I did not fly to Britain weeks ago ,i was afraid i would not get back home to Thailand ,what they complaining about ,better here than there,????

I wod say far better in the UK than Thailand but what do I know I only lived in Thailand for 10 years and been back in the UK a year and loving it. However if i was only coming to the UK or Thailand for a holiday/business stay home. Just remember Thailand kept its borders and flights from China open so expect it to be a very bumpy ride in Thailand so stay safe.

Absolutely correct... Anyone who has traveled for pure leisure reasons within the past couple weeks needs therapy...

There have been enough warning signs so they only have themselves to blame !!

Grab a cheap bungalow folks and settle in for the ride ???? 

 

 

But, we were told it was a hoax.

Nah, It's entirely normal for most of the world, live hand to mouth, holidays with minimum money and no backup.

Did it myself in my 20s and 30s, as an old guy you've forgotten what it's like to be young.

I've got total sympathy for them, nobody thought the world was going to end last Friday.

When was the last time nearly all flights everywhere were cancelled .......... never.

 

What always amazes me is the fairly good looking western guys bringing absolute chubby mingers with them to Thailand.

Have white men lost all respect for themselves?

Totally agree, TVF loons have obviously never read a situation wrong

As for the chubby, thats all thats available in the UK now, especially in places like Chorley, she is a stunner! Bit like going to the supermarket and only finding a dented, half opened tin of mushy peas

Theyre not exactly unique. There are probably thousands of people in the same position right now. It's not news.

It’s news in somewhere like Chorley, believe me.

Not even that much

Can fly Qatar to Manchester  370 quid one way or 335 to London

That's on the 1st april, only a week away!

They most likely could do that but it would be lacking 'drama'

status today: airlines still flying out of Bangkok - Lufthansa, Eurowings, Swiss, Thai Airways, Air France, KLM, Finnair, Qatar Airways, EVA Air und Norwegian.

 

Thai will suspend all flights to Europe from 1st of April.

 

Good luck to all - just changed my flight on QR from 2nd. of April to be on 28th of March to be sure.

Not for long. Swiss are suspending nearly all of their long haul routes - including BKK. Last flight back to Zurich leaves Swampy on 29th March

Poor things. They look so concerned. Should we be expecting some Go Fund Me to pay for their expenses and terrible time they are going thru?

If the airline and holiday insurance company allowed them to travel out, and didn't arrange a flight back, there shouldn't be any question about the funding.

Might be more the fault of an unprecedented and invisible threat that was able to bring the world to its knees (to its crown).

If I would have followed all of those 'travel advisories' that I have seen through the years, I would not even have seen NYC.

Hold on folks, the ride is going to be a little bit bumpy!

Better stranded in Thailand than Myanmar or Cambodia 

Well i was meant to go to the UK in May, and was about to book my ticket in January when the Wuhan lockdown began. A quick look at the available virus statistics told me i wouldn't be flying anywhere by April, so i never booked.

 

By early February i had stocked up on sanitiser and some food, and told my son to do so in the UK (which he did, and was grateful that he followed my advice).

 

My Thai sister-in-law was coming on holiday in February, i advised her coming was not an issue, but getting back would be by March. Her partner returned on the 29th February, but she wanted to stay another 2 weeks. Her return flight was cancelled 2 days before she was meant to leave. She is still here.

 

To be fair, if you had already booked your tickets most people would take the risk rather than cancel and lose the money, i can understand that.

 

So far the pandemic has developed pretty much as predicted. Just surprised at the countries doing lockdowns, I didn't think the western countries would have the balls to do that - their complacency and failure to plan for the pandemic, meant they had planned to fail (look at USA). Air travel should have been severely curtailed in February - if it had, the virus wouldn't have spread so quickly, and health authorities could have geared up for it. Then the lockdowns might have been avoided (Korea and Singapore have managed to contain it).

 

Leave it too late and the choice is kill a good proportion of your elderly population or destroy your economy. This decade ahead is going to be grim, probably worst recession in a century.
