What about my trip next week?????

[chrisbrewer]

And my first ever trip in 4 weeks?

[johnboy1]

I'm going in ten days. Hopefully the airports will be open. I expect it will all be over by then, whatever happens.

[BobsBBQ]

will most likely be settled down by morning, USD going up has been as high as 41 but back at 37.7780 now.

Hi Guys.

Certainly keeping my fingers cross due to fly on Thursday and been looking forward for

months, have rang Etihad and they tell me all flights are operating as normal to Bangkok.

Could have done landing at the new airport to avoid Bangkok, will be tense times ahead

Wish me luck guys.

I'm booked to leave from heathrow on thursday on thai airways.

If the flight leaves as normal, then i'll be on it.

 

Good luck to the people of thailand - it's sad that they had to get rid of toxin in such a manner but a little bit of inconvenience isn't going to dampen my trip or my support for thailand!

I would still come but be aware the country's under 'martial law' and the constitution's been suspended.

 

With that said, the immediate issue will probably early bar closings.

[upena]

don't worry...should be all settled by end of week

It's been reported that the military will return power to a civilian government within the next 2 weeks. This government will apparently remain in place for 1 year after which presumably new elections will be held.

 

Everything is going on as normal in Pattaya today.

The coup will bring down the value of the baht, so more money for girls and drinks. even if the running of the goverment returns to normal the investment world would be hesident. so the dollar will only go up up up. so start planning your trips guys.

I spoke to my girl in Pattaya and she said thier was no problems. I even got a email from her and she reffered to it as "revolution in bangkok". As of now I still plan on leaving for Pattaya on Oct.1, but I am watching the situation. I will avoid Bangkok though.
