Thailand Airports Closed, Hatyai Flood Warning

Thailand Airports are still closed and I've just read that one died and 22 were injured as assailants fired a grenade in Don Muang Airport. It's really getting messy in Thailand at this time.

Last night, when I chat with my Hubby he also said that some parts of Hatyai were flooded until knee deep. The rain is still on going non stop and heavy. I just hope and pray that the flood that happened in the year 2000 would would not happen again when the water rose up to 2 meters and several people died. We were there during that time and thank God that the place we were staying was on a higher ground and we were not affected at all, except that we didn't have electricity and water for several days. But what was good was that free water and food were provided by the Thai government.

Back to the closure of the airports, I'm not sure when it will be reopened again. It has been closed for a week now and as the news said, the damage done is already 'incalculable'. There are already alternate flights available in Chiang Mai and other airports but it would still be a hassle to all the travelers and passengers. Thank God too that the ticket we booked for my Hubby's flight on the 15th is going to be in KLIA and not in Suvanabhumi. The only thing though is that we mailed a special Christmas Card which Tricia made for my Hubby and mailed it last week. I'm sure the Christmas card is also stuck there and my Hubby won't receive it before leaving Hatyai. but it's no big deal actually, Tricia can always make another card for him . :)
