"Anti-government demonstrators in Thailand say they will end their long-running protests tomorrow. The announcement comes in response to a verdict by the constitutional court that the ruling People Power Party is guilty of electoral fraud. The court has ordered the party to be dissolved and Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat to stand down. He has been banned from public office for the next five years"
Great news, although this does not meant the airport will be open right away. No one knows exactly when flights into Bangkok will commence as they want to ensure that it will be safe first!! One article I came across said that the airports will be clsoed until at least December 15. I don't think I'd want to land in Thailand so short after the protests anyways!!
So, if I want to travel to Vietnam, it will cost me $100 Canadian dollars. At the moment, this seems like the best choice. Malaysia would be good also, which is the direction Jarrett and Holly are heading, so I'm also considering that. I will make my decision once I land in Singapore.
