Bangkok under "State of Emergency"

Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has declared a State of Emergency in Bangkok after violent clashes between pro and anti-Government protesters last night.

Labour unions are threatening strikes from Wednesday 3rd, which will see transportation links drastically reduced. Thai Airways are suggesting that there will be delays to international flights and anti-Government PAD demonstrators are reportedly blocking access to Bangkok’s international airport and a number of provincial airports. There’s also a threat of limited interruptions to water and power supplies.

It’s not like Basingstoke is it?
