spidermike007 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Need to head back to the US again. Wondering if anyone has found an inexpensive source for rapid PCR tests in Bangkok. Since some airlines (and the US) seem to require a one day prior to flight result, that seems to limit some of the most reasonable (24-48 hours) testing options. I am seeing prices ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 baht, which is downright stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An antigen test is all that's needed to enter the USA which will be cheaper. Unless there's another reason for getting a PCR just go for this.

The requirement for a PCR test is somewhat individual based on requirements of: - Airline - Destination country - Transit country (if any). Thus: the requirement for an RT-PCR test very much depends on where you are travelling and with which airline. There is no ‘sweeping requirement’.

I'm travelling to US soon on Korean Air. US citizens must present a test (either pcr or antigen) taken within 24 hrs of flight. Antigen much cheaper than PCR. Several hospitals around BKK offer at 550 - 1,100 baht same day service. (Bangkok Hospital, Samitvej, Thai Travel Clinic, etc) Now, I would like to know if the Antigen test site at the lower level of the airport (which I believe is the Thai airways operated/only-for-their-passengers-free-service) is also available for non-Thai Airways passengers who pay. Cannot find this info anywhere. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/travel-insurance/covid-travel-rules-usa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackayae Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 1050 baht for the antigen test at Swampy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you can try this one instead: Edited as I'm not sure I read the Thai pricing table correctly. Edited April 1, 2022 by treetops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
