The test and go rules were always a self administered rapid antigen test and you are supposed to report the results in the MorChana app.

The new rules will be a PCR instead of the antigen test for any new arrival to Thailand, regardless of when your Thai pass went it. These rules won't come into affect though until the royal gazette is published.

@Jan ******

about the only thing I'd beleive from the Aust Govt was the number of deaths of people *with* COVID (not necessarily from COVID). If they could have, they'd have reported higher numbers to justify their restrictions.

@Jan ******

never said I liked the Govt. But it's still considered a western country and has lower death rate.

@Karim **************

if in doubt try checking Wikipedia:

In modern usage, Western world refers to Europe and to areas whose populations largely originate from Europe, through the Age of Discovery's imperialism.

"The fact is that Thailand has managed to keep their severe illness and mortality rate way below all Western countries"

Well this is quite frankly wrong.

Last I checked Australia is a western country and never had anywhere near the level of deaths Thailand did.

I'm sure there's other countries that also did better.

@Cliff ********

the shit online travel agents don't care. A sale is a sale to them.

@Stuart ********

Just to clarify, it's only a 72 hour window AFTER the original boarding time.

Singapore Airlines just denied boarding me on a flight to Phuket 1 day ahead of the original flight.

Partner in Thailand rang consular services and they confirmed changes are only allowed same day or 72 hours after original flight.

This option will definitely be fine:

Real-time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

This option might be fine provided it says RT-PCR on the final lab report:

Rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

This option likely won't be accepted by Thailand:

Polymerase

Chain Reaction (PCR)

@Richard ****

I got in fine last month with just the lab report for a RT-PCR.

I never even thought to download the app and no one checked when I was there last month....
