ORIGINAL POSTER

I bought my arrival ticket but I will change my flight at Bangkok airport and wait 1 hour then I will take a flight to Phuket

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the feasibility of changing flights at Bangkok airport before heading to Phuket and where to arrange a PCR test appointment. Comments suggest that upon arriving in Bangkok, the user must go through immigration and handle their luggage, which implies that a PCR appointment should be made for Bangkok, not Phuket.
