TLDR : Answer Summary

Under the Test & Go program in Thailand, travelers can leave the country after taking the RT-PCR test on Day 1, without needing to remain in Thailand until Day 5. However, it is necessary to upload a departure ticket when applying for the Thailand Pass. There is no requirement for a second RT-PCR test on Day 5 if you choose to leave early.

I think most countries make you test to go home. You will most likely need 2 test either way.

Can't understand the responses to this post, perhaps the guy is staying a few days "in transit", I have done the same thing in the past, usually to break up the trip.

, originally the final destination is to Laos. But Laos flights are not posted on any website. Being in Thailand for more than 24hrs and I am required to do the whole nine, so I mind as well enjoy for 7 days there.

Each to their own, perhaps people are over the last two years and want to travel. They shouldn't be questioned over their intentions.

, I already did the whole Thai Pass, I booked the 7 days hotel etc… Since I already paid for 7 nights, I’m think just enjoy my time there. If I’m bored, I might want to leave, who knows.
