This morning when I woke up, the first thing I saw on my phone was a sms from my Mom.
Mom: Latest News, Thai Airport close due to riots.
I am suppose to fly to Bangkok this Sunday for a training conducted by our company for the new RSLC, fast LC system. In the afternoon, I recieved an email from my Dad who responded to the email which I had sent to them on the details of my flight. I was surprised to receive the email from Dad since I am in town. He did not call me but send me an email instead. hmmm
Dad: Did you heard the news yesterday that Suvarnabhumi Airport is closed indefinitely ?.The anti government protesters are now blocking the roads leading to the airport. Many flights are cancelled.
After I saw the news on the TV on the situation in Bangkok where all the travellers were stranded, it reminded me of the time when the Hong Kong airport was close due to the weather. This resulted in me being stranded in Taiwan for a night and Hong Kong for another. It was really horrible and I do not want to put myself in that situation ever again. Now the government has also declared a state of emergency. Oh my... I don't want to be stuck there...
