What are the new Day 7 test requirements for Thailand's Test and Go program?
Just to let worried people know about the new day 7 test needed it’s only an antigen test you do yourself and you only need to email results to the hotel if it’s positive if it’s negative you throw in the Bin and do nothing
Answer summary
Recent changes to Thailand's Test and Go program require travelers to take a PCR test on Day 7 instead of an antigen test, which was previously self-administered. If the result is positive, it must be emailed to the hotel; if negative, the test can be discarded. Effective from December 21, 2021, these new rules apply to travelers arriving on or after that date, while those arriving before will continue to follow the old rules. Travelers voiced concerns about where to report results and the implications of the changes, particularly regarding remote locations.

Morchana app didn’t work for me either. I did the rapid test the Test& Go hotel gave me on the 6th day after checking out, and just sent a photo of the negative result to the hotel.

So it is useless.

The test and go rules were always a self administered rapid antigen test and you are supposed to report the results in the MorChana app.
The new rules will be a PCR instead of the antigen test for any new arrival to Thailand, regardless of when your Thai pass went it. These rules won't come into affect though until the royal gazette is published.

nowhere on the morchana app to upload , you just had to email the results to the hotel you arrived at and they uploaded it to somewhere

Anyone that's been approved on the test and go prior from today now have to have a PCR test on day 7 not a antigen test which what it was before .

@Del *********
They just cannot implement it immediately. The proposal will go to The Royal Gazette once it gets approved it will get implemented. People travelling after 26th will have to do test on 7th Day. (RT PCR).
