Suvarnabhumi International Airport has introduced a QR code system in the baggage claim zone, which allows passengers to scan a QR code to find out which counter to meet with the staff of the hotel they have booked at to carry out the mandatory PCR Need to take tests upon arrival in Thailand.

Currently, all participants in the "Test & Go" program are obliged to carry out a PCR test after landing in Thailand and to wait for the result for one night in a pre-booked hotel. However, since more than 400 hotels offer this service locally, long queues have recently arisen in the search for the correct way and counters. By scanning the new QR code, those arriving will immediately receive information on where the counter of their booked quarantine hotel can be found. In addition, the number of counters has been increased from 8 to 17 and the accommodations have been assigned in alphabetical order.

The measure is intended to counteract the organizational chaos of the past few days and the resulting overcrowding in the arrival terminal, like the news portal the farang reported. Infographics on screens, the staff on board the landing aircraft and public relations staff on site provide information about the offer, among other things. However, the orientation QR code should not be confused with that of the Thailand Pass; The latter is the entry permit for the Southeast Asian country, which must be applied for no later than seven days before arrival.
