The first group of 15 Thais will leave Israel on a commercial fight for Thailand this Wednesday and are scheduled to arrive in Bangkok the following day, Deputy Foreign Minister Jakkapong Sangmanee told the Thai media today (Monday) at the Rapid Response Center. 

 

The returnees will be met at Suvarnabhumi airport and given medical check-ups upon arrival by officials from the Health, Labour, Social Development and Human Security ministries.

 

Jakkapong said that the Israeli government has not allowed military plane or special flight to enter their air space.

So the Royal Thai Air Force posing with their jets and commandos was all for show. No military jets were ever going to fly near Israel in the current period. And in the end, the Thais are coming back on commercial flights, probably paid for out of their own pockets.

There was talk about c-130's, not 'jets'. Easier to do with commercial passenger planes anyway. And no, they are not paying for it from their own pocket, as far as I'm aware.

Yes christ, another dinosaur photo opportunity no doubt, if actually they required a medical they'd let you know. Did the C-130s actually take off yesterday or are important people still taking selfies with it?
