The passengers consisted of Thai citizens…

• 76 from Germany,

• 2 from Switzerland,
• 2 from Hungary,
• 2 from the Czech Republic,
• 1 person from Belgium,

3 monks, along with 6 other people, were detained for 14 days in accordance with state measures at a Samut Prakan Hotel (near the airport). While the remaining 101 people were taken by bus to enter quarantine at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok.
