It's getting absurd and self defeating when people took their fight against an elected but despised government to one of the busiest international airport in Asia.
The action of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in seizing Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Muang Airport in Bangkok might ends up getting more than what they bargained for.
Their actions had directly affected thousands of international travellers from many countries which I am sure will not be sharing about the beautiful beaches they visited or the cheap bargain they got from Thailand when they finally arrived home but the frightening and life threatening experience they went through at the airports.
Emergency rule was just declared at the airports by the embattled PM Somchai Wongsawat a while ago. By the time the Thai police and army units marches into the airports in the next few hours, the airport runways and PAD supporters yellow T-shirts will most probably turn red as the PAD anti-government will fight it out for the final stand. It seems things are getting out of control and the PAD leaders will be washing blood from the tarmac if sensibility do not prevails on both sides.
While this scenario is unveil moment by moment, the Thai armed forces will be watching closely and will launch a coup de'tat, an usual happening in the history of Thailand. Bangkokians are so use to it that life goes on as usual in the midst of a coup. The only real worry in many heads now is whether there will be civil strife between the reds and the yellows. The red being the pro-government protesters and yellow the anti-government protesters. Once this happens, Thailand will be really in a hot pot of Tom Yam Kung! - Loka
