Any views on this. I'm trying to get back home to Bangkok. I'm not having any success with repatriation flights. BA fly from UK to Dubai and Emirates fly from Dubai to Bangkok. Is that a viable route at this time?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by expats trying to return to Bangkok amidst travel restrictions due to COVID-19. Various suggestions and insights are shared regarding flights available, specifically mentioning Emirates and Qatar. Key points include the necessity of obtaining a Certificate of Entry (COE) from the Thai embassy, eligibility criteria for returning to Thailand, and the importance of having the correct documentation and insurance. Participants emphasize the need for thorough preparation, including booking ASQ hotels and understanding the 72-hour COVID test requirement before departure.

Emirates are flying from London to Bangkok via Dubai this month im on one. Call Emirates to find out seat.
You don’t have a seat on the repatriation flight, you don’t have a COE or anything.

I have a flight booked with Qatar from Edingburgh to Doha the Doha to Bangkok..Ive had to change it twice now its rescheduled for October 8th.. but looks like I may have to change again due to the thai government not opening up and the hoops of fire you have to jump through..
Im on a retirement ..I had a work permit 22 years paid tax and social fund ..still 49% percent shareholder my wife is 51% have to dependants and legally married ..have full covid insurance cover to there requirements but still cannot get intouch with anyone at the Thai embassy. I departed on a return ticket on tge 21st July and now cannot get back..what a sham..😡well peeved off
what "sham" ?? it is why Thailand has not had a local infection in 100 days. While infected going through quarantine have been discovered, just 8 more the other day.
u shouldnt have left Thailand, or hurried ur ass back as the red flags of a closure on the horizon were apparent,

If London embassy issues COE for these flights it should be ok pending queries on the 72 hour covid test requirements. Awaiting clarity from the embassy.
a private message. No worries 😂 you need to find message requests in Facebook messanger to see that PM. If you can't find it add me as a friend then we can discuss straight on messanger. I will help you sort the COE 👍 what date are you planning going?

Why not Me? Embassy again tomorrow morning I guess I have all my paperwork, nothing I ever do on Internet works for me.
fingers crossed local embassies issue COEs for the commercial flights entering from Dubai then the lottery is over and you can align ASQ's easier with daily flights. Hopes have been shattered in the past though 🤪
