Certificate for COVID19-free symptom

• Due to the current situation of COVID-19 in Thailand and a high proportion of mild symptoms and asymptomatic cases, we do not issue the certificate stating that you are free of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, you will always need to get tested either with the real time RT-PCR for Fit-to-Fly certificate or rapid antigen test for other purposes. Please make an appointment for the test via this link and select only 1. PULSExpress at BTS Phromphong, 2. PULSE Clinic - Silom, 3. PULSE Clinic - Sukhumvit 13, 4. PULSE Clinic - Patong Beach, Phuket, 5. PULSE Clinic - Chonburi, Pattaya
