The airports are open. But there will not be any passengers allowed to disembark on the flights that do arrive unless the are repatriation flights. People can still leave the country on flights that do arrive.

The problem is having enough passengers on the outbound flight to warrant an airline to send an empty plane to Thailand. I'm in the situation where my family and I are moving back to the states and have had to rebook 5 times due to the airline cancelling. We have been attributing it all to the fact that most people have already left and there aren't enough passengers to warrant an empty plane to come here to pick people up. fingers crossed June 3rd isn't cancelled!!!

Other obvious reason is when the plane can't land in BKK!...

or when passengers can't disembark... because of actual ban.

Im saying that people can leave as long as an airline has a plane coming in with no passengers which some do. A lot are being cancelled because there aren't enough people leaving Thailand for the airline to justify sending an empty plane to Thailand.

I'm asking this for the second time now just because I'm a little worried (asked a month ago already once), but is there any limitation to Thai citizens (read: Thai wife + kids) to fly out of Thailand? Arranging flight tickets for my family tomorrow, and @ubonjoe you already told me a month ago that no such limitation exists back then. Any new information on this subject?

 

 

Thailand isn't stopping anyone from leaving, the issue relies on an airline providing said transportation. I booked with Qatar back in late Feb. before the lockdown and everything. Original fly out date was May 31st, well now we are set for June 3rd after FIVE rebookings. I only see the airlines reason for cancelling a flight would be if there weren't enough passengers booked making it not worth their time to fly here with no one on board coming in and only 30 people going out. 16 days until our latest flight, fingers crossed we can go home!!! 

Hello all, 

       I had a former principal at my school inform me that Americans leaving Thailand are able to reclaim taxes paid on personal income tax. I was wondering if someone would be able to confirm this or knew someone I could reach out to that might be able to clarify whether this is accurate information. The principal has been here for 15 years so he is pretty knowledgeable but I am just trying to find out before I make the trek to the Tax office. Thanks in advance!!
