Do I still need to take the second COVID test on day 5 after arriving in Thailand from the UK?

The question pertains to the need for a second COVID test on day 5 after traveling to Thailand from the UK. Responses indicate that a refund or credit for the day 5 hotel and test is possible, depending on the hotel's terms. Furthermore, if a traveler has already taken their first test and it was negative, they may leave the hotel. However, a second test is still required if they are still in Thailand before their departure.
