Covid Test for travel to US - Lopburi

[tjintx]

Hi, does anyone know of an inexpensive Covid testing location in Lopburi.    The test is for return travel to US, thus, can be ATK.   Thank you!

Why not get your ATK test at Swampy airport. It's around 500 bt. Results within 30 minutes.

My understanding is that the only testing at Swampy is for arrivals and, most likely then, on the secured side.  Is there one on the side before security?

Samitivej Hospital has a boot that does for 550 baht for departures. Takes 30 minutes. Open 24/7 Phone number 084-6604096

 

1st floor outside gate 3.

 

My friends daughter in law used this boot a few weeks ago while travel back to USA.

Wife used this Samitivej booth option to fly out two weeks ago and 550 baht and 30 mins as said and before check-in.

Level 1. Gate 3. Outside. Obviously before security.

You could try Benjalom hospital next to Lotus ,it is a privet hospital might not be that cheap,but should be quick

Why not just go to the main Lopbui hospital they can do it for sure ,but being a government hospital might take a while ,and you might have to register with them first ,so take your passport ,I had to.

I got mine at Bangkok Christian Hospital.  Results with a medical certificate available within 1 hour for 800 baht. No appointment needed, but lots of waiting time prior to being tested,  Interestingly enough, the same test and documentation at BNH hospital a few hundred meters away is over 4,000 baht.

 Are both of those ATK tests?   4000+b sounds more like the price for an RT-PCR test.

I know, 4,000 sounds more like an RT-PCR test, but I'm fairly certain this was for a rapid antigen test at BNH. The last time I was there, they said they were doing them in the emergency department.

I know BNH tends to be pricey... but that would be VERY pricey if it was their charge for an ATK test... ????

Left for the states on 31 march and returned 2 days ago. Did our ATK test at home using the video app provided by the airlines. Took around 30 minutes start to finish including cert. We flew Austrian Air and test was required both for transit through Vienna and also for entering the states. 1 cert covered the whole thing. (app was Testifly from google app store) Seems most airlines have an app you can use from home. (United was our domestic link and offered their app as well)

Thanks, may I assume the Samitivej booth provides some sort of certificate for travel? We are going to Philippines which also accepts rapid antigen but I want to make sure they will provide the necessary document showing it was administered by healthcare professionals. Traveling with family so we can't risk it if there is any doubt.

Yes they do provide a certificate
