Best PCR options in Pattaya There are mostly paid ads on google searches over here so I would also like to know if anyone has recent knowledge on this matter as I'm also planning a trip. It's the whole point of a local forum 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamnanT Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I find all the domestic airlines in Thailand are being incredibly cryptic about their policies on vaccinations and PCR tests. AirAsia, for example, has an entire page on "Flying Safe with AirAsia" which does not mention vaccinations or pre-departure tests at all. "For Malaysians, please ensure that you are eligible to travel". What does that mean? What about everyone else? Are unvaccinated travellers accepted? With or without a PCR test? Nok Air doesn't seem to have anything on it's website other than the arrival requirements in each Thai province they fly to: nothing on requirements to check-in and board.

I had to directly contact Finnair Thailand to find out about their policy for " boarding " and what tests required if any because not stated in the booking info - only destination info and they sent back again info on destination which was all out of date - see my other post about europe accepting the Mor Prom App . I know what is required at my destination better than the airline but it is what is required for boarding I wanted to know ! As it turns out , either PCR or antigen test . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past it has always been PCR test . If more airlines are accepting the antigen test then the monopoly by Bangkok Hospital will quickly loose its appeal and hopefully a few clinics will start up to accommodate demand for antigen tests+certificate .

I know the destination requirements and can comply without tests ,so that part is not the subject anymore . Europe has agreed for travellers from Thailand to enter with the Mor Prom App showing double vaccinations . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue of which airlines -NOT COUNTRIES, which airlines require tests. There is still no central list I'm afraid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen65 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Good news from the author of this topic ( I did try to change the topic to "where can one obtain a an Antigen Test" ( but that seems impossible ) In Jomtien one can get the PCR test for 2800 baht and the Antigen test (with certificate for 750 baht (or very near that figure) so that is considerable cheaper than Bangkok Hospital ( 3500 baht) PLUS many airlines now appear to be accepting either PCR or Antigen / lateral flow tests now for pre boarding which will be a boom for travellers . In 2020 Bangkok Hospital started out charging 6000 baht for PCR tests and one had no choice then - they were the only ones doing it here . The Clinic in Jomtien is "Chanya Medical Clinic" near the Hanumann statue - Tel: 038 303 762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
