TLDR : Answer Summary

If you are arriving in Thailand on April 30th, you will still need to follow the old COVID-19 rules, including undergoing testing upon arrival. New travel regulations will take effect for arrivals starting May 2nd. Therefore, as an arriving traveler on April 30th, you are required to get tested and wait for your results before being released.

Correct. You'll still need to get tested and then be released once your results are received.
