Not surprising at all. They dont want anyone there who can get there that had trips booked for the songkran period.

I dont expect the airport to open to tourism this year or until a vaccine is up and running

Looks like the ban on passenger flights will be extended for a longer period.... Couple of days ago was notified by Bangkok Airways that a domestic flight from BKK to CNX on May 28th is now cancelled...

No tourist visas, no entry without visa, no visa on arrival?  I suppose it could be done but with just returning Thais and business travelers, doubt there would be many flights.

We're in unknown territory.
