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.

Must be wonderful traveling nowadays. Arrive at the airport 17 minutes before the flight and be in your seat 5 minutes before take off 😊

locals do not fly through Swampy. I our area you cannot get a bread over a weekend with all the local tourists around. All of them drive in or come with busses.

The point is that there are few flights going in and out Thailand because all the restrictions...
