TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion indicates that as of April 1st, 2022, a pre-flight COVID-19 test is no longer required for entry into Thailand, making the question about the acceptability of an RT-PCR saliva test largely irrelevant after this date. Additionally, comments clarify that saliva tests are not classified as PCR tests.

you need a Thailand pass to come here, so you should contact the local embassy if the link isn't working.
