The Thai government will no longer charter evacuation flights for its citizens in Israel after today, unless there are enough passengers to fill an aircraft.
Thais can still arrange their own travel back and apply for a refund for the air ticket cost from the Labour Ministry.
The government has allocated 1.2 billion baht for returning Thais needing loans, complemented by 2 billion baht in low-interest, long-term loans (up to 150,000 baht) from state banks for debt repayment or new businesses.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
