TLDR : Answer Summary
To enter Thailand from the UK, you need to provide a negative RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to your flight. If you are transiting through Singapore, the test must be taken within 48 hours.

You have to have a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours of your flight. (48 if transiting via Singapore).

It has to be the more expensive RT-PCR.

hello. Coming from USA do you know if regular PCR test is acceptable or has to be the expensive RT-PCR? Thanks.

what test did you end up getting before your trip to Thailand? Can I get the test at a place like CVS or Walgreens?

I got the RT-pcr at a local lab. Results within 12 hours. The airline didn’t seem to care but they did check for it at Bangkok airport. The PCR test you’ll receive here is also the RT-PCR.

Knew i had seen it in discussion before NHS tests are not acceptable.
