There has been chaos at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport since it was occupied by anti-government protesters. Flights from the airport were suspended because of the protest - the latest stage in months of demonstrations in the Thai capital. Thousands of travellers have been left stranded. The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) protesters are demanding the resignation of Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and say they will not leave until he steps down. Security has been high and some of the protesters were injured by small blasts, but travellers said they did not feel threatened. However, some complained that they had received very little information from the authorities and that tensions were rising. Many have been stuck in no-man's land, having passed immigration and checked in their luggage. Some people have now been evacuated, but tourists reported chaotic scenes as buses arrived to take them away from the airport. Back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
