What us the situation with traveling by Phuket by air from Khonkaen .

Last time I checked, you had to fly directly into Phuket from outside the country, you couldn’t fly in via BKK, even if you didn’t get off the plane. Our Qatar flight was just cancelled, and now ALL flights are going through BKK!! We already have a pre-paid ALQ hotel with no refund in Phuket.... So does anyone know if the policy has changed and we can now go through BKK? TIA!!
