Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Suvarnabhumi ready for normal operations from May 1 Suvarnabhumi Airport will be ready to open again on May 1 after a temporary closure due to the pandemic crisis. Sutheerawat Suwannawat, director of the airport, said that they would be able to support all flights as before but some adjustments would be required corresponding to preventive measures for Covid-19. Screening facilities for everyone who enters the airport is still necessary and personnel at Suvarnabhumi must wear face masks and increase the frequency of sanitisation.

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 In normal times it was a case of, "Welcome to Thailand, please leave all your money here." Now they'll have to change it to, "Welcome to Thailand, please leave all your money here and go into quarantine for two weeks before you return home." That should do wonders for tourism. 5 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it will help those of us who are expats trying to get back to Thailand, some hope of getting home sooner. Lots of us stranded outside. 28 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NE1 Posted April 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Will they have to quarantine everybody on entry ? If you can have the virus in your body without it showing for 6 days , then quarantine is a must for everybody. Or am I wrong ( again ) Edited April 26, 2020 by NE1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD to THB 18 AUD to THB 14 USD to THB 40 very soon I don't see it that way, Thailand has lost 15-20% of its GDP in tourism, and people are queueing up for food in Pattaya and Chiang Mai. Car yards are overflowing with repossessed vehicles that no-one has money to buy. A number of people for years have been forecasting the AUD is going down the toilet. Hasn't happened yet.

To be frank, I was just horrified to read this. Given what appears to be the natural talent which Thais have for cocking things up, to allow these people to essentially throw open the doors to all and sundry from foreign climes seems perverse at best, and lunatic at worst. Perhaps I'm just waxing cynical. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
