A New Zealand-resident Thai woman accused of a lese majeste offence did not show up for a flight to Auckland yesterday after police admitted her to hospital.

Self-appointed yellow shirt vigilantes showed up at the airport, supposedly to ensure that Thitinant Kaewchantranont (inset) did not leave for New Zealand. (Post Today photo)

About 200 people had turned up at Suvarnabhumi airport to protest against her possible departure.

Am I missing something here? She made an improper gesture to a picture.
Now she is being put in a mental hospital?

Her husband just left her here and went to New Zealand.
Does he not care about her? Or glad to get rid of her?

The other thing How did the 200 protesters know she was leaving on that flight?

"A THAI source said the plane's captain had pledged to refuse to pilot the aircraft if Ms Thitinant was on board, arguing the woman could pose a security risk."
Did she do something else to warrant such a fear????

Something is not right about this story.

To classify someone as being "unfit " to leave the country is a new wrinkle - unfit to stay would kind of make sense but unfit to leave. Wish I could have used that excuse to avoid those visa runs years ago.

So she wants to go to a country where she won't have the police, yellow shirt vigilantes, and an airline pilot ganging up on her for something that is legal in much of the rest of the world. Doesn't sound so crazy to me.

I'm with Discs 2 and 3: I'm wondering about another story here not addressed by the BP in as much detail as it should be, that being protesters holding posters in the air turned loose inside the main terminal at Suvarnabhumi airport.
