Just reading KLM travel advice, it states COVID negative test is valid for up to 96 Hours.

If flight delay is proven to be beyond doubt, no fault of the passenger.

TLDR : Answer Summary

KLM states that COVID negative tests are valid for up to 96 hours, but it's important to note that the airline does not set the entry rules for the destination country. If a flight delay occurs, and it is proven to be beyond the passenger's control, the implications on their ability to enter the country due to the test's expiration remain unclear.

I don't think KLM makes the rules to the country you are traveling to.

Only repeating what they state in all their COVID travel advice.

They would not let you board, seeing they are responsible for repatriating you in any unacceptable circumstance.

They go on to say that a rapid test, would also be acceptable.

Hoping I am not delayed, but if I am I will take the advice of KLM.

They must have the situation previously going to Thailand.

Why would they let you check in, knowing Thai immigration would refuse you entry ?

if you arrive into Thailand...you will need to do ASQ quarantine 7 or 10 days.

Why risk it?

The rules to enter Thailand are clear.
