Elizway Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I know I could ask the embassy/consulate. Tried, but they're not picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Try sending the Embassy an email. The Embassy, no doubt, has several numbers. While the consular section is the most appropriate for this kind of enquiry, calling another number and asking them to transfer you is another option. You need to be persistent, trying at different times of day. If there is still no joy, the MFA in Bangkok probably has people who know. It is likely that there is, at least, an occasional flight on which Thai nationals can be repatriated. However, without finding a way to contact the Embassy to be given clearance to take a repatriation flight, the existence of such flights will be of no use to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Watch the daily brief from the CCSA on You Tube. Reparation flights are announced on there. I have seen the USA mentioned. The point of contact is the Thai embassy or its consulates in the US, Edited May 20, 2020 by Moonlover 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 There was a flight (or flights more likely) back in April, which included ~ 120 Thai high school students, and four top-level PGA/LPGA golfers (incl: Ariya and Kiradech). Boon Rawd Brewery owner Santi Bhirombhakdi had offered to fly them (the golfers) back on a private jet The families of these students worked the PM hard for their return. I haven't heard of any other re-patriation flights (from the U.S. to Thailand) since. All had to pre-quarantine for 14 days, have a fit-to-fly cert and then quarantine for 14 days on arrival here, it was reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB1986 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I understand people want back to Thailand but if someone ask me... Right now people who are in Europe or USA why you dont enjoy this time when is warm weather until september or beggining of october in there?Anyway now is rainy season and mostly the weather is not so good plus musqito season is out already. As far as i am concerned i will spend summer in Europe try to make booking for around sept, oct when things calm down... Just my 5 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnit Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I register my trips with state.gov and then receive information about things/events taking place that affect Americans in Thailand. I am not in Thailand presently, so I've just been glancing at them and deleting. I didn't register my departure date, so that's why I am still receiving the notices every day, or so. I know they have been mentioning repatriation flights recently and if you were to register your trip with them I think you could get your info on the next bulletin. They also give phone numbers.

Why dont you try to stay months in a country like the U.S at the moment.This is simply thai people that want to go home to thailand.No joyride.

Jaxxper Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Our daughter that was on school exchange in the US was repatriated nearly two weeks ago. You need to contact the Thai embassy in Washington DC who are coordinating all the repatriations. They will provide a day / flight number for an airline, who you have to contact and confirm/pay for the ticket. You will need a signed “fit to fly” Certificate No more than 72 hours old at check in ( Form available from the Thai embassy). I would start by sending an e mail to the embassy. Once you are in the system it should happen. On return to Thailand the individual will be put in state quarantine for 14 days. Hope this helps.

I am aware of one repatriation from the US. The person obtained the fit-to-fly certificate and coordinated with the Thai consulate in the US. The consulate told her to book a specific flight from Seoul to Bangkok on a specific day. The US to Seoul leg could be booked on any flight on any airline and no coordination with the consulate was needed for that leg. The person in question landed at Suvarnabhumi about a week ago and although she normally lives with her family in Bangkok is now in quarantine in a hotel in Pattaya.

I just did a search for a one way, economy flight with EVA and there are no flights available from LHR until the end of June (all passenger flights suspended until 30 June). In July there are flights on a few days, but if the suspension is extended, those flights will likely be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 My 1st question to the OP is "are you a Thai citizen"? If not, no way you will be able to come to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
