A friend said he was watching TV and a tourist spoke that the Airport had been closed. Anymore on this?

Don't know, but can't get any info up on departures on Thai airs website.

That sounds like a rumour only...there are no reports of the airport closing anywhere.

Just watched ITV said all flights still departing to Thailand.

I don't hear any news on the airport. I think it's still operating.

My Mate has just called me from Dubai. 3 flights from Dubai-BKK have been cancelled.

I dont think we should get carried away just yet with the news, just see how things go in the next few days, พักผ่อน.

just been passed Don Muang airport this morning. There are soldiers in the area but flights are still coming in and out of the airport. However with that said check with your individual airlines as it looks like it's their decision.

Things here are very calm, today (Wednesday) has been announced as a public holiday while things settle down.
