Negative pathogen/PCR Test
I’m in sukhumvit and I didn’t know I need a negative pathogen or PCR test to go back to America. I’m leaving in 24hr, and am staying at the clover Asoke hotel. Does anyone know a good place nearby to get a negative covid test?

But maybe as a helpful hint, if you just need the test for entry into USA (and not any transit or airline requirements), you should be able to use an Antigen Test, which is typically cheaper and has faster results then PCR.
Maybe that's what you meant by "Pathogen", but thought I would point it out .
Good luck.

I don't know of anyplace close to you as I typically use the video proctored BinaxNow test. I would think the hotel may have a place they could suggest.

Not sure if either of the above does pathogen test. Further away on Soi 5 is Fresh Code, which you could try.

I have done a few PCR tests with Dr. Donna. Very good service. Prompt results as promised. A bit of a walk to any BTS though. I think Prompong is the closest BTS.

We walked out on to the Soi and got a ride to the BTS station.That's why I would have tried WellMed if they were open.

Ah I was confused, I thought he was talking about a PCR test. I used MedConsult before, very good service!
