TLDR : Answer Summary

An expat in the Phuket/Karon area is seeking recommendations for reliable centres to perform PCR and ATK tests due to urgent travel requirements. They entered Thailand via the Test and Go program and need a PCR test for return to Singapore, mentioning difficulties in securing appointments through their resort. Community responses highlight potential requirements to check only for Antigen tests, list government-accredited clinics, and suggest a walk-in testing centre location.

thank you! A bit of a distance from where we are, will try to find something closer to us.. In the worst case we'll check it out. Saw from your previous posts that you booked your 6th day pcr. Where did you book the test and were you asked for the result at phuket Airport? were there any issues raised if the test was not done at one of the centres recognised by the govt? Thank you!

I don't know much about Singapore entry requirements, but if they only need antigen test, then do not worry yourselves with trying to get PCR, and just concentrate on the antigen.

I am not 100% sure but check MOH I think you only need ART by clinic to return to SG? I rea that it is possible in BKK I would assume you will fly there first for VTL?

this is the booking for 2nd PCR but I think ART should be easier. It was quite mad house when I took mine you can see my comments under my post in this group. Result was not made available as fast as well but before noon next day.

all the clinics I seen in Patong seem quite busy so not sure what is easiest. Consider go Bangkok Hospital? It will probably cost more but call them and check availability.
