The residents of Lam Luka and Sai Mai on the northern boundary of the airport have been on high alert since last night (Thursday). We'll know by Saturday morning is there is going to be a major problem there.
In the meantime the powers that be are saying that Suvarnabhumi
should be OK but I remember the photograph I took from the air just before the new airport opened -
