The emergency landing took place less than a day after Air India Flight AI171 with 242 passengers on board smashed into a doctor’s hospital, killing all but one passenger and others on the ground.
Flight AI379 took off at 9:30am local time and circled the west coast of the island before landing again just minutes later.
The plane made a wide loop around the Andaman Sea before landing back on the island, according to Flightradar24.
The 156 passengers were evacuated from the plane in line with emergency protocol, an Airports of Thailand official said.
They also said the chilling bomb threat was received on board the plane.
