Three domestic flights from Bangkok to the north-eastern province of Ubon Ratchathani this morning (Wednesday) were forced to turn back, after the pilots were unable to land due to poor weather conditions caused by approaching tropical storm Noru.

 

Thai VietJet Air flight VZ226 left Suvarnabhumi at 7.45am today for Ubon Ratchathani, but the pilot was forced to return to Bangkok. The same plane made a second attempt at about 11am but still could not land.

 

Nok Air flight DD322 left Bangkok’s Don Mueang airport at 9.30am, also for Ubon Ratchathani. The pilot made three attempts to land, but he gave up and returned to Don Mueang.

I was correct in waiting to see how the weather turned out before booking my regular work trip. No point in taking additional and avoidable risks when you know a large storm is approaching.

Probably not a good time to fly, but had a friend return there via train on Tuesday to check on her property.
