CNX Airport-Closed

[sqwakvfr]

I guess the doors are locked as well?  I have trip from CNX to BKK soon.  I guess I will have to either walk, buy a scooter or hire a car.  I thought the Pandemic was going to over by now???

What is "soon"? You can check again in beginning of August. But don't be too optimistic.

 

This thread gives you some idea:

"Nice" video.

BTW: the subtitles say "closed for 14 days".

Seems they know more...

 

Pandemic over?

Sorry, but what country do you refer to?

Indeed. For now also inter-province bus traffic is shut down.

Don't know about rail.

Sorry, I did not mean to offend you.   I apologize for not being as aware and smart as your are, Khun BengQ.

Oh you poor thing. What rock have you been living under? This virus is running rings around the Covid Czar and his Sorcerer's Apprentice and we will all be in a virtual jail for many months. So get real!

Don't worry, there will always be some sarcastic people who read the news everyday. Not all of us read the news that often.

 

It's almost like a ghost town in every tourist spot.

I understand that Nok-Air operated a rare flight from Utapao (Rayong is currently a red-zone province) to CNX last night, I saw it take-off on flightradar24, and it arrived 18.40 at CNX.

 

Can anybody confirm, if one were to book their next flight on Wednesday 28th, what is required of travellers flying-in to Chiang Mai ?  I'd be hoping to just take a taxi home, and to self-isolate there, for 14-days  ...  basically what I'd intend to do anyway !

From Bkk.  Hire a taxi or rent a car.

In terms of getting to BKK from CNX during the domestic flight ban I have some bad news:  Nok Air has suspended domestic  flights at least until August 31.  I called Thai Smile and officially they are supposed to start flying on Aug 4 but unofficially the company representative said realistically they will not start flying until August 15(of course subject to change).  However I did notice VietJet has a single daily flight from CNX to BKK but they fare is close to 6000 Baht for a one way.  

 

I have not driven a vehicle in Thailand and checked with Hertz Thailand and they require at least a 3 day rental if I want to pickup at CNX and drop off at BKK.  

 

I have yet to find a private driver willing to take me to BKK from CNX?  Any referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Not used them myself but have heard good reports from Red Ride taking customers to Bangkok recently. Based locally, check their Facebook page

[sqwakvfr]

Greenwich Boy, thank you for the tip on Red Ride.  I messaged them and got a prompt reply.  7000 from CNX to BKK is a good price.  Red said they believe the domestic flight ban will be until Sep 2?  I tend to believe that based upon the Covid 19 numbers.  Once again your tip may have just saved my VAX trip back to the USA.  

[bkk6060]

Rentalcars.com has one day rentals from CNX to BKK for several different days this month.  Less then 1500 b numerous models available.

 

Red Ride for 7,000 sounds really good though.
