Day 6 ...

Not too much new to add, still no progress in the Thailand protests...

"Almost 100,000 foreign tourists were still stranded in the Thai capital after the closure of the international airport, the Bangkok Post reported. This may rise to as many as 300,000 if the protests continue, the newspaper said, citing Tourism and Sport Minister Weerasak Kohsurat"

Despite the fact that tourists are stranded in Thailand, the good thing is that no violence is being show, at all, towards them. Tourists are being treated well, meaning that their accomodation is being paid for while they wait for the governments and airlines to come up with a plan to get them out of the area. The only demonstration of violence by the anti-government protesters is towards the police:

"Anti-government protests in Thailand attacked a police checkpoint near the nation’s main international airport, which remained paralyzed for a fifth day as negotiations failed to end a standoff. About 500 protesters armed with steel bars sped the wrong way down a major expressway leading to the airport and stormed a 150-strong police checkpoint. Police officers jumped into vans and sped away after demonstrators attacked the vehicles and threw firecrackers".

Luckily no one was injured in the attack!
