Can you imagine the bedlam if the sedative had worn off in flight. Not funny

I had this problem once, but it was stated that it was not a problem as Phils immigration feed all exit immigration forms into a data base.

Oh come on chappies, how can you expect insurers to drive around in their Rollers if they have to pay out on such trivial things. I have never trusted insurers and probably never will

Why dont YOU divorce your wife for desertion and adultery, seems she has no leg to stand on

well well, what a great athlete Pacquiao is. Tremendous effort by him and totally destroyed De la Hoya.

Hats off to him

I purchased a Compaq C700 in Panthip on Monday. Monday night I downloaded Avast and my Printer Driver. Yesterday the computer would not boot up so I called HP Service Center and they told me to take it to Zeer IT Centre which was the nearest to me. Unfortunately things were going on in Chaeng Wattana and I couldnt get out. Today went to the Service Center to be told that my brand new never used computer had a hard ware problem.

Was advised to take it back to Panthip and they are obliged to change it if its reported within 7 days.

Can anyone confirm this ruling please !!!

Let's all hope that whoever is in charge of Thailand now arranges immediately some sort of security measures to prevent the PAD or any other mob from entering the airports. Immediately, I mean 10.01am !!

My thoughts entirely !!!! Would like to see a large number of troops at the airport immediately with all approach roads sealed off and real security enforced.

I accept that troops at such places dont look good to the average Joe, but in these times a necessity I fear

I also wondered about pilferage, no doubt a lot of the lady supporters are wearing expensive make up and carrying expensive hand bags whilst the guys are well stocked up with ciggies and booze !!!

Funny really King Power getting a little Karma

Yes its the annual Kings Birthday Parade, but wouldnt it grand if they continued marching with one half wheeling left towards Don muang and the others headed straight for Swampypoon.

Now that would cause a few stains in hundreds of undies

Totally stung by these know all newbie posters I have taken the time to clean my Bi-focals and retune my hearing aid and Broody Nora it worked Mr Summerville has reported it again, albiet a repeat of his previous piece.

So glad to say, contrary to what others may think, I am not going senile !!!

NOW back to my original post, if this is true how would that affect the current situation AND anyone know where Toxin is at this moment

thank you ovenman at least you are able to read !!!

The BBC are reporting that local TV stations have suggested that Somchai has left Thailand for "personal" reasons.

Personal = Thaksin ??? if true very interesting but what implications could this have on the current situation

he was in maerim half an hour ago. i live within walking distance

what is your source

can't moderators stop these constant rumours or block the posters

Can you read, did you see the three letters BBC, thats the source and was reported 15 minute ago

my guess would be that they will have to get rid of the passenger backlog which might mean that you will be pushed back. Extra flights are a possibility but that would depend on the capacity of the Bangkok Airport

Not meaning to sound negative, but I have a PAL flight booked for the 23rd and I am worried about that one !!!

it is reported that pigeons are not being affected by the close downs

I think the major problem is that it is hard to find flight details and seat availability. Its a long drive for a family with young children only to find that there are no flights available.

I do agree that people could make the efforts if so need be as my friend did yesterday, hired a car to Hat Yai and has a ticket for the noon bus to KL. He however is the MD of one of UK's major fire truck manufacturers so cash is not an issue and he is not laden down with a wife and ankle biters

Generally I have had no problems, but there is one UK number that I get told "this number is unavailable", but when dialling direct with CAT the number rings - have never been able to work that one out

A visiting business friend of mine had a very important meeting in Shanghai, only way he could get out was to drive to Hat yai and arranged a sister company in Malaysia to meet him at the border and drive him to KL - looooooooooooooong trip

Open the champagne when you actually book and get your tickets at that price

As i understand it, there are no foreign tourists at the airports, they were evacuated by airlines and TAT earlier. In fact another kind hearted poster who visited today has confirmed this.

Government report SOE declared BUT only for Dom Muang and Swampypu. Is this possible as i cannot understand how a SOE can be regionalised

"when will the airport open" very good question, but its not just a case of when the PAD allows it to be. According to reports, there is over 50m Bahts worth of damage inflicted on the terminal building. I would imagine that for the airline caterers they will have had a lot of spoilt food that will have to be replaced. All of this will probably take more than a few days to sort out, and as someone else has pointed out, it will take the airlines days to get back on schedule.

A right mess for sure

I agree that the military are being very clever here BUT what concerns me is that if the PAD are not broken now then who ever gets elected in the future can bring these fanatics back out onto the streets and back to square one. Its a never ending scenario

And lets not lose the point that PAD actions have nothing to do with democracy its for personal self interest by their leaders and thats it.

I would think that the Immigration would be sympathetic and please understand you are not the only one in this situation. In such a situation I would sit tight and wait for flights to commence again. If the flights are back by the 28th then you are ok if not then you will have to negotiate with TG for another ticket and date. But again you are not alone
