On the Irish news it?s just been reported that Bangkok airport will not reopen until Monday December 15.

Can?t see anything about that date anywhere else on the web.

Any news about this in Bangkok?

Damm I?m booked on a flight to arrive on the 14th.

yes, i've heard that the airport will re open on December 15....but i'm still not sure about it yet...let's wait and see in a couple of days!

No it will open this Thursday the 4th not 15th

I will keep my eyes on the news, I quite like AOT Governor... look forward to hear from him...

I doubt it will open the 4th.

Not after the PAD have destroyed the place, and then take whatever they want on the way out.

Did anyone see the list of stolen items from the last place they protested at?

Was a long list!

P.A.D. - (Pillage And Destroy) ?

yesterday on news....the Suvarnabhumi broad said it will take at least 1 week to check everything in the airport

I saw on the news that the first planes will leave on the 5th.

Hmmm, I'm supposed to arrive on the 13th...I'll let you know Pring. ;-)

That's a good news! I'm looking forward to going back home.

Must be in a right state at the moment. Gonna take a while to clean up, repair damage, and check all systems for safety.

now,we have to stay and wait.

JustinBkk - surprisingly, PAD have not touched any of the shops in the terminal (BBC were in there llive this lunchtime GMT) which really just leaves a hell of a mess to clean up and systems to check. Contradictions on first flights (dont think there is much wrong with systems as cargo flights flying today) - some say 15th some say midnight Thursday - we will see in the next 48 hours...

"With the waning of the political crisis, the official in charge of Thailand's airports said Suvarnabhumi international airport will resume operations on Friday.

"Please have confidence in us," said Vudhibhandhu Vichairatana, the chairman of the Airports of Thailand.

He said the flights will be a birthday gift for Thailand's revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who turns 81 on Dec. 5. The airport reopened to cargo flights Tuesday."

if it will be closed forever, i dont mind. PAD would be happy as long as the country is being ruined.

The date 15 Dec is on the Nation website: headline

"Suvarnabhumi airport to remain closed until at least Dec 15 : AOT

By The Nation

Suvarnabhumi International Airport will remain closed to passenger flights until at least Dec 15 due to the disruption caused by anti-government protesters."

but this same article says the AOT and PAD are working together to get the airport open for passengers on 3 December??

In other words, 15 December would be the date if the protesters either deliberately or inadvertently damaged systems that have to be to international standards before reopening. But emergency measures will probably start immediately, and the King's birthday may unite all to work together fast.

i guess , everybody who's work in Airport must working hard all week.

Hobbes !!!! am sure you can landing, many flowers CM waiting for you there.
