tried to get a train to Bangkok for tomorrow and it is shut down.  So now i'm flying out of Surathani instead.  hope everything goes smoothly.

I hope the best for you, my gf told me that on Thai TV they said Suratthani airport is blocked (= closed?) by PAD now.

airasia still accepted my money (big surprise)  is there a source for this so i can try to change plans as soon as possible.

Does anyone know if the Surat Thani Airport is operating? Need to know quick.  Can't call at this hour to find out either.

I guess nobody can tell you for sure about tomorrow. Can just repeat that apparently on the 7 o'clock news on channel 9 they said that at 6 o'clock Surratthani airport was also shut down by PAD people. Maybe somebody who speaks good Thai can confirm/give more news?

my friends saying Surat is operating, and no rumors that it will be different tomorrow, but who can say what's next?? I guess it will keep on going to accelerate the pressure until he leaves (Samak).

i thought the Surat Thani airport doubles as an Air force base.  I doubt the military will allow for any PAD interference there.  I'm headed there anyway and hopefully the runway is clear of protesters.

A protest has also taken place at Surat Thani Airport, forcing THAI to suspend flights to the province.

Airport open! It's a private airport! So this is a different story and I guess people behind the movement will know this, because it would not need much to stop it and and I assure you there would be enough people waiting for a sign to go inn there too!

Flew to singapore yesterday, all same same at the airport, no sign of anything going on - not even any police presence.
