Bangkok, Thailand closure of Suvarnabhumi International Airport for the Fourth Day due to anti-government protestors instrution

Most flights to and fro Bangkok were canceled due to this incident.

More than 3,000 of protesters stayed strong and unwilling to leave the airport demanding the minister's resignation.

It is said that the airport will remain closed till 29 November, 6 pm.

This had caused not only to me but those who are stranded now in the airport, those whose flights are approaching, those who spent time researching and planning many disappointment and inconvenience.

This had certainly made a bad impression of Bangkok ever since it hit the headlines and their tourism will suffer yet another great fall compared to a drop of 80%.

Well, imo, I am not like those kiasu Singaporeans who are so afraid to go there because I know and understand their targets are for the government and not tourists! That is why it is called a political issue! I will wait for this to stop, hopefully asap, so that I could still continue my trip.

I'm not afraid of the riots, I'm just worried that we can't go. It will just put our efforts into waste. Research, itinerary, planning. Riots can continue if they want to. They have already been like that since the earlier months. They just don't have to go to the extent to take over the control tower at the airport.

The government had really better do something. Actions speak louder than words!
