Supposed to be.

Did you do your test and Go in a Pattaya hotel? If so I would give them a call and ask if you can do it there. Presumably they are still doing it for new guests?

I think it can be done in Pattaya City Hospital. I will go there tomorrow.

It is free

it is a shambles

when you arrived they would have told you to photo a QR code which lists the hospitals you can do it at and a contact number to call. 
they will send you a registration form to fill out (which was completely ignored at jomtien hospital. We were all standing around waiting to be tested when some guy comes and tells us that if you arrived on or after the 26th December, come back tomorrow)

the QR code I took a photo of is attached. No idea if it’s updated or what. Contact them to make the booking.

Hmm, agree with the 'shambles' thing. Got a list of participating hospitals in the Chiang Mai area from the MOPH web site. One was a hospital we regularly use so I went there on a Sunday (big mistake) they had never heard of Test&Go. Another, Lanna Hopsital (also private) I sent an email to their Customer Relations Department and am still waiting for a reply. Thewre was a government hospital quite near but when we got there we were told (despite calling in the morning to make an appointment) it was a two hour wait outside with all the sick people coughing and spluttering around us.

 

We went back to the original hospital during the week and amazingly the weekly crowd had heard of T&G! Took our Thailand Pass QR codes and passport/ID numbers so I assume they updated something (poilce haven't arrested me yet).

 

As for the cost, it didn't help we had lost our pink slips which maybe were "get out of jail free" cards. But they just laughed when I said it was free ('funny felang always with the jokes") and charged us 3000 baht a pop. Ah well.

Does anyone know a hospital in Bangkok that has appointments after 7pm?

 

[Alldar]

So the Pattaya City Hospital is just refusing to do the PCR tests even though they are on the list of government hospitals which are supposed to do the testing!

 

They just send everyone to Banglamung hospital. Basically just a single hospital doing the free test for whole Pattaya. Amazing Thailand.

I was given a voucher for the 2nd test from the hospital which did the 1st. Piyavate Hospital in this case. No one seemed to know what to do with the Pink Slip and the MorChana app did not work, but other than that was seamless.

To be honest I would like to know as well. I called my hotel when it happened and they told me that maybe I can self-test my self using ATK test. But I don't want to risk it because I signed a paper that I will get tested using PCR test.

 

If you will go to Banglamung hospital note that they test only for 2 hours from 9am till 11am. And they are basically only hospital doing the free PCR tests for whole Pattaya. It will be fun tomorrow.

I went to Banglamung Hospital first thing in the morning (8am) for my PCR and was told to wait in line with the crowds of people that were diagnosed with COVID and going into quarantine. Turned around and left absolutely stunned. I've tried four hospitals in total. I'll be overdue on my test from tomorrow.

That is insane. So what will you do? Go to Banglamung again or is some other hospital doing the test? I haven't seen any other hospital from Pattaya on the list..

I believe the only other option is Vibharam Hospital in Laem Chabang about 20km away. I was told at Jomtien Hospital that they're doing the tests until 5pm. I tried to pay the 3,500 at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital but they said they couldn't do the Test & Go tests plus they didn't have any appointments until well after my 7th day. I'll probably make one last attempt at Laem Chabang.

I'd be interested in hearing what your experience is at Banglamung tomorrow if you go. We couldn't see any signs directing us to where the PCR tests were being done. When asked, three separate members of staff pointed us and others at this queue at the back of the hospital. The suitcases give it away, but someone there confirmed that they were going into quarantine.

When I see the picture I really don't know if I will go there. I would probably get covid after tomorrow's testing. Not sure what to do now.

Haven't got sorted yet. I also got the notification on MorChana with what appeared to be a link to somewhere to upload the PCR result to. When I tapped on the notification, it pretty much just disappeared and I couldn't find the link or anything related in the app. I may also just try to upload an ATK test (which I'm doing daily) on there.

I got the notification today again. Rather than opening it, I just typed the URL into a browser. I tried filling out the form and submitting a negative result with a photo of an ATK test, but I keep getting a generic error message back. Perhaps because I'm just putting N/A for the Lab Number

I typed this one up from the notification.

 

There should be a bunch of random characters at the end. I've just crossed these out as I think it's the ID they use to tie the form to an individual.

So I was today at Banglamung hospital and thank god I got this over with. I arrived around 9:20am and there were exactly 200 people before me. First you had to fill in some paper with your details and then wait in first queue for registration (passport + pink slip needed). Then you wait for the vial and then you wait for the test. I had the test done at 11:30, so I was waiting for about two hours.

 

What was not nice there was no distancing, people everywhere around you. And worst thing was that there were whole Russian families with small kids who didn't have face masks and were coughing a lot all over the place.

Were you queueing in the same place shown in my photo or was it somewhere else?
