They have - not sure about the central fast track (I think it is open though), but the first batch of immigration on the C/B/A side of the airport definitely has the fast track to the right-hand side open (I went through last week). If it has been a while since you last entered, prepare yourself for a much more modern looking immigration experience, as they revamped the whole arrival side of things :)
fast track on the right hand side? in the past fast track was on the left side leading to the fast track counters on the far left side of the hall last time I arrived in February 2022...yes quite a while...had to do my 4. time 90 days reporting in 26 years Thailand ;) |

I did not see that one (admittedly I did not look either), they just saw my J class boarding pass and directed me to the right where there is a small fast track section separated from the rest, which was there before covid too. Not that it was busy but I still got through before the rest of the flight’s J class pax. |

2 + 2 = ?
If he/she arrived last night and posted at just before 9:00am ICT today there's a good chance they spent a night in Bangkok before travelling on to Sakon Nakhon? |

I appreciate all the info on this thread. Appears entry is fairly simple and getting back to normal. I do have a question about the 24 hour covid test to get back to the USA . ( I know it is one of the more ignorant policies left , but short of going to Mexico and crossing the border it is still required )
I have 1225 am flight. I presume my test has to be done the calander day before which is in effect the same day ? I will be staying at the Intercontinental in Bangkok. Is there a good testing site that can get one done in a few hours ? Thanks |

Yes lots of "reports" about having to mention covid, however, the application now asks you to check a box that your insurance covers covid. I doubt very much that anyone actually reads this given how fast some are approved. In my case I submitted a certificate page that mentioned the word covid nowhere, nor did it state a dollar amount (in text it said unlimited). My insurancd does cover covid and is much more than 10k coverage but the "magic words" were not on the page. Approved!
IMO things changed once they added the check box that you certify that it covers covid Approved in about 12 hours. |

Well except that there are 2 testing sites at the airport that cost much less (550 or 250) and are open 24 hours - so go to check in an hour or so early (although the test take less time) One at door 1 and one at door 7/8 ground floor.
https://thaiest.com/blog/covid-test-...mi-airport-bkk What happens if you test positive? Will they alert the authorities and send you to hospital? Any difference when testing positive at either location ( such as better hospital assignment ) ? I know things change but would appreciate any current data. Thanks. |

I mentioned airport testing site as well, but some want to get tested before they go to the airport...

Sorry I did not specify ATK or PCR. I will get an ATK. Both the in town and airport options look good. I will probably spend the extra for the in town and get it over with in the A.M. before I go to the airport late in the evening. But I would like to know the protocol if you test positive? I have several co-workers / friends that are contemplating a trip to Thailand. They want me to check it out the lay of the land before they book. I know things may change in Thailand, but it appears the COVID test to return to the USA may last a while. Thanks
