--BANGKOK, November 29, 2008
"Hundreds of anti-government protesters forced several dozen Thai riot police to abandon a checkpoint on Saturday as they tightened their siege of the country's main airport, witnesses said. Around 2,000 People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) supporters forced back about 150 police from a kilometre (0.6 mile) north of Suvarnabhumi Airport, although the incident passed off without violence"
As I'm sure everyone is aware, the issue in Thailand did not come any where near resolving today, unfortunately. I didn't attempt to call Singapore Airlines today, however I did check their website and found out that "Singapore Airlines will waive all cancellation and change fees for customers with tickets to Bangkok on Singapore Airlines flights issued prior to 26 November, for travel up to and including 7 December, 2008. Customers may change the routing of their journey, defer the date of travel or cancel, without penalty; Any change of date or routing will be charged at the new fare for that journey less the fare for the journey paid to Bangkok, with no amendment fee".
At the moment, Vietnam, most of Cambodia, and Laos are not experiencing too much difficulty, so I am considering attempting to reroute the flight into Vietnam and hopefully spend some time in Thailand in 2-3 months - hopefully the protests are long gone at that point.
