Bangkok Protest Make Us Fly Standby to Hong Kong
2009 January 4
Sunday, November 30th, 2008. Today we were supposed to fly from Penang to Singapore, then Singapore to Hong Kong. The Singapore to Hong Kong flight was routed through Bangkok…but Bangkok was closed.
I talked a little bit about Bangkok democracy protests last week and how they weren’t interfering with normal life too much. That changed a few days ago – protesters from the P.A.D. (People’s Alliance for Democracy) seized Bangkok’s Suvarnabumi airport and shut it down. Our flight, scheduled to go through Bangkok, was cancelled.
So, we hung out at the airport and waited on standby for a flight. It was a very productive work day.
