  • I got a reply from Thai Airways,   no tests nor certificates are needed to depart Thailand.  So that solves the question for me, with the best possible outcome.

I just came back to the USA.  America only requires an ATK (rapid antigen test) within 24 hours before departure.  I got mine in Bangkok.

Located at the Hyatt in Sukumvit, near Soi Cowboy.  990 THB.  Results in 20 minutes.  Just walk-in or make an appointment online. They give you a document (Covid test result) you show at the airport. Very easy.

You will need a viral test (NAAT or antigen test) to determine if you are currently infected with COVID-19.

If you are arriving on a direct flight to the United States, your test must be done within one (1) calendar day before your flight to the United States departs. If you are arriving to the United States via one or more connecting flights, your test must be done in the one (1) day before the first flight in your itinerary, but only if the connecting flights were booked as a single passenger booking with a final destination in the United States and any layovers no longer than 24 hours. If your connecting flight to the United States was booked separately or a layover in your itinerary lasts longer than 24 hours, or your travel is disrupted and you leave the airport, you will need to get tested within the one (1) day before your flight that arrives in the United States.

Actually, the US changed the requirement from 24 hours before to one day before.   From CDC:: "

  • If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status or citizenship) no more than 1 day before you travel by air into the United States. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.
