TLDR : Answer Summary
The traveler inquires about the COVID testing requirements for unvaccinated children aged 7 and 8 when traveling to Thailand, in light of their mother's vaccination status.

thanks very much. Yes this I was I going by until I red the conditions set out by Finnair stating that anyone over the age of 6 travelling should be tested. The exception being is “their parents or guardians are vaccinated” . Was just looking to confirm as only their mother is vaccinated then they would not need tested?

well that's not helpful is it 🙄

Why do they have to make it all so complicated...

Is it that you need to show tests for the flight not so much abt entering Thailand. ?

Could you call Finnair for clarification..

this was using Finnairs checking system and inputting flying from Edinburgh to Bangkok transferring through Finland. I think I might just get them tested to stay on the safe side. Thanks again
