For a second day in a row, flights into and out of BKK is being cancelled by airlines around the world, first only on Wednesday, and later, announced as being cancelled indefinitely until situation stabilizes.
This is a blow to Thailand’s $29 billion tourism industry, and if you divide that by 365, effectively Thailand is losing close to $80 million per day each day the airport is closed. And with the loss of confidence on the political stability, the loss is probably going to be a bigger amount than that when all this is over.
