ORIGINAL POSTER
Air asia cancelled my flight (Yangon-bkk) on 26-mar.

If i want to book a new one, the next available is 26 next month.

I cannot be here that lone, do anybody know if the boarder by bus still works?

Why did you wait until now to get back to BKK? Couldn’t you have traveled a week ago

If you know of a way to get back to last week do let me know, I have some stock I could do with selling.

I had got a new passport my old one was expiring. It was suppose to take 2 weeks. It took 5 so received it Thursday afternoon.

If you try any airline for Sunday it says no flights available. Borders will be officially closed Saturday at midnight. They will be announcing on tv 9pm tomorrow night My flight to Vientiane was cancelled. I talked to call center she said last day for international flights is tomorrow. I will go to Vientiane tomorrow and back. Now I have seen Laos has cancelled all visas. So maybe my flight tomorrow will be cancelled also

No flights and no borders... no choice but to overstay? Shit. I have 5 days remaining

Sunday is when Thailand closes. Myanmar had already closed on their side a few days ago.

I believe they closed their borders today by land and air.

Honestly I don't know. If the border will work, then do it before Sunday night. Borders are supposedly being closed on Sunday night.
