TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry seeks to determine whether it is possible to enter Thailand with a Covid recovery certificate if the RT-PCR test results remain positive. The conversation includes references to a lack of definitive answers in other groups, concerns about testing requirements, and advice on regulations regarding recovered patients and vaccinations.

no prob i copy privies lad! Google " entering thailand with covid recovery certificate - thus - - If you have recovered from being infected from COVID-19 and the RT-PCR test before travelling is still positive, travellers need to show a medical record (issued within 3 months) stating that they have recovered from COVID-19. May be vaccinated with only one dose if fully recovered from COVID-19.

- If you have been fully vaccinated before being infected, you can use your vaccine certificates to enter the country as "fully vaccinated" and a medical record (issued within 3 months) stating that they have recovered from COVID-19.

** All those who have been infected will have to take a RT-PCR test before travelling as stated in No. 2. **

Can you get a test on the NHS to see if you prove negative or positive? I am in a different boat to you. Had Covid in Thailand and need to go to Europe for work in Feb - I am worried about a +ve test. Will go in January for a test here to see what happens.

I was never tested for it but after I had a viral load and neutralising antibody tests at Bumrungrad. The Prof of Infectious Disease I saw said I must have had it. He had to write a letter to my work saying I was no longer contagious so I could visit the office. The viral load test was high at 93.9 (Over 35 is considered high). This has me worried I may test positive. for a while. It was pre-Omicron in October but only had sniffles and sore throat.

Hope so - the Thai's panic. Even though i was never in the office while I was sick or contagious they sent everyone home for a few days till they got the guys in Hazmat suits to fumigate the place :-)

Lots of similar questions have been asked in various groups last few days. I have not seen a definitive answer yet. Good luck and hope it goes well.
