SINGAPORE: Thai authorities have closed airports in Phuket, Hat Yai and Krabi due to protests in the country and this has affected flights from Singapore.

 

So far only one SilkAir flight to Phuket was affected. It was supposed to take off at 6:30pm on Friday but has now been postponed to 10am on Saturday.

 

Travellers at the popular beach resorts have also been stranded.

 

The airport protests came as thousands of activists laid siege to Bangkok's Government House for the fourth straight day, calling for Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej to resign. - CNA/vm

These opposition protesters are getting too much. Everytime not happy with the elected gov. Now complaint that the PM is a proxy of Thaksin....where's the proof? Aiyah...tell the opposition don't pretend lah...want to be gov, just say lah...not need to do all these wayang.

 

I'm usually quite anti-establishment...but this time, i'm not on their side.

hmm...too bad protest/strike is illegal otherwise....more than 66.6% will do that in spore seeing how the new team hv been "proving" themselves

 

yeah...what they are doing now is bad for their own economy. now i waitg for the King to step out and say something. Long Live the King. He really has foresight.

I am really worried about the situation as I also travel often to Bangkok.

Hope that the situation gets solved soon.

 

Thailand likes to change PM like underwear.
