There are a few, though not many, that will take PayPal as payment. I've used PayPal with online orders from InvadeIT, Wine Connection and BonCafe, and I was able to pay my Scoot flights booking yesterday via PayPal.
With Lazada, because I generally pay COD, a PayPal option probably wouldn't be of much use.

These despised visa runners kept these cities above the water.Oh please! Visa runners are of no significance to Hat Yai.

The report is garbage, if they mean anything, they mean closing the International side, closing the domestic side of the airport just doesn't make any sense. Either AOT explained poorly or the reporter got it wrong.

There's 28 flights a day from Hat Yai to Bangkok....really!
That's the figure from Flight Radar

Certainly there are 23 direct flights daily; Air Asia 7, Thai Lion 6, Nok Air and Thai Smile 5 each.

The report probably means to say closing the International side, not the whole airport.

WFT!
This is a nonsense. You can't shut Hat Yai airport, there are 197 flights a week from Hat Yai to Bangkok, and the same number coming back. It's a busy route and most of those passengers are Thai, not everything is about tourists.
Merging with Phuket makes zero sense, who wants to take a 6hr drive to Phuket to catch a flight? Quicker, and safer to go 3.5hr to Penang Airport, or 4hr to Krabi Airport.

De Van Cuisine (Phone: 0934452244) (7.007237, 100.475424)
Last week when we went the restaurant was all shuttered up, so were thinking the worst. So phoned ahead yesterday and found they were open again, they'd just taken a week's holiday.
Restaurant was busy, with a surprising number of farang faces amongst the Thai regulars. Food was excellent as per usual, good to see that they've now acquired a sous-vide machine, so the pork tenderloin was buttery and ultra-tender. Chef must have popped in on The Billin Bistro and taken note.
Still excellent service, despite being full, and great value for money; a three course meal for four, including alcohol, for Bht2,000.

But it's an 'affirmation' only you can affirm that what you've written is true, so you are required to be present.
An agent can't substitute for you.

Thanks for reporting back, good to hear it was an enjoyable trip. How was Betong, it's a very long time since I was there last, though I doubt it has changed much in twenty-five years.

I can't imagine many NordVPN users in Thailand would be using a server in Finland. I certainly don't.
I'm not concerned.

AOT to consider closing Hat Yai, Chiang Rai airports
in Thailand News
Posted
Bangkok Airways have managed to succeed where others have failed. But if Hat Yai lost its international status, I would just take a taxi to Penang, plenty of good connections from there.
It's either shoddy reporting, quite possible given the source, or just AOT sabre rattling for more funds.
