ORIGINAL POSTER
Arrived in Bangkok today for test and go , one thing that went odd is that I did get the pink slip at the airport but when I got the test done at the drive through location at the hospital , the woman who took the test gave me the self ATK kit and how to upload it on day 7 , and said it’s just the test today and that one. Is she just mistaken ? Should I check with my hotel ? Just want to follow whatever is required by Thai law.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon arriving in Bangkok for the Test and Go program, you received a pink slip but were given an ATK (Antigen Test Kit) by the hospital staff instead of a PCR test. It's suggested that the staff might have made a mistake, and you should follow Thai regulations by ensuring you do the required PCR test as stipulated for your entry. Additionally, keep the ATK kit for use on the seventh day as instructed. It's also advisable to cross-check with your hotel regarding any requirements and keep your pink slip safe for future PCR tests.

Keep the pink slip so when you go for your 2nd PCR test, you get it for free

As already said ATK test kit is part of when you booked, follow the new requirements PCR test and keep ATK

She is probably just mistaken. I would go for PCR as required and keep ATK test handy. You dont want to get tracked down like the isreali tourist.

You probably already paid for kit as part of package
