TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can buy lateral flow/self test kits in Thailand. They are available at pharmacies and convenience stores like 7/11. Prices typically range from 47 baht at 7/11 to around 160 baht at pharmacies, with bulk options available at stores like Boots.

there's a QR code on the box that refers you to a youtube channel that explains how to use it properly...of course in thai but it is pretty easy to follow step by step. Now all i need is a volonteer to shove that probe up my nose, don't know why..scares the crap out of me.

No idea. You can choose either from Boots. The saliva test is recommended for kids

I bought them in a box of 20, but they are individual too. Just look for the ones made in Germany, not China. There is a difference in reliability. Mine were bt40 each.

yep thats the ones. ATK test is most common name here.

Saw them at Pharmacy in Lotus yesterday. Also have seen in some 7 11s.

Just go any Pharmacy and ask for ATK mention lateral flow most people will look at you blank.
