On your older posts you mention UK and therefore I presume you were travelling to the UK. You could have got a Antigen for a cheap price and much quicker. In Bangkok they even have at the airport in 15 mins but I presume you were travelling from Phuket, so not sure down there. I did Antigen at a hospital and got certificate within a couple of hours as I had to wait for the Doc to arrive to sign it off, otherwise would have been quicker.

I heard Ethiad require PCR according to their policy, so make sure to check with the airline. Once at the UK there seems to be no checks, so its mainly for check-in

@Wayne ******
as long as your airline don't have specific requirements, you only need the Antigen test which is quick and cheaper for going to the UK.

I got the Antigen before travelling on Qatar. I wouldn't be waiting until I got to the airport, but I did see that there is a 15 min results with certificate advertised at Swampy. I don't know anyone that has used it though

You mean, you missed the day it should have been or you have not yet got to the 2nd PCR? I can see a lot of tourists not doing it as why risk the holiday. I saw one lady tested positive, no symptoms and now locked up for 10 days of her holiday.

What would happen if you didn't do it? I can't imagine they will chase around every tourist that doesn't do it.

I was with Qatar and they just follow arriving countries requirements at this time if only transit. So according to the UK regulations in the link above, it's still Antigen (ATK) with certification to show at check in. Arriving to UK there are no checks.

I think I saw someone mention Ethiad need PCR though. Check with the airline if they have any rules. I was on Qatar and was fine with Antigen.

I did the Antigen test which I think that's lateral flow. I did mine at hospital called Samitivej Srinakarin. Took 2 hrs and cost I think 500 for the test and the Dr fee to sign it off for the certificate 800 bht.

Also saw that can be done at airport level 1 exit 3 in 15 mins with certificate but I can't confirm if that's up and running personally.

ATK is still fine for travel TO the UK.
