How do I use the Morchana app for COVID testing in Thailand?

Ok my Thaiwife and I arrived in Thailand on the 12th. We stayed one night in Bangkok and we were each given a COVID test kit that we suppose to input the result from into Morchana. Supposedly, the test kit included a QR code for us to scan with our phone and that would load Morchana onto our phones. I am not familiar with this process and was wondering if someone could explain it in more detail. I am in Nongbualamphu if that matters. Does someone actually verify whether we did this or not?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the process of using the Morchana app for reporting COVID test results after arriving in Thailand. They received test kits upon arrival and are uncertain about how to register and input their results into the app. Comments suggest that users will receive a notification to test between days six and seven, and advise sending the test result photo to the hotel.

Finally someone who spells thaiwife correctly. I keep telling people it's one word.

as a member of the grammar police how can you justify that it’s one word? If you are married to a Thai female then you have a Thai wife. If you were married to a German female you would have a German wife.

It's more of a folk law than anything, but it's become more common over the years for people to opt for the one-word option. This is only true in the instance of a Thaiwife, not a German wife or any other wife for that matter.

@Rupert ********
I’ve never heard of that folk law. What if you’re female, do you have a Thaihusband?

@Stuart ********
No. Deffinitely never heard 'Thaihusband' before, it's a one-way street.

@Rupert ********
as stated. Never heard of the one word iteration of Thai wife.

Send a picture of result to your hotel .

According to the website they will send you message on day 6 or 7 via the morchana app. Then you are supposed to do test and send the result.

Have you downloaded app and registered yet ?

maybe it will come to that. I downloaded Morchana from the App Store and after answering its questions, it left with 4 items at the bottom of the screen: data, scan QR code,settings, and notifici ations
