TLDR : Answer Summary
The comments reflect on the unusual quietness of Suvarnabhumi Airport during what is typically a busy time, highlighting various reactions to the diminished activity due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Users joke about the empty atmosphere and compare it to zombie movies, while others discuss the state of domestic tourism and the ease of travel currently experienced. The conversation indicates a mix of concern and light-hearted commentary about the effects of the pandemic on airport operations and travel in Thailand.
