There was a good turnout for this ceremony, in total about 30 people. It was also attended by the new director of Phuket Airport and his senior staff, and they hastily erected tents close to the plane wreckage because of the rain yesterday.

Press from both Phuket and overseas also attended. A Buddhist blessing was performed by monks from Nai Yang temple and 2 German relatives of plane crash victims laid a wreath. Wreaths from my hotel and myself were also laid.

I am very happy that the new airport director attended at very short notice. His attitude seems much better than his predecessor.

I should also thank my ex who actually organised the majority of this ceremony since I'm not in Phuket. She has taken photos, so I'll try to get these uploaded in the near future.

There is a report also on the Phuket Gazette website.

The ONLY reason the airport was so cooperative- this time, Simon was because of that German TV crew.

There were 10 or more staff from the airport, 4-5 Thai press, the two men from Germany/Austria, ( were they on flight 269 or did they lose friends? ) 4 in their filming crew entourage- and somebody ranting about indicting Udom.

And that plane is still there, fully accessible from the beach and still being stripped as evidenced by retied tarping.
