  1. I'm due to fly out of Phuket Tuesday. Please keep the updates coming and if come Tuesday there is still a problem, I am open to sharing a car rental with anyone else that needs to get to BKK.

    Good idea, as i would guess all the buses are jammed packed at the moment!

    I believe if you rent through budget, you can even leave the car in BKK when you drop it off at the airport, so renting a car for a day only 1500 + 1500 Gas, so is spilt betwwn 4 less the a grand :o

  2. Indeed, you'd be mental to join any side if the truth be told - one think jabbering on a forum, but openly supporting one side or another in a protest as a foreigner is downright dangerous.

    downright bloody Stupid !!!!!!!!!

    But i have heard from a few ferang that they find this funny !!!!, and want to join as it was a laugh!!!!!!................

    I hope the tear gas gets to them first!

  3. With all the threads going on at the moment, please add your political comments whether they are support or bashing of the PAD here, thus we can keep the news threads clean.

    Also i have added a poll to see who does or doesnt support the PAD on Thaivisa, please vote.....

    Thanks

  4. When is it going to stop. who is going to back down. the poeple are baltenly doing illegal stuff the police are heavy handed. what will the king do. he can't go against the people yet the people are going crazy. will the army close down the coutry. has this priminister done anything illegal yet. what is the rest of the world going to do. what are they saying in britain and america

    Long time Thai expats from "britain and america" have flown to Thailand at their own expense and joined the PAD protests.

    What a bunch of <deleted> they are then :o

  5. Update at 11.30am:

    Now some Thai friends who work in duty-free at the airport have been sent home and told that flights will not restart until at least 6pm.

    Some PAD demonstrators are back at the main airport entrance again and have broken the glass windows of the car-park ticket booth. (Maybe they didn't want to pay for parking? :o )

    Anyway, certainly not good news for tourists stranded here in Phuket and those unable to fly here for their holidays.

    Good reporting Simon, keep the updates coming in

    So i take it the airport will be shut till 6 pm?

  6. Well these muppets who call themselves the PAD have now invaded Phuket and shut down the airport!!!

    TO all the supporters of PAD , Get A Life, you are only damaging your COUNTRY with all these stupid protests

    The PAD are now starting to form at Koh Samui Airport

  7. I have just been told on the telephone about this now, as it has something to do with the PAD

    Story goes that a policeman bashed an old lady PAD supporter, and then the ploice would not allow an ambulance to get through?...

    This is turning messy if they are in Phuket now!

  8. Yes you can phone for free......................... no one ever answers though but its the thought that counts! I like to help!!!

    Sounds some-what like the government e-mail system , lights on but no-one is home , replies most noticeable by thier abscense .

    off topic, but same goes for the Thai emergency services, they never answer either :o

  9. Phra Rahu

    Does this info click with what you saw?

    Excellent Link Mossfinn , learnt something new again from your posts.....

    Luckily this is Thailand, could you imagine the PC brigade in the UK for a shrine for ' Black Offerings ' :o
