Dissolving the Thailand Government

The case involved allegation of voter fraud by the People Power Party and two of its coalition partners in an election in December 2007. The court also banned the top leaders of the chart Thai and Matchima Thipataya parties from politics for five years.

The crisis began in last Tuesday when the anti-governments protests in Bangkok closed down the city airports causing tens of thousands tourists being incarcerated by inconvenience.

About 100, 000 people have been stranded by the closures, dealing a severe blow  to the country's  reputation  as a safe and reliable vacation destination. Officials project the tourism industry's losses from now until the end of the year will balloon to about 150 billion baht ($4.2 billion), equal to 1.5 percent of gross domestic product.

I understand the necessity of all public demonstrations, in this case it worked, too -- but don't we need to think about those innocent tourists that have no apparent interest in the issue are just stuck there as a mere victim of the situation? In a global environment we need to consider everyone's interest before we indulge in a behavior that negatively affects us socially, economically and culturally.
