BANGKOK, Thailand – Thailand's main international airport canceled all flights Wednesday as thousands of protesters swarmed the complex in efforts to bring down the government, stranding tourists and dealing a blow to the country's already-fragile tourism industry.

The airport takeover was one of the boldest gambles yet by the People's Alliance for Democracy in its four-month campaign to topple Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, whom it accuses of being the puppet of a disgraced fugitive predecessor, billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra.

The alliance vowed to bring its campaign to a final showdown this week, and violence has spiked, including streets clashes between supporters and opponents of the government Tuesday that included the first open use of firearms by the anti-government protesters. Police said 11 government supporters were injured, some with gunshot wounds.

Early Wednesday, assailants threw four explosives at anti-government protesters, including one targeting a group about a half-mile (1 kilometer) from Bangkok's main international Suvarnabhumi Airport.

A second was tossed into a crowd of supporters gathered at the domestic Don Muang airport, injuring three others, police said. Two other explosives were thrown in

jesus christ, contacting my friends out there now

i was reading about that. good luck man

Fuck! jscott stay safe dude.

I just got my pilot's license and I have access to a small lear jet. I'm ready to fly down to help pull out my friend Jscott if needed!

Oh crap. I'm suppose to go there for the holiday during x-mas. Hopes my tickets are refundable. I rather go somewhere else safe.

Apparently the PAD have taken over the control tower/s as well. Soon as Somchai lands, I bet it will kick off.

-N

Troubles will probably pass by Xmas. I'd go, have a good time and ignore the local politics. Get out of Bangkok and go up to Changmai or down to Phuket.

Damn stay safe all u guys that are over there.

I certainly hope it will be over by then. All u there now stay safe.

My flight is tonight and my airline has already contacted me asking if they can put me on a flight next week (I was hoping to arrive on Thanksgiving day to be with my family)

So it's not looking good, had nothing but bad news so far today, but they are still not 100% sure yet if we will be able to fly out tonight.

Rochard, I think I will be needing your Cherrypimps lear jet asap, get over here man!!!!!

Do they run a train to Hong Kong or Macau?

If the airline will swap your ticket, get the trainride of a lifetime.

Stay safe Jscott!

Solution.

Land to Phenom Phen (it sucks but you can do it) and then fly to Singapore and then on to USA.

You can also bus or train it to Phuket or Samui and hit a 3rd country from there and then onto the USA.

Sorry to hear it Jscott! I know how much you were looking forward to the trip home :(

Good luck and stay safe man

good luck...

take the bkk train to singapore and catch a singapore air flight to the US. GL

Yikes, hope everything works out for ya man!

I'm looking into doing this, going to be a HUGE hassle setting this up and getting to a working aiport and also getting refund my flight too, going to be so shitty :Oh crap

Yea man it's a HUGE downer for me and my family :(
