Pak Chong:Hot Air Balloon Festival

On the King's birthday I went to Pak Chong for the Hot Air Balloon Festival.My train ticket to Pak Chong was just 36 Baht and the train station two guys gave me a lift to a songtaew which took me to the War Dog Battalion ground the venue for the 2nd Hot Air Balloon festival to be head there.Originally there were to be many more Hot Air Balloons but because of the closure of the airports many people had cancelled coming to Thailand.

Airports reopen

On Monday night the moon 'smiled' (the planets Jupiter and Venus were postitioned beneath the moon giving the impression that the moon was smiling);this was looked upon to be a good sign for Thailand;the land of smiles needed something positive and in a court ruling this week Prime Minister Somchai and other members of his party were judged to have committed electoral fraud so yet another Prime Minister is kicked out.
The PAD supporters have moved out of Government House and upon the news being announced they also decided to terminate their occupation of the aiports.
The aiports are now nearly back to normal and hopefully the thousands of passengers who were stranded as a result of the PAD's action will soon be able to return home.
