Does anybody have experience with leaving Thailand via Suvarnabhumi when previously fully recovered from Covid?

Flying to Germany with Lufthansa, I know that Immigration in Germany allows entry from Thailand for recovered people with a positive PCR test older than 28 days and younger than 6 months.

Is there any special test requirement for departure at Suvarnabhumi or will it be sufficient if I only show check-in staff my positive April test and hospital release certificate? Cannot find information about that at the airport website.

Trying to avoid another test because of the cost and hassle and more importantly because I read that in some rare cases tests can detect virus particles that are not contagious even weeks/months after recovery. Being forced to go into another hospital quarantine for no reason would be really awful.

Thanks!

This is from Lufthansa Website requirements entering Germany from Non High Risk Country.

I would call the embassy, Thailand is locked down at the moment, they may consider it high risk.

Unfortunately I have spent so much time waiting in the Lufthansa telephone hotline queue without getting someone on the line. I think they cut personnel due to Covid.

Not sure about Lufthansa, but many airlines require a negative PCR to board.
