Bangkok Thailand International Suvarnabhumi Airport PAD Demonstrations nov 26, 2008

People's Alliance for Democracy protesters forced Suvarnabhumi airport to close on november 26. 2008. You will see a one minute video of a speach from one of the PAD people outside the terminal. I was filming at about 8:50 this day. I was at the airport because my flight with Bangkok Airways PG 905 was sheduled at 11:35 to go to Siem Reap. All flights were cancelled that day. The airport opened again!! More information about my personal travel on my website: http://www.reiseberichte.bplaced.net

LOL, you leftists think it's people power but they are for less Democracy! They want the Government chosen by the elites. Quite the spin I think, pro monarchy! I can't blame them (dumb ass masses will run you into the ground) but I think it's funny when leftists say people power when they are the elites in protest!

It's the airport authority who ordered the shutdown of the airports, not PAD. The airport could still function well. PAD only obstructed the road outside, while there are four other levels of easy accesses to the airport buildings. PAD did not interfere with the-passengers-officers-secure d zones-airport control. It is the smear of the government on PAD because the Head of the airport authority is a brother-in-law of Weera, the leader of red UDD, a strong supporter of the government and Thaksin

According to Thai astrology it states that "From year 2005 onwards Thai people will fight each other to death and to the destruction of the whole nation and their survival will be saved after they dare to kill their king."

When you see the government officals take 10 and 'give' one back to spend on the people, you can see why people have had enough. It's not like they are saying the rural areas don't deserve the support.

BUT YOU MUST REALISE THAT IF 90% OF THE WEALTH CONTINUED TO GO TO ONLY 10% OF THE PEOPLE IN THAILAND THEN I WOULDN'T PUT UP WITH IT EITHER!!!

I mean thats what it's like - forget the people who don't have an opportunity to make a decent standard of living - your bad luck! Payback ???

going to harm them, but in the long term it would be much better.

You should try to get off the beaten western path and into the villages and back streets - its a different story... I did not say Thai people are dumb at all.

My experience is that the average wage is ~500Bhat per month. The villagers aren't dumb, but they don't get any say either - they leave it to the elders who are the ones collecting the cash for the benefit of the village. Its not democracy unless its an informed decision.

andersemanuel I agree with you - the court should decide - but these protests have been going many months BECAUSE I think no action was taking place.

mediamindcontrol - I'm neither Thai or went to university.

I did however spend alot of time getting to know the people one street over from the tourist zones, where I got to see for myself the desperation of people. It wasn't pretty and talking to people who run businesses they felt the demonstrations were /cont.
