oh no there were people that we met my husband included that had pain for hours after getting it done because they went so far up your nose they made you hold your head flat back and they were doing it to adults as well as children these were being done through the Bangkok Hospital across from Big C in Phuket. I refused and put a bandage over my nose and made them test in my mouth...
That is correct it's 8,000 BAHT each person for covid tests one at the airport two at your hotel and they must be paid in full to get your COE... and Please be aware they go past your brain to the back of your head not very comfortable at all.
you can only get to Phuket by flying directly into Phuket and to leave Phuket you may have a flight with another airline but like we did it was canceled then you have to get a private vehicle if you want to go to anywhere else from Phuket to Bangkok it's
Just checked out today and other than no flights to Bangkok(had to hire private van) it was wonderful.. We stayed at the Marriott @ Merlin Beach and loved it..
