Hello !

Did anyone enter recently to Thailand with kids below 5 years old?

It is not clear whether or not they need a PRE-arrival PCR test or not.

thanks for your help and have a nice day!

TLDR : Answer Summary

As of December 16, 2021, children under 6 years old are not required to have a PCR test to enter Thailand. This new rule aims to simplify the entry process for families with young children. However, travelers should verify the requirements with their airline, as they may have different policies regarding PCR tests.
