Slow paralysis part 2: Thai Haj pilgrims stranded.

Update on Thailand Airport issue. I know i said i am too bored of Thai's neverending issue. But.. haha still i keep myself update with these stuffs so why not share ait?






From Bangkok post.com

More than 5,000 Thai Muslim pilgrims had planned to make the haj but are unable to leave since the PAD forced the shutdown of the airport on Tuesday.

"Some have sold their land for this once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage, and now they end up being stranded at the airport," Mr Pridi said.

Owh remember last time i posted a dissing post on Samak? Well apparently (tho those who have been living in a cave) he stepped down eventually. (thank god) and was replaced with Somchai. But PAD are still not satisfied they decided to attack the airport as Somchai was arriving back to Thai after going to Peru.

And i did say a while ago (weeeks or months ago when Samak was still in the chair), refrain visiting Bangkok since it might sound safe, but its not. Now two airports are closed by PAD and people are being stranded. Great. Now.. this might just be Thailand's Tourism industry BIGGEST lost.


I did say that these situations are a slow paralysis to the country if it doesn't stop. Now, gladly an article proves that they too agrees read Politics will worsen recession's impact
