Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has developed a plan to evacuate about 250 Thai nationals in Ukraine, in case an emergency situation develops.

 

MFA Spokesperson Tanee Sangrat said that the evacuation plan calls for the arrangement of a chartered flight, to fly the Thais out of Ukraine or to Lviv, a city close to the Polish border or into Warsaw, the capital of Poland, then another chartered flight to repatriate those Thais.

 

He said that both the Royal Thai Air Force and Thai Airways International are on the standby to carry out the evacuation plan.

They sure do, but they might want to hurry to pick up those Thais.

 

If Russia continue with their madness there might not be an open airspace close to Ukraine within a couple of days.

Putin has probably just set in motion WW3

 

"Putin also says "justice and truth" are on the Russian side, warning that Moscow's response will be "instant" if anyone tries to take on Russia."

Be cheaper just to pay for there flights out instead of Chartering a Thai Airways flight.

 

Probably better food and service also.

There to late there not going to be flying in there now Ukraine is under attack. Unless the plan is to use the Royal Thai Air Force to escort the Thai Airways plane.

The window has now been firmly closed

Last week would have been great.

Ground borders are still open right? Any Thai wanting out can leave and catch a flight home from a neighboring country.

Not WW3, but a new Cold War. 

 

Except that the USSR played by the rules, mostly, and most of the bloodshed was off-screen.
