As Thai Airways continues to struggle to stay in business due to the worldwide panic over Covid-19, the airline has just announced they will be operating flights from Bangkok to several international destinations beginning in October.
These flights only offer one-way tickets on Thai Airways to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Frankfurt, London, Taipei and Seoul.
According to Thai Airways Executive VP, Commercial, Wiwat Piyawiroj, these flights will predominantly be for foreign tourists or expats wanting to be repatriated back to their home countries, or for those traveling for purposes of business or education.

Thai Airways will be flying to seven destinations from Bangkok in October.
These flights will not depart daily but only a handful of times in October and, in the case of Stockholm, only once in all of October.
In other words, if you thought Thai Airways flying to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Frankfurt, London, Taipei and Seoul meant you could start to book flights for a vacation in Thailand this month, think again.
Thailand’s borders are still closed to most foreign visitors and are likely to remain so well into 2021.
The cost for Thai Airways flights to Europe, Taipei and Seoul are currently the following, although Thai does stipulate it reserves the right to change them without prior notice.
That means they could very well increase.
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Copenhagen — 19,430 baht in economy (approx. $647) — 86,995 baht business class ($2,900)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Stockholm — 18,690 baht in economy (approx. $623) — 79,505 baht business class ($2,650)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Munich — 17,085 baht in economy (approx. $570) — 64,550 baht business class ($2,152)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Frankfurt — 16,215 baht in economy (approx. $541) — 79,495 baht business class ($2,650)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to London — 18,685 baht in economy (approx. $623) — 87,775 baht business class ($2,925)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Taipei — 7,985 baht in economy (approx. $266) — 17,570 baht business class ($586)
Cost of one-way Thai Airways flight to Seoul — 13,225 baht in economy (approx. $441) — 49,940 baht business class ($1,665)
Remember, these are one-way flights from Bangkok to one of these seven destinations.
Once you leave Thailand, unless you have a residency permit or are a Thai citizen, it is highly unlikely you will be able to return until well into 2021.
Take that into consideration when you book a flight. It also seems likely….(continued below)
the Thai government is allowing these flights as they want to make sure as many foreign tourists still stuck in Thailand leave in October, before the next visa amnesty deadline on October 31st occurs.
If you can leave the country and do not have a means of extending your visa after the October 31st deadline then, it is probably advisable you do so.
