BRITISH tourists in Thailand were facing terror and turmoil today after protesters forced Bangkok airport to cancel all flights.
They are among an estimated 3,000 people stranded by an anti-government protest which has led to shooting and bomb explosions close to the airport.
The Foreign Office said some Britons passed through immigration controls, but were unable to board planes and were now having to be looked after by airport officials after being stuck, visa-less, in a "no-man's land" between immigration and aircraft.
The Britons at the airport had to contend with anti-government protesters - some masked and armed with metal rods - swarming into the airport overnight, forcing authorities to cancel all 292 flights today.
Passengers had to sleep where they could - on suitcases, luggage trolleys, security conveyor belts and behind vacated check-in counters.
Do you know of anyone who is caught up in the chaos at Bongkok airport? Maybe you are waiting for news from friends and family who were due to fly back to Britain.
