Prisoners Put to Work in Thai Factories Desperate for Labor

'An honest days pay for an honest weeks work' springs to mind. -
Yep, I've discounted ever getting a refund but getting in touch with the office dealing with re-ticketing/vouchers is proving impossible right now. Emails get an automated response and nothing else and phone calls get the 'please press1' etc, you wait....and wait....and wait....and then get disconnected. I'll never pay for another Thai Airways flight.

Army's recruitment drive flops: Only 4,805 apply out of 10K target

I read somewhere that over 100,000 of Thailand's Armed Forces are conscripts. Small wonder those in charge of conscription want it to continue as the number of volunteers would indicate they'd have a real problem maintaining the numbers should it be stopped. -
Been using the friends small agency for well over a decade now with no problems and very good deals. The money made it to Thai, confirmed with Thai and tickets issued but then cancelled.

Then the offer of a voucher was withdrawn when Thai realised we'd booked through an agency. That is further complicated as the booking was through a sub agent but the ticket

This is what I found in my email this morning. Seems my application for repayment has been objected to and further details have been requested despite filling in the entire online form. I suspect because the travel agency is no longer trading they are not accepting my transfer of funds proof, bank statement detailing the transfer to the agency. As for the debt calculation this was calculated using figures on their own upload pages so finding that hard to understand. Feel as though I can kiss the cancelled family flights money goodbye from now on.

...and the Thai vaccine farce continues. If they'd had the foresight to be part of Covax then they would already be administering hundreds of thousands of shots.
