youbuyshirt Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) I thought the border was closed and international flights are not permitted to arrive in Thailand at present. But this site: https://www.bangkokairportonline.com/flight-status-arrivals-departures/ shows arrivals from many different countries, including China, Vietnam, Korea, Germany, Japan, Russia, France, UK, Austria and others. What is going on? I'm very confused. Edited June 21, 2020 by youbuyshirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLS Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Inbound flights are cargo only. The crew is quarantined in an airport hotel till they go to work on the outbound flight that carries passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 As CLS said, but there are also outgoing and transiting passenger flights out of BKK. Most inbound flights come in empty and fly out with passengers. No incoming flights except for those repatriation flights and those cargo flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee4Life Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The cargo coming in passengers going out idea makes sense. We booked tickets out on Korean Air in a couple of weeks and I have been nervously watching for a cancellation e-mail, but when I checked on FlightAware it showed that the flight has been on a reliable schedule.

You thought incorrectly, Thai Nationals, work permit holders and family members can apply through the local Thai embassy for permits to enter Thailand then a 14 day quarantine. International flights have never been banned, only international passengers entering. Edited June 22, 2020 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds OK (although maybe not Singapore unless you're sure you can get in there), but the application form says you should allow 10 days for processing, so make sure you take that into account.

Not at the moment as there are no flights inbound into Thailand unless your on a repatriation flight which is arranged through the Thai embassy, even Thai nationals that don't require visas for Thailand are required to registered via the Thai embassy for flights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application process would scupper his overnight transit plan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can not. Unless you have all the required paperwork the Thai Government is wanting as well as what is listed on the CAAT website. Hoop jumping, plus a 14 day quarantine upon returning to Thailand if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 "I thought the border was closed and international flights are not permitted to arrive in Thailand at present." This is a a result of misinformation posted on this forum. The main airports have never been closed, the civil aviation(CAAT) have restricted what flights can land. The Emergency decree has restricted who can enter the Kingdom and the Department for Disease Control has imposed a quarantine on the majority of arrivals.
