Airports of ThailandThe government has introduced visa relief measures after 166 flights were cancelled amid Middle East fighting, with immigration waiving overstay fines for stranded travellers. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports said it is closely monitoring travel disruption linked to the conflict between Israel and Iran. However, the cancellations have affected departure stamp procedures, raising the possibility of congestion at immigration checkpoints, particularly at Suvarnabhumi. "The volume of foreign travellers reflects Thailand's vibrant tourism atmosphere," Pol Maj Gen Choengron said. We are not complacent and wish to clarify the necessity of these measures to Thai society and foreign visitors."
