Hello. I will only have a transit/transfer at BKK for only 6hrs. My question is am I required to have a RT-PCR test or my proof of vaccination is enough?

I saw this and it says OR.

Thank you for your inputs.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The query is about the requirements for a short transit at Bangkok (BKK) airport, specifically whether a passenger needs an RT-PCR test or if proof of vaccination suffices, referencing a guideline that allows for either option.

Gilnela Vergara. So you'd only need any tests stipulated by the airline and for entry to Philippines. You don't need one to be in the airport

Well, because according to the picture above, it's either a test OR proof of vaccination so I have to be sure. 😊

Gilnela Vergara..Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were already in Thailand and transiting from a domestic flight. I don't know how it works. I didn't think international transfers were permitted in Bangkok. Do you have a through ticket?

yes I do have a through ticket. International transfers are allowed it's just that I need clarification with the requirement. I called my airline and they said it's not needed (the test) but the thai govt says otherwise.

The airline is the authority that will be providing your boarding passes. International transfers have been allowed at BKK for some time. Do you not need a PCR test to enter PI anyway?

I dont need PCR test to enter PH. I think I will just get one just in case, I dont want a hassle on my flight. Thanks for the input

Gilnela Vergara. In that case I would do what the Thai government is saying.
