I am arranging for a friend who is currently staying in Pattaya to come back to the Netherlands. Fortunately, KLM was able to change its ticket to March 31. The employee also indicated on the phone that there is no access to the airport in Bangkok for people without Thai nationality, unless they can provide a health certificate. I can't find anything about this online at all, except that it is mandatory for travelers arriving at the airport via planes.
Reader question: Will the airport remain open now that the state of emergency is in effect…?

Reader question: Is there already an airport on Koh Phangan?
Is there already an airport on Koh Phangan? I think they were doing that at the time? But I don't hear about it anymore. If not, will there be another airport?

Do I need to show 20.000 baht at airport immigration?
I heard a year ago that when you enter Thailand through the airport, immigration sometimes asks if you can show 20.000 baht in cash. Is this still happening?
