BANGKOK (NNT) - The government has announced measures to help people forced to cancel journeys on public transport from April 9-18 because of the new Covid-19 outbreak earlier this month that linked to entertainment venues in Bangkok’s Thong Lo area.

 

According to the Transport Ministry, bus and rail-service passengers can claim full refunds if they want to cancel trips to avoid travelling during the Songkran holiday period to help contain the outbreak. However, people are advised to cancel their journeys at least 24 hours before they are due to travel.

 

Meanwhile, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) said if tickets are bought through a combination of cash and state welfare card benefits, only the cash will be refunded.

 

For those who bought group guided tour tickets or chartered train tickets, they also can obtain full refunds if they notify officials at least one day before the departure date. However, if provinces being travelled to or from are declared strict and maximum control zones, people can cancel journeys at least one hour before departure time.

 

Those who make reservations online are advised to send refund claims along with e-tickets to the following email address: [email protected].

If only there was some kind of Vaccine which could prevent the spread of the virus.  I know if there was the government would allow it and would encourage private hospitals and all stakeholders to get involved and ensure everyone was vaccinated.  ????
