Golf Cart & Buggy use at Suvarnhabumi cancelled during Coronavirus screening measure

[thaiclan]

Just a heads up that the golfcart/buggy service is currently suspended at Suvarnabhumi whilst the Coronoavirus measures are in place.
I arrived the other day having booked Elite and whilst the Lady in Gold was there as usual to greet me, alas her gold golf cart was nowhere to be seen and replaced with a porter to carry my luggage instead   Not sure whether I could have gotten a piggy back ride from him...:-)

 

There are multiple temperature cameras set up along the way to immigration and so all buggies and golf carts are suspended at this time.

They are hoping that the walk would kill off anyone entering with the virus...........

Never used the service but good to know. Thanks for posting.

In any well run airport they would have substituted wheelchairs for the buggies or golf carts to make sure those that need assistance getting through the airport were properly helped.

 

It isn't clear if you needed assistance to get through the airport but if so they certainly didn't serve you very well.  I  hope the trip wasn't too arduous.

My trip in the Golden Cart to have my Elite visa attached to my passport was one of the most traumatic events of my life. You see, as an Australian, about the worst thing you can be, short of being a “pedo guy”, is to be ”up yourself”, and sitting regally in a cart driven by an attractive lady, honking at humble travellers on foot who don’t get out of the way in time, is about as far up yourself as you can go. Still having the occasional flashback PTSD episode. Besides, I enjoy a brisk, long walk after being squashed into an aircraft seat for 9 hours.

Which service was this you'd booked with? 

 

I have a Golf cart and Porter booked & paid with www.limousine.in.th and will be in Swampy in less than 2 weeks

I have a fasttrack booking including golfcart with them in a bit more then 3 weeks.
Just did write an email to them and asked about the possible suspension of the service as well as the reimbursement of those 1,200 BHT paid extra.

Just got an answer from the limo service.
Golfcarts are banned indeed......

Here's the mail from limousine.in.th :
 

Dear Peterbilt,

For now we have refund the golf cart back to the credit cart from
1/2/2020 - 29/2/2020. For your booking we will let you know again that
