November 28, 200817 yr I need your help guys! I'm heading to Thailand in a few weeks for holiday with my girlfriend. Now with the PAD at the airport and all that, my girlfriend family is really really concern and reall want her to cancel the trip. Personally, I'm Thai living in Australia (my girl's from Germany), so I know and understand that there's nothing, really! If the airport is open, then we'll be fine! My girlfriend's family is really worried because all they can see is just the news on TV and newspaper and they all look pretty bad. We're going to spend our holiday mainly in Phuket and Phi Phi, so Bangkok is not really my concern. Anyone who live in Thailand (if you can write German will be even better), can you help me and tell me things are ok there? I'm running out of ways to explain to her family about how things are better than they look on TV. I go home every year and I've been back home when things are really bad and there were travel warnings everywhere (SARS, tsunami, terrorist in the south, the coup, etc.), and guess what? I had a good trip everytime! So, any opinions would be highly appreciated.

December 7, 200817 yr Author Hi guys Thank you so much for all your help. The dark cloud seems to be blown away for the time being (until the next election or maybe until the new PM comes in). We are definitely going to Thailand for our holiday as planned. Can't wait!! thanks again for your supports!
December 7, 200817 yr Hi guysThank you so much for all your help. The dark cloud seems to be blown away for the time being (until the next election or maybe until the new PM comes in). We are definitely going to Thailand for our holiday as planned. Can't wait!! thanks again for your supports! THAILAND’S tourism business, its export industries and its reputation have been wrecked by recent events. Crowds of royalists have occupied the government’s offices for months and then seized Bangkok’s airports. The police refused to evict them. The army refused to help. This week the siege was ended after the courts disbanded three parties in the ruling coalition. But the parties plan to re-form under new names and continue governing, so fresh strife threatens. It is as if a thin veneer of modernity, applied during the boom of the 1980s and early 1990s, has peeled away. Until recently a beacon of Asian pluralism, Thailand is sliding into anarchy. A little balance!
