I don't think so. There are many cheap flights from budget airlines. Seems like Bangkok Airways,Thai Viet Jet Air, and Thai Smile.I don't know how it would work out though with the transfer at Suvanaphumi. Maybe you need to find one airline to do the whole flight on.

You also need to get a certificate of entry. Needing flight, quarantine hotel and PCR test, $100,000 US health insurance that covers covid, etc. The list is long and insane. Is this what you are trying to figure out how to do? There is a list of quarantine hotels online. Getting on those repatriation flights approved by the Thai government is very difficult and there appears to be a long wait list.

Unless you are a special person with a currently valid work permit or non-immigrant O, you won't be allowed in. TAT has just said that visitors/tourists will not be allowed in until sometime on 2021. What is your current visa status in Thailand? Then again I guess the visa you are waiting for would do that for you, yes? So you are waiting for a COE? It may take a while to get on one of those limited flights and seats into Thailand.

Ubon Joe in Thai Visa says it is exactly the same as the first one with just a different end date.

Of course we still need to see what the cabinet actually does. It does seem unlikely that they would choose another course after having having the immigration Bureau chief and Lt. Gen announce this to the Bangkok Post.

@Anthony *******

Yes, to apply for short extension between August 1 and Sept 26, to stay after Sept. 26. From article "However, if they do not obtain extensions and are still in the country after Sept 26, they would face legal action and be blacklisted." So overstay under this new proposed grace period if denied extension would occur after Sept. 26. Ubon Joe in ThaivisaNews said he believes the blacklist will be applied as normally, so at 90 days when leaving the country or if caught when on overstay in country.

People also do have options of changing short term entries like visa exempt and tourist visas (both of which are classed as tourist visas really) to longer term visas (Marriage, edu and retirement, work permit) in country, mostly by using agents.

We will know all the details by tomorrow or the end of this week.

If the new grace period goes into effect and you are covered by it wait until late September to use it so you get more time. The cabinet meeting is Tuesday so no rush.

It should be you have until Sept 26 to sort out some sort of long stay visa or short extension to stay in Thailand after Sept. 26, but all people currently under amnesty will still be good to stay in Thailand until September 26. Anyone who will eventually leave for home, can leave by September 26 and will not have to contact immigration for anything. The Bangkok Post article was very clear about the proposal. Overstay only starts after Sept 26. So essentially more time to try and get your visa situation in Thailand in order or to sort out leaving, but it's really an extension of the amnesty until Sept. 26. 20/foreigners-can-apply-for-visa-extension-after-july-31
