bamboozled Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi folks, can anyone recommend a place to get the PCR test prior to international air travel? I've found a few places online, a couple clinics, Bangkok Hospital...just wondering if anyone has personal experience. Thank you and cheers!

bamboozled Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Well I got a response from HCMC on Hang Dong Rd and I've been there before. They can set an appt. for me and get it done all in a day so I think I'll go that route. Maybe this info will help someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddyfield7 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I had my RT-PCR-Test taken at Bangkok Hospital, Chiang Mai, before 09:00 a.m., and got the result 19:30 p.m. same day. It did cost, however, THB 3,800. That was on 1st June 2021, and possibly it costs less meanwhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Mickmanus Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have been making a few enquiries and CM Ram hospital seems to be the best option , go before 8 AM and get the results by lunchtime , go at midday and get the results in the evening . Open every day and no need to make an appointment 3500 Baht and they seemed to be the most professional . Some other places were unsure about the procedure and needed a doctor to take a swab test . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamboozled Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Some good info here, thanks all! I'm sure it will help a few people. I knew about the CM Mediclinic. It is the first to pop up on a google search. Price is the same as HCMC and since I've been before to HCMC I think I'll opt for that one. I didn't know about RAM. That's a quick turnaround and could be useful because the timing is so crucial. Cheers all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboozled Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Hey folks, to revive the thread... For travelers to the US, if I'm not mistaken, what I'm reading at this moment is a PCR test is not required. That is, an antigen test is sufficient as long as it is certified by a doctor/hospital. On my first google search, I found that Bangkok Hospital offers this for 700 baht and I'm sure there are others, too. I'm going to shore up my research as I was convinced a PCR test was needed but the CDC webpage says an antigen test is sufficient. This is good news.

OnTheLash Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Word of caution!! Some countries will require the test certificate to have a QR code. The Bangkok Hospital Chaing Mai certificate doesn't have one. My test cert was refused at check in, in Bangkok, I missed my flight, had to get another test at Princ Hospital in Bangkok and fly the next day. An unexpected curve ball!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
