COVID test in Hua Hin for Int'l travelers

[Marvest]

If Bangkok is inconvenient for you or you prefer a PCR test in Hua Hin the day before departure, there are at least three choices as of December 24, 2021.  

 

Note to Bell Travel bus passengers leaving from RRC bus terminal near Hua Hin airport: The San Paulo Hospital may be your best option.  There are two bus departures from Hua Hin to Suvarnabhumi airport (10:00 and 14:00).  The San Paulo Hospital administers tests as early as 08:00.  This allows for enough time to complete the process at the hospital and make it to the RRC bus terminal in time for either departure.

Update 26 February 2022

 

San Paulo Hospital has reduced their rate to 3200 baht.  The process remains the same including an emailed test result.  They have added a medical certificate option for an additional 300 baht, but not needed for travel.

 

Maven Stylish Hotel also offers a test for guests with result the next morning at 10:00 a.m. (via San Paulo).  This might be useful for someone who needs an evening test with result the next morning.  The package price is:

 

One guest, one night, one PCR test: 5200 baht

Two guests, one room, one night, two PCR tests: 8400 baht
