rooster59 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Covid-19: Bangkok airport has its quietest day since it opened nearly 14 years ago Image: Thai Rath Arrivals on Thursday at Suvarnabhumi airport - Bangkok's main hub - were the lowest since it opened in 2006. Deputy director Kittipong Kittikhajorn said that just 193 international flights touched down all day. There were 9,964 passengers, the least ever. If you compared it to the same day in 2019 arrivals were 83% down. Some flights had just two passengers, he told Thai Rath. Those who have come to Thailand were asked to download the AOT application and fill in the T8 form about their travel and health, details of which were reported elsewhere in a story about blogger Richard Barrow. Infectious disease spokesman Patikhom Wiwattananon said that not one of the 9,964 passengers had symptoms of coronavirus though one passenger was running a fever and was quarantined for observation. Suvarnabhumi opened in September 2006, notes Thaivisa.

yokat Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Everytime I see this waiting area I get angry, that's the only airport I've been to where you have to wait your family/friends/etc from a spot where they can't easily see you. But of course this "limousine" service is in the prime spot for being seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their collective IQ of 34 cant work this one out. People outside the heads of tat, have more brain power and could see their lies through the veil of smoke around Bkk and Chiang Mai for the last ten years. Sum num na doo doos.

And Thai bargirls, we need entertainment, eh? Pure white caucacians are actually an endangered species, so wherever we appear, we should have some sort of UN protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 No worries. If the number of arrivals is slightly higher the next day, TAT will announce that "tourists have started to return to Thailand" and that they expect the numbers to exceed last year's totals ! Remember it wasn't long ago that the Tourism Minister decided that the hot weather during Songkran would wipe out the virus and then the number of tourist arrivals would double what they normally would be, so that by the end of the year they expect to have at least as many arrivals as last year ! Somewhere, Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf (former Iraqi Minister of Information) and the ghost of Goebbels must be be snickering when they see the news these days.
