ORIGINAL POSTER

So where in Thailand can I get a proper COVID-19 antiGEN test done? It seems all places either offer expensive RT-PCR tests (at around 4,000 baht), or they only offer antiBODY tests, which are totally unsuitable for a) detecting a current infection b) travel back to Europe. Ideally looking for this on Samui, or maybe at / around Suvarnabhumi Airport. Thank you for leads.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking locations in Thailand, particularly in Samui or near Suvarnabhumi Airport, to obtain a COVID-19 antigen test that is suitable for travel back to Europe, as they find most places only provide costly RT-PCR tests or unsuitable antibody tests. A comment suggests Sukhumvit Hospital offers antigen tests for about 2000 baht, but one must specify the request clearly with documentation.

confused. Where in the article you linked to does it state " 4 out of 13 who tested positive, weren’t."

Big difference between four false positives out of 13 and 4 out of 9310.

I read that. But in context it states: "The PPHO noted that from Apr 22-25 a total of 9,310 arrivals had been tested at the three arrival testing centres set up ‒ at Phuket airport and at the Phuket Check Point at Tha Chatchai, and now at the Phuket Gateway, where all arrivals on buses and vans coming onto the island are checked."
