Best is to buy the pcr test from Amazon and they will send the results on time most of the time. It's one of the least expensive options. It will work for the 72 hour requirement.

Such a scam when in India they will come to your home and take a swab for a PCR test for 15 bucks. Or you go to the lab for ten bucks. These places in the US and especially Thailand are making so much money off these tests.

I used them. It was $165 but you get the results on the same day. It was important because I traveled via Singapore airlines and they wanted a 48 hours requirement and not the 72 hours from Thailand.

Quantgene
