RandolphGB Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The UK accepts an ATK test or PCR test to travel there. (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england#when-to-take-your-test) There's no guidance on how to show the negative proof. Is a certificate from a clinic in Bangkok acceptable? Where is this shown? Is it shown to the check-in desk at Suvarnabhumi before departure? Are there clinics in Bangkok that do ATK tests with proof of negative and not PCR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanookmike Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm not sure how you would go about it Thailand, I have just arranged mine from the UK. Lots of services online and it's pretty cheap around £30, they send you a antigen test with code printed on it. You just take it with you and when you decide to return you do the test, take a photo of the result and they email you a result notification signed by a doctor. The websites explain in more detail but that's basically it... You will be asked to show it at check in, airline may refuse boarding but legally they shouldn't. UK says you can board but you will get a fine think it's £500 same as the passenger locator form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapson Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 A few weeks ago you just needed to be double vaccinated before flying to the uk no pre flight test, but antigen test booked for day two of arrival was a requirement. Seems goalposts have shifted again now its pre flight Pcr or Antigen test and a day two pre booked paid for Pcr test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a post above yours they will ask for it even if it is in fact not 100% needed.. Probably better to have it ready, it will be needed when you arrive for sure. 7 hours ago, Sanookmike said: You will be asked to show it at check in, airline may refuse boarding but legally they shouldn't.

I have 4 nights left I can't recommend any as I've never used them but if I was you I'd be looking to have a PCR done at the hospital in Bangkok seeing as your time is running short.

clarky23 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hi, we just fly to UK Sunday. I recommend Sukhumvit Hospital at Ekkamai BTS, efficient, 24h service to get PCR result via email. Got tested around 8.30am, results came around <8h. PCR with fit to fly certificate costs 3200bht per person. Certificate checked at flight checkin. There are long checkin queues as staff have to check many documents before issung boarding card and no online checkins with thai airways right now.

Steps Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Has anybody used the Antigen test and got a fit to fly certificate off that test from anywhere in Bangkok? Just curious. I would personally prefer to use the antigen test over the PCR test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
