Hi we are on holiday in khao lak and we have not done a day five test as we have struggled. Is this something that is strictly enforced and what will happen if we arrive at the airport on the 25th with no day 5 test ? thanks in advance
Answer summary
Travelers in Thailand are required to take a Day 5 COVID-19 test, and while fines of up to 20,000 THB can theoretically be imposed for failing to do so, many users report not facing any fines at the airport. Some have suggested alternatives, such as emailing a picture of the test to their hotel or using the Mor Chana app, indicating that compliance is being loosely enforced. Overall, many expats have shared experiences of not being penalized for skipping the test.

You will have no problem at airport, nobody care, thousands of people skipped the Day 5 test.
I feel you. I took the test and there was nowhere to enter the information on the app. Was still in Bangkok at the hotel, they said 99% of people can’t do it either😳and to send them the results so I did. Now, my app was sending messages and I clicked on one to upload my test result. They wanted the lab #? My test box was thrown out so I emailed hotel. They said don’t worry about it, I sent them the copy of my negative test to keep on file (again). Deleted Morchana app.
I couldn't do it either in the App so just sent a pic to the hotel but got no reply but its in my sent items if asked on Day 5. I've just been back into the app again and in the notifications there is now a link to upload a photo so I've uploaded and it's worked so now I m 'low risk'.
Just keep checking the App I'd say as may mysteriously appear as mine has!!
