Pattaya Times Thailand Flood Update; Main Airport Open - Bangkok in Distress
Pattaya Times Editor’s Note: Many embassies in Bangkok are sending this type of message as the US notice below to citizens from those countries who are known to live in Thailand. It is very important to register with your own embassy so you can receive email updates and any warnings as natural disasters or political turmoil develop in Thailand. It is widely reported that the "Bangkok Airport is flooded and closed" in the international media. This applies only to the old Don Muang airport which operates some domestic flights and cargo flights. However, at the time of this writing, the Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand's main international airport and a critical ASEAN hub for connecting flights is operating on schedule with no delays, cancellations or flood-related problems except a shortage of taxis.

The Supreme Commander of Thailand's most powerful police division, the Crime Suppression Police, supported the police order the shut down of a vicious blog website in Thailand called www.andrew-drummond.com and the arrest of the person responsible during a meeting with Drew Noyes, Managing Director of PAPPA Co., Ltd. Law Office. Many Thai police were summoned to fast action. Following several postings of lies and fabrications about a prominent person in Thailand a small, blog website based in Bangkok is now the focus of a Thai police investigation at the highest level. The Supreme Commander of Thailand's most powerful police division, the Crime Suppression Police, has ordered the Cyber Crimes Division and the Information and the Technology Commission (ITC) to assist the Royal Thai Police in Pattaya and Bangkok, saying, “This is a very prominent foreigner in Thailand that this website is lying about for no reason except to hurt his reputation so close it down and catch the people responsible.” It will take some time but as Drummond continues to post more lies he digs an even deeper hole. | Heavy rain and flooding hit several northern and northeastern provinces while local authorities are prepared for more rain as tropical storm Nok-Ten enters Thailand Sunday.
