Better to do a self ART @home on your departure day or night before..

Whether will u hit the jackpot, is purely lucky or unlucky....
I was covided so chance of getting another covid is lowered. Thus I travel.

Test kit is easily available, just test anytime u feel like and especially u start to feel not right. 3 basic symptoms, cough, throat itchy, fever.

Covid timeline for me,
Day 1 n 2 itchy throat, ART negative.
Day 3, slight fever, ART positive.
Day 4, high fever and painful throat.
Day 5, painful throat.
Day 6, back to norm but started coughing.

From above, I suffered 2 days, mainly due to throat. It was the worst sore throat I had in my entire life.

i don't know where i get the impression that the cut off time is 8pm for some places to get same day result.

Anyway seem like stay 5 stars do have its perks in terms of guest service.

They delay the timing coz they want you to subscribe to express service
Extra 2000-6000baht depending

After arrival. The hotel took the money but returned me. This is because they said too late to request after they checked.

I request on site after the swab at the hospital in Pattaya and was quoted 6k

Express 2-4hrs
Non express 8 -12 hrs

Note also delays due to ‘retest’
In a group but some cleared and others not cleared
Ask them and they said due to restest
Eventually those results came 4-5 hrs later

If you have not firmed up your flight and hotel bookings, I suggest you give yourself 2 weeks.
