I think that it was two different incedents. The one near Mandalay Disco and also one in front of the administrative Court building. Saw it on Channel 7 news. The one outside the court did explode and left a small hole in the ground, police had yellow taped the entire front lawn and had collected some small fragments from the bomb.

I heard there was a small bomb in a telephone booth outside Mandalay Disco. I don't know how big it was, cannot find any news about it.

One of the things they made clear to me when I went was "Do not touch the tigers head". A friend of mine was there that day, he was in the restaurant eating and heard a big commotion in the tigers cage. Looked over and saw the husband carrying his wife out. No idea it was that bad though.

Set Demonoid as your homepage, that way you remember to check every day. It is supposed to be open for registration the first few days of every month. Took me about three months to catch it on the right day.

Minister assures 200,000 stranded passengers flights within 10 days

BANGKOK, Dec 1 (TNA) - Thailand's Minister of Tourism and Sports assured on Monday all 240,000 stranded passengers could board flights to their destinations within 10 days as Vietnam war-era U-tapao naval airport has been serving a great number of inbound and outbound passengers.

The anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy protesters continue to occupy Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport and Don Mueang airports.

The two airports have been closed since early last week, causing tens of thousands of international travellers to be stranded while thousands of Thais abroad are unable to return home.

U-tapao security chief Captain Somnuek Kaewmarerng said about 400 flights had so far used the U-tapao Naval airport, carrying 50,000 passengers.

Check-in counters at Bitec exhibition center in Bangna were now up and running around the clock to accommodate more passengers to check in for their flights and board buses to U-Tapao airport. Passengers are advised to arrive at Bi-Tec 7 hours before their flight departure time.

All check-in locations at six hotels in Bangkok, meanwhile, were closed on Monday.

Minister of Tourism and Sports Weerasak Kowsurat said another check in location at Muang Thong Thani will be ready by Wednesday.

It will serve passengers leaving for Nakorn Ratchasima airport which can accommodate three Boeing 737s at one time.

Bangkok Airways will operate 2 departing flights daily from Hua Hin airport departing at 2 pm and 5 pm to Samui airport for passengers to connect to Hong Kong.

All foreign passengers falling sick are eligible for free medical care at all private or public hospitals, according to the Public Health Minister Chalerm Yubumrung. (TNA)

4 gunshots heard near Don Mueang Airport

Four gunshots were heard near the protest site at the Don Mueang Airport early Monday.

No one was injured in the gunfire at 20 minutes after midnight.

Guards of the People's Alliance for Democracy saw a taxi arriving on the Vibhavadi Road near the Domestic Passenger Terminal building and a passenger lowered the window and opened fire.

The Nation

Looks like things are starting now... PAD at ASTV and Don Muang attacked around 1:50AM.

I was watching ASTV. The newscaster jumped offscreen, and then then you could hear gunshots and yelling. The camera kept on the desk for a couple minutes then turned black. You could still hear yelling but the server stopped responding a few minutes later and the feed cut.

Where is Starbucks (Night Bazaar branch)?

Right across from The Dukes.

Chang Klan road and Loi Kroh.

The cell phone usage could have facilitated the strike , but what confuses me is where these people were struck , were they still in the water , resting on the bank after a swim , or sheltering under a tree , all three places were mentioned as to where they were .

Terrible tragedy to have happened , my condolences and deepest sympathy to all concerned .

It think they were hit hiding under a tree and the lightning struck the tree. My wife tells me in Thailand they are told to hide under trees during a lightning storm. Here in the US I was always told to get into the open, low to the ground, away from any tall trees. Has anyone else ever heard this?

Does anyone know the name of the bank so I can avoid them.
