BANGKOK, Oct 12 (TNA) – The first batch of 41 Thai workers has returned home from Israel while the Thai government is actively working to expedite the safe return of Thai nationals and is considering a third-country solution to achieve this goal.

I hope it was pre-organized for them to on landing be given instant free access to telephones, Line, What's App or whatever so they could very quickly call their loveones here. 

Were they met with a 300 baht tourist tax?

What happened to the A340 and 4 C130s that were due to sweep in from the skies to rescue their people?

 

Edit - I see from another thread that they don't actually have enough pilots for the A340!
