Stranded tourists at Bangkok Airport: Photo Essay

Here a some pictures of foreign tourists stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

They are going to remember Thailand for a very long time, as the rest of their lives couldn't be any more boring than this. I wonder if there are any Thai masseurs out there in the airport, as the tourists are going to need a lot of Thai massage.

All Flight Cancelled? Bullshit!

I checked-in first



Sleeping in a trolley with my favorite jeans on



We should have taken that flight to Chiang Mai last night



Check out my new bed



Now, how do we get back to Patpong?



Mommy, that Thai kid is looking at us



I am so frickin' pissed



I checked-in first class



Somewhere, over the rainbow...

Thai Coup Rumors

The words 'Coup' and 'Putsch' are appearing more often on Thai newspapers and websites since yesterday. Coup rumors are being spread widely with a lot of phone calls being made to several newspapers' editorial offices to check whether a coup was being staged.

Yesterday afternoon, the Army Commander-in-Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda called on Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat to dissolve the House. But Somchai went on TV later in the evening to announce that his government would not resign or dissolve the House.

Will there be another Thai Coup d'état in 2008 / 2009, similar to the one in 2006?

It's all up to Gen Anupong Paochinda to stage a coup to prevent himself from being sacked by the Somchai government.

Is the Army chief going to allow Somchai to purge him?

How long Somchai remains in da House is to be seen.
