ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone know if transit passengers flying through BKK but not entering the country are required to have the "medical certificate" and/or "embassy letter" that those entering are required to have? Asking for someone flying from Yangon and onwards to the U.S.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Transit passengers flying through Bangkok (BKK) generally do not need to present a medical certificate or embassy letter as they do not enter Thailand. However, this may depend on the airline, as some, like Thai Airways, require these documents for all passengers, including those in transit.

If the passenger is flying with Thai Airways, they require those documents for both inbound and transit passengers.

It's the airline at the port of embarkation who need to see this. If it's a through booking you don't go through immigration, so it MAY not be required. Check with the airline
