Yes you are right. Neither side are democratic. The problem is that Thailand does not understand democracy in any form.
I have had this discussion with Thai people so many times I am sick of talking about it.
Anyway that is not the topic. The airports will continue to be blocked until the PM stands down or military action is taken. Let us hope for the first option.
PAD have now demonstrated that they don't give a sh*t about what other countries think of them and they will not give up until the PM is deposed. They are now shooting themselves in the foot IMO.
The Thaksin regime, on the other hand, are desperately clinging on to what may be their last position of power. I think it is unlikely that they can place a puppet in charge for a third time that will hoodwink the Thai population and PAD.
So my understanding is that until the PM stands down the airports will continue to be blocked.
PAD say that they have no problem allowing tourists to enter the country but the reality is that the airlines are not prepared to fly people to BKK. I think that Thai Airways are affected as well.
An earlier post mentioned Singapore as being an alternative. There are many others that need checking. Kuala Lumpur, Vientiane. Phnom Phen. The last two often stop at BKK first so may be flying direct at the moment.
