For the last night I have booked a hotel near the airport. Bit too far to walk though, at least with a luggage... You will be able to take a taxi tomorrow no need for an airport hotel. You can also use grab to get a taxi as well. Stop worrying about tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay home, stay clean, stay strong. Peace You don’t know what I’m thinking do you? I never said. Driving by car two hours over to a rural area in the middle of the jungle in those mountains down there isn’t exactly the same as taking a stroll through a crowded mall. And by the way I am actually considering canceling that trip even but my question wasn’t about what I’m thinking. In fact those mountains in the Khaoi Yai rural areas is probably safer than it is up here. But if they start closing roads bad idea to be traveling anywhere at all. Not even 30 minutes away.

Popular Post wasabi Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Perhaps stricter measures is the only way to 'flatten the curve'. On my morning walk today I came across these coworkers posing for a group photo to celebrate that they were following Covid-19 procedures and assuring safety. the signs they are holding talk about hand washing, distancing, and face masks. I first saw them then saw them standing in essentially the same spot 15 minutes later on my way back. The person taking the photo told them to gather closer a few times so they could all fit in the shot! Granted it was a small group but still... TiT.

Stay home, stay clean, stay strong. Peace Blocking provinces in general wouldn't make much sense. If you live in the middle of a province you could travel a fair way to visit someone who lived at the edge of the province. They in turn could travel even farther across to the other side of the province but couldn't travel at all in the opposite direction. The not leaving home rule makes more sense. The big questions are will it be enforced? Will it be enforced equally? Will exceptions be made that aren't really necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Khun Paul Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 I am getting angry at some of the comments, are all Foreigners complete numpties or do they not have the ability to read. We have all seen what is happening across the Globe , hoping like hell that it will not happen here, but in truth those that can THINK , knew all along it was going to happen , many thought and planned but an awful lot did nothing and now ask idiotic and pointless questions , about Immigration for example, when any man would have checked weeks ago if he thought he would have a problem, it is down to us not THEM to make sure we abide by the rules .Are all those complaining so bloody dense they cannot think or act.

Just checked on Kayak and three seem to be flights from today until 7th April. It would be best to check the actual airlines and you might need to check on transfer rules at connecting airports. They might not be allowed and it's possible there would be long stopovers with no option of leaving the airport to stay in a hotel. Direct flights would avoid this. Looking at direct flights between now and 31st there are 3 Thai airways ranging from £925 to £3033 in economy and BA £3813 in basic economy. Some off these seem to be more expensive than premium economy. Thai Airways ous £2248 in business class and the cheapest business seat on EVA Air is £1932. Amazing but then airfares have never made sense. The trouble is things are changing all the time so you'd probably need to either check the airline websites or phone them if you can get through.

Probably Wissanu going through the lawbooks to see if Article 44 can be reinstated! Probably because they have a list of potential actions (or just thoughts) but have not nailed down what will be applied on the 26th. Also note this list of restrictions is subject to change at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
