Anyone coming over soon on the test and go,just a little extra info for you. I arrived yesterday. The exit of Immigration at the airport is all rather chaotic. Lots of booths with hotel names on placards. You have to locate the right booth then give your details. They will then allocate where you can sit to await transit to your hotel. I arrived at the hotel early evening and was expecting a covid test right away. That was not the case, it was 8am this morning. I am doing the test and go in pattaya and last time I was here for full 14 day quarantine in the summer they had hospital staff at the hotel and you did the test at the hotel and they sent the samples to the hospital for processing. Different this time. They take you to the hospital in a songtaew where you do the test at an outside clinic near the hospital. Then driven back to the hotel to await the result. They say I will get the result late afternoon.
