As the Bangkok Airport's have now begun to reopen. These alternative Travel arrangements are no longer needed.
Thus no further seating availability Updates will be posted.
In the event that the PAD does re stage future protest and block airports again at some point in the future I will post further information regarding seating availability.
I hope all this information of the late week has helped some people out of there situation.
Thanks Thaitransit.
