What kind of COVID-19 test is required for travel to Thailand?

Ryan ****

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)

If you are able to get a credit card when back in Australia, check out this one:

I've had one for years and never had an issue using it in Thailand for purchases. You get a good exchange rate direct from Mastercard and no extra fees from the bank.

Am I being overcharged for car hire in Thailand compared to two years ago?

Ryan ****

Car hire companies all around the world offloaded a lot of cars early on in COVID. Now either demand for hire cars returning, there is fewer around and the are charging a lot more for them.

What should I do if my Thai fiancé is asking for multiple and varying amounts for sin sod before marriage?

Ryan ****

@Doug *******

lol if she's not an educated virgin, she's dreaming if she thinks you are paying 500,000THB to the family.

You shouldn't be paying a cent. If they insist on any on display it should be going back to you minus any wedding costs and a token amount of gold to the mother.

What documents are required for arrival at Bangkok airport post-COVID?

Ryan ****

@Scott ******

would have been the boarding pass for the incoming flight.

As an Australian I personally entered on the 30 day visa exemption, so no visa was required in my case.

What is the average RT PCR test result time from a SHA+ hotel in Bangkok?

Ryan ****

@Tony ********

Novotel BKK airport have medical staff on site to do the testing. I had my test taken about an hour after getting off the plane.

It was then only 5.5hrs to get the result.

Novotel quote 6 to 10 hrs turnaround for the result. He will be fine.
