KWA Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Does anyone know what's going on? Eva Air BR68 from London has just landed at Utapao after a few loops and what looks like a couple of attempts at BKK. Several other flights looping around too, including some low above Pattaya which is what attracted my interest. Thunderstorms were in the forecast for today but currently the airport weather is reported as good. 2

The heavy rain must be very localized. You're only about 1km from me and all we got was a few sprinkles, just enough to wet the pavement. 1

Horizondave Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 There will be a few departure delays, more than arrival delays. Just bad weather for a short duration. Landed at Swampy in August last year from Chiang Mai, after arrival the airport closed, the baggage wasn't even being collected as the staff could not do their duties due to the adverse weather. As I had a bus to catch, I left my baggage for pick up by Bangkok Air staff, picked it up 2 days later. Luckily I had hand luggage with clothes for 2 days. 1
