Was wondering if I'd like to travel from Bangkok to overseas and back to Bangkok, how many times of CoVid tests do I have endure? 

Those who've travelled in and out of Thailand , can you share some experience please?

I'd imagine the CoVid swabs as follows:

✅ 1 time when preparing paperwork and getting the relevant health certificate

✅ 1 time before departure

✅ 1 time during arrival at destination

✅ 1 time during start of 14 days Quarantine at destination

✅ 1 time half way through Quarantine 

✅ 1 time at end of Quarantine

....and everything gets repeated exactly the same when we wanna fly back to Bangkok..... 

that makes it a total of 6x2 = 12 😱 CoVid tests...

And they're all swab tests... thru the nose 😪 

Is my imagination too exaggerated? 😅

Answer summary

The number of COVID tests required when traveling from Bangkok overseas and back can vary considerably based on the destination country and current regulations. Generally, the traveler anticipates needing tests both before departure and upon arrival at the destination. Some travelers report needing one test before flying, one upon arrival, and additional tests during quarantine days, leading to a total of anywhere from four to twelve tests depending on the length of quarantine and the destination requirements. Real experiences shared by other travelers highlight that the exact number of tests and procedures can greatly depend on individual circumstances and travel destinations.

Traveling during these times is more expensive preparing for the trip, during the trip in and out of quarantine is more than the trip is worth. Just stay your butt at home.

can you explain how half a million dead Americans is a scam? Are they not dead? Or 89,000 uk deaths including nurses and doctors is a scam? Did they die on purpose to help the "scam" be believed? I guess you've been in the laboratory involved in the research and spotted its all fake, then you know who recruited all the sick and dead people to pretend to be victims of a virus? Lol.

owh please. All data is corrupted. Anyway i respect your choice, so u should respect others also. I still dont get it why ur vaccinated as it wont protect u against the new versions of covid and it helps to the symptoms. U can still kill people because u can transmit it. Also i wonder why u should live the life and i not. I will finish asq soon and enjoy life. And i am not vaccinated.

you need to read up elsewhere. Results are being collated now. 80% less hospitalisations, less transmission, less infections, minimal reinfection, high immunity. But you don't care one iota who dies so not sure anything you say is relevant.

if ur vaccinated u can still get covid and transmit it also u will have to do quarantine just like me now. Ur only vaccinated to the symptoms. Source: website WHO. For what are u vaccinated ? I will have the same travel rights as u. Only u have shit injected in ur body. I ll see how it turns out with u. Thnx for being a guinea pig. I will focus on eating healthy and resting when having a flu. Also ur not immortal, u can die from a shock when charging a tablet also. Or from a drunk driver. Or because God wants it

I don't need to work out. I don't live in a basement. I dont smoke. I eat good good. I'm living life now I'm vaccinated. If you think losing people doesn't matter because they were "old already" then that's pretty damning.

am not discussing about this. Believe what u want. Go hide in ur basement, I’ll go and enjoy the world✌🏻 I lost people yes but they were old already or unhealthy. Go prey for a vaccine while ur eating shit and not working out and smoking like hell. WHO 4 life 🤪😂

speak for yourself. Some of us are trying to live our lives instead of hiding from a flu 🙄

why are you hiding from flu? That's a bit strange. No one else is. . I guess you're confused about the difference between flu and a SARS covid virus.

It all depends on which country you are going to.

I just went to Singapore one covid test 72 hour before. Two more in quarantine.

Need test every two weeks for work, welcome to the new normal
