By TTR WEEKLY BANGKOK, 5 November 2021: Thai Airways International and its subsidiary Thai Smile have resumed flights on 36 routes from their home base at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport. The airline says the increase in routes responds to the Thai government’s decision to reopen travel to fully vaccinated travellers from 63 countries and territories effective 1 November. During the first three days, 1 to 3 November, the Department of Health said 4,510 travellers entered the country with just six passengers testing positive for Covid-19. Most of the passengers were returning Thailand residents plus travellers from Singapore, Japan, Germany, London, Qatar and China, the Department of Health told AP news agency.

RafPinto Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 From bankrupt to magical recovery and all this when the country was "almost" completely closed. They probably make more money by NOT flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they either caught covid, or the covid in their body increased to a detectable level, some time between the test prior to leaving and the test when they arrived in Thailand.

freedomnow Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I wonder what tourist numbers will boil down to in reality for full year from now despite all the drumming up speeches by suits singing for their suppers.... 1/10th of pre-covid etc ?

Soikhaonoiken Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Those figures were produced quick, Thailands only been open for 4 days, they must be counting the Baht as it goes in the tills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumpie Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I hate to sound all optimistic here but there are reports coming out from the W.H.O. that the pandemic could be ending spring 2022. That's not to say that COVID won't still be around, it means that there is certainly light down there somewhere at the end of the tunnel. Apologies to all who expect nothing but doom and gloom from me. I know this is very unexpected... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
