Were you treated any differently in the airport when you returned? I'm scheduled to fly to Japan in April.

Came back from Haneda (night flight), nothing special there... except the lounge serving only canned drinks and packaged sandwiches.

At Suvharnabumi, thermo-scan at the end of a moving walkway. Looks like a bit as a farce since we were 10 people going through at the same time !

They do it more thoroughly at Don Muang, one friend also coming back from Japan told me they were scanned one by one.

The hilarious part about all these flight bans is the basis for them being deployed. The British National Health Service is advising voluntary quarantine for anyone coming from Thailand and Laos even though both countries have far fewer patients with Covid-19. 

 

The main reason for this is because of hot weather which seems to lower the transmission rate of such viruses. But you can be sure that the UK will soon ban travel from these countries based on shoddy data.

 

Don't get me wrong - I am sure that there will be more cases of Covid-19 in Thailand and Laos than are reported. But I would also say that would be true in the UK too. If you work in the gig economy (several million in the UK do) and it takes 6 weeks to get benefits and you get a sniffle, a dry cough and a mild fever, do you think that you will stay at home and let your family starve (or have to eat from the "food bank"?
