Is the RT-PCR test the same as a regular PCR test for travel to Thailand?
We have a flight to Thailand this Saturday . We need to get tested 72 hours before the flight . We are being told that we need to get the rt- pcr test . My question is this , is the Rt-pcr test the same thing as a regular Pcr test ?

The RT-PCR is the most accurate. I took 4 of them in the last 6 weeks per my travel from U.S. to Thailand and back.
