A Swedish man has been arrested in Phuket for the possession of Marijuana. He said it belongs to a friend that he wanted to help stop using the drug (not the best story). The man was riding his bike and was stopped by the police in Phuket and they found he drugs on him. Swedish newspapers talk about death penalty but since it is only marijuana that will not be the case.

The Swedish man complains over bad food and a hot cell he also says his lawyer want to take all his money and is not any good. Welcome to Thailand mate, make your self at home.

If he had any money he could have raised bail but he says he does not have any so he is stuck. My advice is to sell the bike the fat gold chain around the neck and give the police what they want to forget the door open and leave the country.

The PAD in south Thailand threatening to close airports again and the five airports are Hat Yai, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani and Phuket. They told the press that they will start blocking the airports on Saturday when the new PM trying to visit his home town. The PAD wants him to back to Bangkok since they think he is a proxy for his brother in law Mr Thaksin the former ousted PM of Thailand.

The Thai parliament is now in a extra session and the blaming game is on. One thing is for sure and that is that Samak the PM and defense minister is not giving up.

All Airports in Thailand is not working as normal but the train traffic is still in blockaded by the PAD and the Thai union.
The Metropolitan Police chief was moved to an inactive post probably because he did not want to do as PM want.

Democratic Alliance against Dictatorship DAAD is doing a counter rally against PAD. DAAD is a supporter of the current government PPP (People Power Party) and PPP is a proxy government for TRT (Thai love Thai).

The PM and leader of PPP Samak is telling Thailand he is staying put and will not resign even if most of the military does not support him.

The rail way and two airports in South Thailand Phuket and Krabi is still shut down and tourists are stranded. Most of them are going for busses back to Bangkok.

If you planning a holiday in Thailand then go to something like Hua Hin, Pattaya or something reachable by buss. Even if trouble will erupt in the Capital nothing will even happen in Hua Hin since the His Majesty the King is there.
