We slept well with the family in Lat Krabang.
The morning runs very quietly, a little cleanup and especially following the news, that's about it.

During the day Pia speaks with a few acquaintances from the Netherlands, Tum and Lat, who are now also in Thailand.
Due to the whole situation as a result of the Covid-19 virus, nothing is open in Thailand, traveling through Thailand also seems to be getting more difficult, there are checkpoints here and there.
After both conversations we decide that we really don't want to stay in Thailand anymore; the situation in the Netherlands may not be great either, but we have more confidence in Dutch health care than in Thai. We also don't like the idea that we have to stay in Lat Krabang for at least another month because traveling through Thailand will be very difficult, if not impossible.
We haven't heard from our travel agency, Nethai, for two days and we decide to try to contact them. We understand that the travel agency is undoubtedly also busy, but we want to know where we stand.
Tom looks at the Eva Air website, and there are no more seats available on flights to Amsterdam On the KLM site there are still flights from 1 April for about 700 Euro per person; that would cost us 1400 Euro.
Pia tries to get in touch with Nethai through Dutch acquaintances, but she has no suuces. There is contact with Eva Air in the Netherlands, who only has two business class seats available for approx. 1015 Euro per person; Eva Air is also almost unable to get in touch with Nethai.
It is now 12 o'clock at night, tomorrow we decide what we will do.
