Of course, none of those are in Thailand, but the location in Narita could work. Has anyone had experience getting a COVID test during transit? How was it?

As far as I know, the testing facility in Narita is only offered land side, so if you can't enter Japan (Japanese citizen or resident foreigner) you can't use the testing facility.

They advertise 2 hours, in practical terms you should allow at least 3 hours for the results to come back.
