So much for going home to Bangkok. Just been to the Thai embassy in London to see whats going on with the repatriation flights to Thailand. After you jump through the hoops and register, buy insurance, pay for the quarantine hotel, supply all the requirements and log in to the repatriation web site turns out it a lottery. I logged on to get my seat within 15 seconds of the site opening and still never got a seat. Was told at the embassy that you get picked, so looks like it doesn't matter what you do.

The embassy people were very nice but said try again next month.

So here I am.

Interesting account from a French guy on Smart Visa S (Startup) regarding the repatriation process. This visa is usually exempt from needing a work permit but it seems with the help of the BOI he acquired one while in France which allowed him to return.

What procedures are done in the case of rejected entry in Thai airports? Is the rejected person sent to airport detention center?
