Off topic (but concerns travel): is the ATK test accepted for flights leaving Thailand for the US or does it have to be the PCR?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The ATK (Antigen Test Kit) is accepted for flights leaving Thailand for the US, as long as it is conducted within one day of your flight. A lab certificate with the results is necessary. It's recommended to verify the specific requirements of your airline and any transit countries, as they may have different regulations.

Always double check what your airline requires, some airlines and transit countries may require different than your destination.

Antigen is accepted. Just make sure it's within 1 day of your flight (so the day before or day of) and you have a lab certificate with the results

Thank you. If there is indeed a testing facility at the airport, timing should not be a factor. Or do you recommend getting a test before going to the airport?

@Michael ******

it's really up to you. If you decide to do at the airport just make sure you go at least 1 hour earlier than normal
