rooster59 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Air travellers to five provinces face quarantine on arrival By THE NATION Travellers landing at Phitsanulok, Buri Ram, Krabi, Trang, and Nakhon Phanom airports will be quarantined, the Department of Airports director-general, Tawee Gasisam-ang, said. On Friday (May 1), four airlines -- Nok Air, Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air and VietJet Air -- resumed flights to 14 provincial airports across Thailand – Lampang, Mae Sot, Phitsanulok, Buri Ram, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Roi Et, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, Trang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani and Krabi. Tawee said that those who take a flight to Phitsanulok must be quarantined for 14 days at home with their families if they are local people, or in hotels that are part of the "Save Phisanulok" programme for 14 days. However, those who arrive at Phitsanulok airport for taking another flight need not to be quarantined. Those who take a flight to Buriram must be quarantined as well, he added. Krabi airport, meanwhile, informed that visitors must have a medical certificate from their point of embarkation that they are free from Covid-19. Those who do not have certificate will be sent to a local quarantine centre, the director-general said. Trang, meanwhile, is ready to receive locals. But those on a work visit must have documents related to their work and a medical certificate from their place of origin. In addition, they will be in quarantine in Trang for 14 days. Nakhon Phanom will allow only passengers to enter the passenger terminal, not their relatives and friends. The province also has barred migrant workers from entering without the governor’s permission.

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 This coming period is going to very interesting, not just here but in other countries. My joint Australia is at similar stage to Thailand in relaxing restrictions such as internal travel etc. Imo the transition won't go well unless there are uniform rules. Lot of governors trying to be seen as taking care of their folk and in some cases making news. Au no different. Every state has different rules for social gathering numbers etc etc It's a joke. If domestic travel change is going to be so mucked up (look at Phuket bridge closure) then international openings at borders and airports will be hopeless. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a super emergency !! Good point, most people fly because it reduces the journey time by 70 / 80%, but if flying (only flying) means 14 days quarantine, especially in a designated quarantine hotel which the passengers must pay for, then there's no point in flying. In this scenario I'd readily take the alternative of 9/10 hours on a bus Bkk to CM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) "When will tourism return to normal?" Given these restrictions on domestic travel my guess is that even domestic tourism is going to be ground into the dust as a long as local governments impose quarantines. Likewise, who is going to want to fly to provinces which force you into quarantine? I wouldn't doubt if airline simply stop flights into those provinces. Who is going to want to travel to those locations by air domestically? Edited May 3, 2020 by connda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly your not Thai or even look outside your box. Assume you have access to dosh. There are 40k people trying to get off Phuket alone and get home. Most likely many have no job, no money. They probably getting back home to have roof over head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not specifically, but first answer on Google : https://www.tripsavvy.com/air-quality-during-your-flight-54164 Quote Most aircraft have robust filter systems. Except for some smaller or much older aircraft, airplanes are equipped with True High-Efficiency Particle Filters (True HEPA) or High-Efficiency Particle Filters (HEPA). These filtration systems then filter and recirculate the air from the cabin and mix it with fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
