100,000 travellers stranded in Bangkok airport
The number of tourists and travellers getting stranded in the main airport continued to rise amid the protest. Today the number had risen to 100,000 angry and frustrated tourists wanting to go back home. Their life is screwed up as the situation they are in is absolutely uncalled for and they were left to suffer.
Stories of these stranded tourists really make me so upset. Some of them had been through the immigration or passport control and then only to find out they can’t board the plane and they don’t have a visa to stay in the kingdom anymore. What could be worse than that?
I can imagine the frustration these tourists/passengers are facing and to augment that communication is also almost impossible because of the language barrier.
I also feel bad for expats and foreign workers in the kingdom who might have wanted to go home this Christmas and are left in uncertainty. But I do hope everything will return to normal very soon.
I’m afraid that Thailand’s tourism industry is getting the worst impact.
