All Nippon Airways flight NH847, carrying 32 Thais -- 15 stranded at the airport and 17 others elsewhere in Japan and who wanted to return home -- landed at Suvarnabhumi airport at 3.30pm. Ms Natcha said that because they did not have a visa to enter Japan, they were forced to sleep on seats in the airport. Moreover, upon their arrival, they must be in quarantine for 14 days according to the disease quarantine regulations.
