Hi, 

(Unvaccinated here, so I will need Negative PCR Test and Thailand pass both 72 hours before departure) 

I am seeing that I am supposed to apply for Thailand Pass 72 hours before my departure but i also need a negative pcr covid test  that is taken 72 hours before my departure. To get the PCR test i will need to wait 24-48hours for results. Do you see how this conflicts with the Thailand pass? 

How do i go about this? Or where is the hole in my thinking? Thanks guys.

They seek advice on how to manage these conflicting requirements and have received suggestions including faster PCR testing options, consideration of tests on arrival, and preliminary tests for peace of mind.

You could also opt for PCR on arrival if you're worried about timings. Maybe take an ATK before leaving for your own peace of mind?

You can to get the PCR result in three hours if you pay extra. The pass was approved in 8 hours. Give yourself a little flexibility in the test. Our plane was a little late leaving London yesterday.

I gave the PCR 68 hours before in case the flight was delayed. Got the result back in three hours. Straight away applied for the Thai pass and got it less than 12 hours later. Next month it will be approved straight away so no waiting
