TLDR : Answer Summary

As of now, there is uncertainty regarding whether only a Rapid Test will be required at the airport for travelers coming to Thailand from May 2022. A proposal suggests changes could be implemented, but accurate information will likely be confirmed closer to the end of April. Currently, travelers still need to undergo a PCR test upon arrival, while the pre-departure requirement may be dropped.

You still need to do the PCR test upon arrival. It's only the predeparture one which has been dropped

The government doesn't make any money for the pre departure but they do for arrival and day 5. They won't give this up for a while until they have milked the system dry.

day 5 is now just an atk test done by the person themselves and uploaded to Morchana, ain't no money to be made there though.

The day one, I agree though. That'll be here a while

He is not wrong. The way they have tested humans like animals for the last 2 years, it's definitely a rabid/rabbies test
