24 hours to receive back

Yours sincerley 

Paul 

 

Take the test less than 72 hours before your initial flight from Bangkok.

 

medconsultasia in Thonglor do same day testing.

And what other documentation is needed? i understood need a valid covid test paper and a fir to fly certificate , How to get that?

The OP should plan on getting tested on 6th April as results will be ready within 24-hours on 7th April, the day of flying. The late departure is handy. Even if the OP opts to test on 5th, get results on 6th and fly on 7th, he will still be in BHX early 8th before the 72-hours are up.

The hospital will issue the Covid-free certificate when collecting the test results. They may also issue the fit-to-fly certificate for additional cost as it is not specific to Covid. This is based on BH Udon Thani's procedures. Best to ask at your test facility.

YMMV

No Fit to Fly certificate is needed for the OP's journey.

Good point. We must trust that the airport check-in staff are aware of this. For the additional 500 baht that BH in Udon charges, it allows for contingencies such as dim airline staff or redirected flights, unscheduled stopovers, etc.. I'm a belt and braces kinda guy.
