The siege of the International airport left Thailand with tens of thousands of tourists all trying to leave through a military base at Utapao about an hours drive east of Pattaya.
The International airport at Suvarnabhumi handles about 900 flights a day, Utapao has a capacity of about 20 so it wasn’t a difficult decision for me to stay put for a while. But I was heartened to learn that those weary travellers that braved the bottleneck were treated to free food and a cultural show.
The show included classical dance, local musicians and a ladyboy cabaret troupe. My thanks to a reader from Sydney for sending this rather fetching pic.
