Is a saliva RT-PCR test accepted for entry into Thailand from the Philippines?
I am going to the Philippines for a short trip and organizing my RT-PCR for the return to Thailand. The Philippines can currently only propose mostly saliva RT-PCT tests, do you know if this is OK to enter Thailand or does it have to be the typical nose swab? Thank you!
