True but if they book everything it means less room for Bangkokians who have taken over every public holiday. Whilst I've no issue with any of them personally, the traffic is horrendous. Bottom line is, Pattaya isn't set up logistically to deal with crowds. Every major road is being dug up and deserted.

 

Give me a chain of full buses over 1000s of additional cars double-parking wherever they see fit.

This has got to be the most stupidest post in the history of TV.     I hope it gets tagged as such.  Fair to Ukraine too?  How?  Then again you are a Thai. 

He is a Brit, i believe. Naturalized Thai.

 

But 100% Russian apologist.

Most of these charters operate 1X weekly. And they (Pegas/Ikar, Azur) have smaller aircraft.

 

Aeroflot has 3X/4X weekly flights SVO-HKT/BKK. They operate B777, for which they have limited access to parts and service.

 

Planes are packed, in one direction at least.

 

 

It would be interesting to know how many are flying back over a longer period.

I think the sanctions are having an effect over time but they won't work on their own.
