Can I exchange currency and buy a SIM card at the airport during the Test and Go program in Thailand?
Question for the test and go program, is it a managed process of getting off , showing documents , taking the test , off to hotel , or can you do things in the airport like exchange currency and buy a SIM card before going to your 1 night sha hotel?
Answer summary
During the Test and Go program in Thailand, while passengers are generally funneled to the transport area after showing documents and taking the test, some activities like exchanging currency and purchasing a SIM card may be permissible at the airport. Specifically, there are ATMs available at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and a SIM card counter in the baggage claim area. However, it's advisable to consider that passengers are treated with caution, similar to those who have COVID-19, until their test results come back negative.

What airport? I know there's ATMs available at BKK before you get shuttled off, but not sure about currency exchange and definitely not SIM cards. For the most part they treat you like you have Covid until your test comes back negative, so think of things you would be allowed to do if you have Covid.
