emptypockets Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I was at Swampy on Tuesday afternoon. 80% of flights showing as cancelled. It's pretty well over for those wanting to come or go from Thailand I'm afraid. I'd did meet a couple of young guys who were going to their accommodation to do 14 days. I don't think they understood that was the start of 'it' for them. It's going to get tighter for everyone, as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTXR Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 One can only wonder what TI will do about those people similarly stranded outside Thailand when their O- or OA-based extensions of permission to stay expire... Will they need to start all over again with a new O or OA visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe check e.g Melbourne>Jakarta with KLM >BKK if you haven't already.. Being married is not on the list. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think the market has already dropped 15% - 20%. It may have if the stock market rout is anything to go by. I wouldn't say it's people trying to take advantage, rather people wanting a discount for taking on risk - risk the prices are down 30%. With this volatility, it's hard to price anything.

I think technically nobody is, if you increase the hops enough. I've only read of two countries with total ban of incoming flights. Which begs the question why are they offering extensions for people who are stuck, when practically nobody is 'stuck here' in the strict definition.

More confirmation he’s not stuck here. The guy’s Jetstar flight to Melbourne was cancelled, so (if he has it) his travel insurance should cover any additional costs for another flight.

I don't think a standard travel insurance covers that. The insurance company will direct you to the airline which "if" they are serious will try to find another flight,if that's not possible will give you a 1 year voucher. There's also the "Force Majeure" c**p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is, Thailand are NOT allowing any foreigners in to the country unless they have PR, a work permit or are on a diplomatic passport, even with these, the conditions apply for the covid insurance and health certificate, this has been the case for a few days, so not sure why you think he is not stuck, as he doesn't qualify under the latest rules.

I think you are referring to Post #1? If so, I agree. However, you are quoting what I said in regard to Post # 8, the latest on Poster #8 is: He is an Australian citizen (or permanent resident) wanting to return TO AUSTRALIA. He has nothing to do with Thailand’s latest rules for people wanting to come INTO THAILAND. As an Australian citizen (or permanent resident) he is allowed to return to Australia. There are non-direct flights to Melbourne from BKK. (Per latest posts above, after tomorrow night he must now self-isolate for 14 days at the first AU city to which he arrives) Poster #8 is NOT stuck in Thailand...yet ????
