According to United Airlines Travel Requirements:

Returning to The United States, a negative PCR-Anti/AG test is required, 24 hours of travel.
Answer summary
Travelers returning to the United States with United Airlines need to provide a negative PCR or Antigen test that was taken within one day prior to their flight. Clarifications from community members emphasize that 'one day' refers to a calendar day rather than a strict 24-hour window, allowing for testing the day before a flight, and suggest that antigen tests are a more affordable and quicker option for obtaining required paperwork.

It’s 1 day. I have my test at 9:30 am the previous day boarded the plane for 12:30 pm flight next day. No problems . Also back in the USA no covid stuff is checked at all (at least for citizens) . I mean , no surprise given the case numbers

One (1) day not 24 hours.

Look at cdc and State Department websites.

This is to your advantage.

Also do the antigen test . It’s cheaper 600 baht and you get paperwork in 30 minutes.

Read the Travel Ready part of the UAL website or United app carefully once again and the CDC website and you will understand
