Thai Airways has made the decision to resume dozens of international flights to destinations around the world, as restrictions ease and the country targets tourism. The decision comes in the wake of the news revealed last week that the strong travel restrictions imposed by Thailand at the start of the pandemic, such as mandatory quarantine, are set to come to an end for millions of potential travelers in the coming few weeks.
The decision to relaunch flights shows how seriously the tourism-dependent nation is taking the decision to open up to the world once more, and suggests that they will be keen to avoid the same mistake that other rival destinations have made in recent days – having no international flights ready. Here's a look at which Thai Airways routes are set to restart in a few weeks.
Thai Airways Routes To Resume – Information For Travelers
The flag-carrying airline of Thailand, Thai Airways has always been synonymous with class, service and high standards, and has long since served as the airline of choice for both backpackers and luxury holidays making their way to the Land of Smiles. With the pandemic forcing many would-be travelers to stay at home, Thai Airways scaled back their operations to match the low demand – though that is all set to change.
The airline is set to resume its full range of services on 36 foreign routes, anticipating pent-up demand from foreign tourists in the wake of Thailand’s restrictions easing. With the resumption of most of these services set to begin on October 31st, those planning to visit Thailand this winter could well see Thai Airways flights listed alongside the usual suspects when it comes to booking a flight in the coming weeks.
Thai Airways resumption of operations is truly a global affair, with routes to destinations in Europe, Asia and Australia all set to go live once more. Routes set to resume in order to support the Phuket Sandbox scheme are as follows:

TG should consider bkkccubkk also in its planning of resumption operations as I believe CCU has its potential comparing passenger traffic and cargo load

The Media, Doctors, and Politicians are racking up profits, Closing the borders, and blaming the locals for the spread. While the locals are going bankrupt,
That, is what this virus is all about.

What is the best route from California? We make up a huge share of travel to Thailand. And we are low COVID here. -- in the past, I've gone through Taipei. Is that still possible on different tickets (or at all?)
I would be interested for December if it looks like it goes well.
