Even if I went , would be difficult to travel onwards since National Express have suspended all their coach operations. Might even have to swim across the solent by the time I got there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 And now updated by no flights being allowed to land in Thailand for the next few days. No doubt that will be extended, as banning for just a few days is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian carman Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Can Eva still land as no one will be entering the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian carman Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Why doesn’t someone from BA or Thai Airways show a bit of business sense . They could fly empty uk to Thailand but full up on return.All they have to do is put the prices up to cover the empty flight to say £500 one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
