Yeah we have some really amazing politics here... An ex-prime minister who was kicked out of the country because he ran it like his personal piggybank, yet every time there are elections it's one of his puppets who wins... Their opposition is unfortunately taking some really desperate steps now like this taking over of the airport...

In a way, I support them, our new airport is a bit of a running joke, I don't know how many billions of Baht were invested in there, and how many of those billions ended up in peoples' pockets... It's an impressive building but very stupidly designed, imagine this for example, you get off a long flight and want to go to the bathroom? For the corridor of gates there is only one bathroom, with 3 stalls and one urinal. So, they are certainly making a statement there.

On the other hand, they're killing the country this way, who the heck will want to take a vacation to a country where they can't land a plane? Air freight import and export is also similarly at a standstill, it's just insane...

When I worked with Microchip brand controllers most of the final work was done in Thailand. Samples were delivered to my door by FedEx straight from Thailand. This can't be good for the nation in the long term but at the same time nobody likes Crony Capitalism except the cronies.
