Just heard from Thai airways that due to the backlog of passengers trying to get out of the country that planes are leaving Australia with cargo only. What this means is that passenger planes are leaving empty except for the cargo loads that fit in underneath then picking up a full load of passengers in bangkok and heading back. They will not be taking any passengers from Australia to Bangkok until next Monday at the earliest.

 

 

Not sure you got good advice from them.

 

My wife spoke to one of the Thai workers who is actually at the airport and they said they are returning flights INTO bangkok from all destinations and they are trying to take as many passengers INBOUND as they can, not just the cargo. She said it doesnt make sense to have planes arrive without passengers as they are getting off before the other passengers get back on for departure out of BKK. She further stated they are NOT restricting people getting to Thailand. And they are filling planes to capacity getting them out of BKK. But in order to get planes planes OUT of BKK they gotta have planes. Therefore, no restrictions on Passengers coming to BKK.

Wow, a country in turmoil. Hopefully things will get better. With all the turmoil, brave ones might get a cheap ticket there and the currency convertion is not bad either. $1 = 35.65 baht
