Popular Post webfact Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 Taking a flight in Thailand? Here’s what to expect [VIDEO] video screenshot If you haven’t stepped foot in an airport in Thailand since before the COVID-19 pandemic, here is what you can expect when taking a domestic flight. TAT recently shared a video showing the strict health and safety measures in place at airports across the country, including at Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang International Airport. The video shows measures put in place as part of the new normal in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-07-28 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope they also have an equally understandable version in Mandarin, after all that might be more relevant in the near future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PMZ Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 I just travelled to Phuket and back last weekend. Video is quite accurate, except for the fact that I didn't see anyone cleaning anything while I was at either airport. You are also required, at both airports, as you enter airside, to register on an App, requiring passport details, address, place at destination etc. BKK did not take it at all seriously, but HKT did and you could not enter airside without showing the registration success. Flight was 95% full, but everyone used a mask and upon arrival, they de-plane in rows of 3 or 5 at a time, and all other passengers are required to remain seated. Surprisingly, everyone was very compliant, nice to see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I flew BKK-HDY with VietJet last Friday morning. Other than airport very quiet at 05:30am, check-in was a breeze. No hassle at all. There was some sort of QR code check-in before going to departures, I opened the registration app and proceeded and was waved through. No body checked to see if I had completed registration (maybe they just wanted the dirty foreigner past ASAP ???? ). I never did complete the registration and wasn't asked for it anywhere. I'll see how it is on return this Friday. Flight was 80% full and everyone wore a mask. No food or beverage service (only 1hr 10 min flight anyway). On arrival they told all to stay seated until asked to disembark 2-4 rows at a time. Really, the travel was little different to before and no problem at all. Very calm and easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to the checkpoint, there are QR Codes on display. Aim your camera at it and a box will appear, accept this and you will get the online form. Easy. The one in Phuket seems to only be in Thai Language, but one of the staff helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superal Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Mentioned shops and restaurants opened but not the bars ? Does anyone know what is happening on long haul flights regarding food and drink , is it service as normal ? I would be interested to know if anyone has flown Finnair to the UK as they are very competitively priced flights . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjeff Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I flew DMK-NST-DMK this past week. Temperatures were scanned at both airports when entering the terminal, and masks were worn pretty much universally in the airports and on board, but there was basically no social distancing to speak of, as passengers mostly ignored the marks on the floor. Although QR codes were posted, no one was pushed to use either Thai Chana or the AOT app. (On arrival at NST, passengers were theoretically supposed to sign in with Thai Chana when entering the baggage claim area, and then sign out again less than 10 meters further on, but very few people did that.) Deplaning at NST was not restricted in any way, but at DMK we were told to stay seated until our group of rows was called, and people did as instructed. Since we were at a bus gate, though, this meant there was some modicum of distancing as we got off the plane, but we then boarded a bus where we stood no more than a foot away from one another, so it's not clear whether any purpose was really served. I did notice that bathrooms at DMK were being cleaned much more frequently than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was removed from flying regulations by CAAT Right, not that CAAT seems to be aware of that - here's a quote from July 23: "Overall, the impact of the Covid-19 has caused all airlines to lose about 70 per cent of passengers because of the reduced travel demand. Airlines must also comply with social distancing measures by leaving one seat empty between passengers, said CAAT director-general Chula Sukmanop."
