Thailand Protesters Leave Hundreds Stuck

As you're no doubt aware there are currently hundreds of protesters in Thailand's biggest airport staging a demonstration for their dislike of the current prime minister. The protest has caused nothing short of havoc for those trying to travel in and out of the country.

The latest news is sending information of hundred of holiday makers and business employees stranded within the walls of the Suvarnabhumi airport in Thailand as the protesters continue their so far (mostly) peaceful protest. Dressed in bright yellow shirts and brandishing signs, noise horns and brightly coloured masks and costumes they have certainly made a dramatic impression on the area.

Almost all the flights leaving and entering the airport have been cancelled, with a few lucky passengers escaping the country early this morning, however reports of more passengers managing to leave as so far based only on rumour. Most reports have stressed that the people stuck in Suvarnabhumi are not being offered much help and have so far resorted to sleeping on anything from under check in desks to security belts.

Interviews with those still waiting to hear news show people who are tired, hungry and worried for the future. Many people have young children who need food and supplies like nappies and clothes, the elderly are in need of their medication waiting for them at home, and everybody as a whole are having to endure severe boredom while they wait for somebody to tell them what's going on.

As the story continues to develop it is obvious worry for those stranded as to how they're going to fund their delayed stay with money quickly running out and them being unable to make any more. While the financial market is so shaky, and travel has been effected in all ways from companies going bust to theft of travellers possessions being on the increase it is more important than ever to insure yourself and the trip you're going on.

Travel insurance is a necessity during these troubled finance times. Get some advice from an insurance broker to find out how you can get some decent cheap travel insurance.
