For the requirements entering Phuket I saw something you need  a receipt you paid for the Covid test they will make when you arrived.

How can I pay for that test in advance from abroad?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To pay for the Covid test required upon entering Phuket, you can arrange payment through your SHA Plus hotel. The cost is 8,000 BAHT per person, covering tests at the airport and your hotel, and must be paid in full to obtain your Certificate of Entry (COE). However, it's now also possible to book tests online through the official Thailand PSAS website, bypassing the need to go through hotels. If you prefer to pay directly to your hotel, you can call them, and they will send you a receipt.

That is correct it's 8,000 BAHT each person for covid tests one at the airport two at your hotel and they must be paid in full to get your COE... and Please be aware they go past your brain to the back of your head not very comfortable at all.

Wow , science is not the strong point .

A swab is just taken of the back of your throat ..you may notice its under your head sort of about the middle .

Kathy Eagle Justice. Haha! It feels like that, but it's just that we're not used to having things shoved up our noses. It's a most interesting experience!

oh no there were people that we met my husband included that had pain for hours after getting it done because they went so far up your nose they made you hold your head flat back and they were doing it to adults as well as children these were being done through the Bangkok Hospital across from Big C in Phuket. I refused and put a bandage over my nose and made them test in my mouth...

Kathy Eagle Justice. I'll have to remember that trick! Although the second time is not so bad. The first one is just a total surprise. I didn't have pain, but I had an uncomfortable sensation for a couple of days.
