TLDR : Answer Summary
As of July 2020, commercial flights to Thailand are expected to resume in December according to the CAAT. Currently, only repatriation flights for inbound travelers are operational. Individuals stuck outside Thailand, such as expats in Brazil, need to obtain a Certificate of Entry (CoE) through their local Thai embassy to facilitate their return. There are additional costs for quarantine upon arrival as well.

im not sure about what i heard that when you arrived here, you will need to pay 60,000k baht for quarantine. i just heard about this
Andrew ********
You need to pay in advance to get on the list of passengers, 60K I would pay but it's all full up for August. Just have to try again next month I guess.

If you have all the 'documents' then the embassy that is issuing your Certificate of Entry will book you on a re-pat flight.

here in Brazil they are saying that re-pat is only for Thai people or foreign with Thai family .. tHai embassy here is not helping us at all !

Are you trying to enter as a tourist?

If you don’t meet the criteria then you won’t get a COE.

For example, married to a Thai or father of a Thai national.

@Alex ************
Then you dont have all the documents required to return, ie the CoE?

Thailand, Im in Brazil right now ..

@Alex ************
Ok now you have made it clear.

Thailand airport is open for international flights, and certain categories of people can enter with a COE.

You need to contact the Thai embassy in Brazil and they will inform you of the criteria you should meet to gain a COE.

Then they will book you on a repatriation flight from Brazil if they are doing this.

If not you will be struggling to get a flight into Thailand.

How about travel by cargo vessel? It will take weeks but it may be relaxing.
Reiner *********
@Daniel ******
Not into
Daniel *******
@Reiner ********
I understand. But it may be less traumatic than one miserable long- haul flight.
Michael ********
@Daniel ******
six months stuck on vessel because port authorities refuse to let you off or a miserable long haul flight. Uhmmm which is less traumatic 5555
Daniel *******
@Michael *******
yes agreed
Michael ********
@Daniel ******
i have friends still stuck on ships that were supposed to get off in Febuary.
Daniel *******
@Michael *******
do they pay the extra costs for boarding?
Michael ********
@Daniel ******
But in the case someone was stuck onboard who is a paying passenger they are not liable for extra costs.
Daniel *******
@Michael *******
thanks for info
Michael ********
@Daniel ******
its actually an interesting way to travel and I have worked on the MOL ships which run regularly from Thailand and they have great cabins and bar area. Something to look at when the world settles. Not for me though as i work on them.
Daniel *******
@Michael *******
yes, I have thought about taking such a trip.
