The Indian press is reporting from Kolkata this morning that the Thailand military coup has caused hundreds of Indians to change their travel plans away from Thailand, barely a week before the Pujas festival.
The Indian (airline) Calcutta-Bangkok flight on Wednesday took-off with 36 passengers, instead of the scheduled 51. According to airport sources, the Bangkok-Calcutta was full.
Tourists eyeing their most favoured foreign destination have, over the past 24 hours, decided to give the pleasures of Thailand a miss and head for safer pastures instead, reported the Telegraph of Kolkata.
Travel agents recorded "more than 100 Thailand-linked cancellations" on Wednesday alone, the paper said.
