TLDR : Answer Summary

A user shares their relief after passing a lateral flow test done at their hotel reception on their fifth day in Thailand. Some comments suggest preparations for future visits, including having a negative ATK test ready to avoid quarantine if tested positive.

Nope. Hotel insisted (maybe their own rule, but seems pointless to rely on people). I did it in front of them. They then took my picture with the result. They have a 'wing' in the hotel for the poor sods who fail it.

Ricky Hill J residence tried to get me back for a PCR test, I arrived on the 2nd March. Told them not a chance as its not required. I sent the nurse a picture of my ATK test I did at home and they accepted it.
