TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation clarifies that travelers to Thailand must have a PCR test taken 72 hours before departure. However, there is a noted exception for those traveling via Singapore, where the requirement might differ and could be set to a 48-hour timeframe instead.

 Sorry I don’t know the updated status of that route. I know Singapore requires 48 hours. I’ll let others who may have experience confirm.

 my agent who did my test and go pass said 72 hours and it says 72 hours pretty much everywhere. I did fly Mexico to Dubai and they requested 48 so yes all countries different but I haven't seen anywhere that says anything other than 72 hours into bangkok but want to be totally sure.
