Stranded tourists buying bus tickets to return home

Many travellers from Singapore and European countries in Songkhla's Hat Yai district travelled to Thailand's neighbouring countries via public vans and buses on Saturday after Suvarnabhumi International Airport was under sige by the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).
Foreign tourists in Hat Yai rushed to buy bus and van tickets to Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to get back to their countries. However, the number of bus services were inadequate, leaving many foreigners stranded and forcing them to wait to buy the tickets the next day.
