Departing Bangkok via Air, pre-board covid testing requirements.

Leaving Chiang Mai, to overnight in Bangkok and onward to US, what is the covid testing protocol?

Moved to travel to other countries forum.

 

For the US you need a test (antigen OK, does nto have to be PCR) done the day prior to (or day of) departure.

I believe there is a place that can do it within the airport, if you don't plan on going into town.

Here one that is open 24 hours a day for antigen tests at Suvarnabhumi. It is done while you wait for the result.

Are you leaving CM as a one way to BKK or is it a single itinerary (CM-BKK-US)?  If single itinerary, you may want to check with the airline to see if the test is required before boarding in CM.

The Google Maps location linked to and the hospital website aren't very accurate.  They show it outside Door 3 whereas now it is up by Doors 7/8 on the ground floor.
