...now that the airport to thailand is closed???...

Airport is not closed lah...

And Thailand has had 18 coups in their recent history, most of which are non-violent. It's 'business as usual' in the city and most areas are unaffected, with people carrying on their usual routines. It's one of the 'methods' for transition of power from one govt to the next.

Dun panic and dun sensationalise until you hear otherwise.

i took the first flight out from BKK this morning. i saw some travellers camp at the airport since last night to make sure they can catch their flight. no rush and big crowd in the airport... no army spotted at the airport also.

btw, the coup happened at 10.00 pm last night... at 9.30 p.m, i was still TCSS with the taxi driver who brought me around tat Lumphini park to find some FLs standing at the road side....just curious and stop and ask one FL, how much, answer 500 Bht...i think is for one shot...shit i should take her... then when the news break on the coup, i will ask her to stay for overnight to protect her liao lah!!!

way i see it, the coup should lower the price of FL in Singapore.
think about it, the TH baht has dropped in value. FL here get paid in Sing$, thus for the same amount of money they can get more Thai baht in return.

so..shouldn't they be paid less Sing $?

That's y they are called 'news'. Who will read news like this, "Military took over the govt." They definitely need to add in salt n pepper to spice up. :D Ask those working in BKK, are they panicking?? Are they getting the first flight out of BKK??

Actually the Thai Baht has not really drop in value vis a vis S$.
Even against US$, it is very marginal.

I cancelled my trip for tomorrow to BKK, just worried no shopping ... chatuchak close or something like that. But most probably will go up in 2 weeks time. (luckily, I bought SQ tics with no penalty for cancellation, just need to rebook within a month)

Agree with naemlo, i dont think there will be fighting already, if hv would hv done so earlier, the military supporting thaksin must hv strike a deal liao.

But I think short term, some shops may not open ...

BTW, I check budget tickets this morning, must be alot of cancellation .... cheap cheap man

No offence, but your logic or reasoning is flawed.

The drop is so minuscule, won't make you rich.

Heard about opportunity cost? After all, they come here to earn sg bucks. Also have to stay here, pay costs, okt cuts etc in sg. Conversely, as the baht has been on the up last months (partly, us$ correlation), did you have to pay MORE for tg FLs?

Sanuk, not get your hopes high (for discount).:p

I don't understand why this kind of thread can be started. If the FLs cannot go home if the airport is closed, then hopefully those kindhearted ones can bring them go ICA and be their sponsor lor.:cool:

How come Thailand so many orphans no one post and ask whether they got rice to eat tomorrow boh? :rolleyes:

Just came back yesterday, took a 12.15pm TG411 flight back. Everything as usual. Business as usual too. Only gov office is close.

Only see a few armed soldier outside gov building when taking taxi to airport.

Was having a boby massage at Nataree, near The Emerald Hotel. The fish tank concept, inside the tank asking for 2000B but those sitting outside ask 2200B to 2500B.

The boby massage was good man, hope can find that in Singapore. Don think hv here...sian.
