BANGKOK – On the sun-baked tarmac of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport last Thursday, Thailand’s ambassador to Israel, Ms Pannabha Chandraramya, laid wreaths on eight coffins strapped onto baggage carts.
After a moment of silence, the bodies of these Thai nationals were loaded onto a plane to be sent home. They were the first of the 30 Thais killed that began on Oct 7.
