Hi there, just a question since most of the travel restrictions have been lifted. We are Unvaccinated and will do a Antigen test since this seems still to be the rule, okay we can deal with that. 

We do however have kids. Are they excempt from that? Or from what age? We would never have them tested so it would be great from what age they are excempt. 

Appreciate any advise.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Travel restrictions for unvaccinated children flying to Thailand are that if they are under 17 years old and traveling with unvaccinated parents, they will also require an Antigen test. The testing requirement holds as long as the parents are not vaccinated. Additionally, while the testing process has been simplified recently, there may be circumstances outside travel (such as health issues) that necessitate testing.

Perhaps stay at home and hide behind the curtains? Seems your best strategy

Might be difficult to "never get them tested". Apart from travel rules, if they were ill a hospital may test.

And of course should test, to limit spread.

I believe 17 and under don't need a test if they are traveling with vaccinated parents, but if the parents are not vaccinated, then everyone needs the test.

Since they changed the rules to allow antigen, it's a lot easier. But remember that the results must be issued from a lab or clinic.

Oh, that would be a reason not to go to Thailand yet, very unfortunate. But of course we will never be vaccinated and we would never test the kids. Well.... probably going somewhere else.

sounds like you should go to the most remote place that you can find.

Have you bumped your head? Why would you say something stupid like this? Other than you I never stopped traveling during this pandemic. You get in everywhere. Are you just some little rat that posts things that have nothing to do with the asked question? Just because you might find other sheep who might agree with you and then you can feel like a strong member of a group?

you revealed to the world that you will never be vaccinated. Unlike the other billion+ of us who have been you are choosing to be a science denier and make beating the pandemic harder for all of us. Please do the planet a favor and do not interact with civilized people.
