Is there any solution ? Air, road ?
Is there any solution ? Air, road ?
Answer summary
A friend in Chiang Rai wants to return home to Ho Chi Minh but faces travel restrictions. Land borders to Vietnam are currently closed, while air travel may be an option, pending flight availability. Contacting the Vietnamese embassy in Thailand is recommended for the latest updates on repatriation flights and travel regulations. It is noted that as of early May 2020, no travel is likely until at least July, so patience is advised.
