Thai nationals seeking a boarding pass must present a "fit-to-fly" health certificate and a certifying letter from a Thai Embassy, Thai Consulate Office or the Thai Foreign Ministry. The Facebook page of the Thai Embassy in London has been flooded by over 1,200 comments, mostly complaints and pleas for help. It's impossible to get only a health certificate. The requirement for the embassy letter is a double burden," she told the Bangkok Post, adding the embassy will not issue the letter unless a health certificate is presented first.
