It seems that BKK is not the only destination to suffer from this.
TK70 to HKG also. And now that I think about it, there are probably few passengers who connect in HKG anyway, so there is honestly very little implication to delay TK70. And yes, this flight hit a record rate of having half of the flights over the last 8 days departing within 80 minutes from departure time ! Today the flight has a 5-hour delay again.. which is what people should be expecting for this flight anyway. (Well it would be 5 hours fewer in the quarantine hotel after landing. Hooray !)
