Thailand turmoils
Thailand has been in a critical condition since protesters fron the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) have sieze the Suvarnabhumi Airport. Bomb blasts, grenade explosions and gunfire have since caused 7 people injured making this one of the most strongest protest after the one which forced Mr Samak to stepped down after the court ruling that he had taken part in cooking shows. The reason for this protest is for Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and his government to step down. Thai shares have since dropped because of the airport chaos. The country's powerful army chief has stated that he will not support the (PAD) but has urged the government to dissolve and hold new elections. However Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat has since rejected the general's call for a new election and reassures that the government will continue functioning till the end. This is a catastrophe for Thailand and I feel that the thais are harming their economy by doing this and with the refusal to step down by Mr Somchai, this may continue for a much longer period of time and cause much harm to the economy and also the inconvience caused for tourists who are stranded and can't get back to celebrate festive seasons like the Thanksgiving holiday. Relatives of those stranded will be worried sick and I strongly urged for this to stop
