persimmon Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Now travellers need a negative Covid test 48 hrs before travelling . Doesn`t have to be PCR , can be Antigen LF which should be cheaper . These are self testing , but I assume it will require a certificate and QR code to be accepted . Any idea if this sort of thing is widely available in Patts , or would it be better to buy a kit in the UK and self test and send the result via smartphone ?

2ndhomepattaya Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 In order to board an international flight out of Thailand you will need to show a RT-PCR test not older then 48 hours. Antigen wont cut it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to go to a clinic to get a formal test result. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used LFD/ATK which is cheaper and there was no problem. Must be done in the 2 days before travel. Info here.

I went to the hospital in Yasothon they did the Antigen test and gave me a print out of test result and a form that says I am free from Covid etc… cost 750 you will probably find a clinic nearby that does the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot do self test. It must be done at a proper clinic who will supply test results in the format needed. This needs to be shown on check-in or you won't be allowed to board the plane. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you need a covid passport to show your vaccinated on departure.?or just a paper certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper certificate given to you after second shot should be ok it has a QR code you can scan with your phone line app etc which will link directly to the Thai governments web site showing your details of vaccination, passport number and dob etc in both English and Thai. Photograph the QR code to your phone so it can be checked in case the certificate gets damaged or lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I arrived in Thailand, I had an Antigen test sent to me, this is a self test which I will complete before I fly home in January, it has a Bar code, which then links to the place I brought it, I will then take a photo of the test, and I will receive a certificate with in 12 hours. So self test are allowed, bearing in mind I will also have to take a PCR test on arrival in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
