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

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

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.
