After a one-hour journey from Bangkok to the southern town of Trang, the pilot announced we were landing, but our plane took off again a few minutes later. I looked out the window and spotted rain clouds forming over the airport and runway. Due to poor visibility, the pilot opted to return to Bangkok before changing his mind and landing temporarily in Krabi.
Some passengers were anxious and began haggling with cabin crew members to be allowed to disembark the plane and continue their journey by car. However, 30 minutes later, our airplane took off again and landed safely in Trang.
