TLDR : Answer Summary

After taking the second PCR test during your stay in Thailand, the requirement to isolate until receiving the results can vary. Some reports suggest that individuals must return to their hotel and isolate until the results come back, while others recount experiences where they were allowed to continue their activities until receiving a negative result. It's recommended to verify with your specific hotel or local guidelines for the most accurate instructions.

When I was just in Thailand on the Test &Go and had traveled to Phuket where I had taken my 2nd test, I just kept going places till I got my results which were negative. I was never told to return to the hotel.

All Sorted and Booked - Very Helpful - You Pay Hotel as Normal, then they send you a separate 7,500 Bhats for payment due for Bangkok(Jomtien Hospital) which despite the name is in PATTAYA - and They'll pick me up from Airport, and Test me in my room on Day 1 and Day five - I put everything on my SCREENSAVER on my Laptop to Drag and Drop to The THAI PASS when the 1st of February comes - Time-Consuming but very simple - All Up to go, James Miller and for your reference

@Stuart ********

- Was confusing though, because I was wondering why on Day 5 I would have to Go all the way up to Bangkok for the second test, then the penny dropped that they were a Chain of Hospitals using the Name 'Bangkok' in front of the region........ Me silly Irishman - ☘

Still waiting to see specific rules but from reports you’d need to isolate in your room until the second test result.
