The Thai government will not charter any more flights to bring Thais back from Israel after the last chartered evacuation flight today, unless there are enough passengers to fill an aircraft, Government spokesman Chai Wacharonke said on Wednesday.

 

He said that Thais in Israel can, however, still make their own arrangements to fly back to Thailand and apply for a refund for the cost of the air ticket from the Labour Ministry.

 

The Thai embassy in Tel Aviv has told Thai nationals that they must report to a hotel in the Israeli capital today, if they wish to be on the last evacuation flight arranged by the Thai government.

Such compassion.
